Mom's 6 week postop visit

Yesterday Mom and I made that all too familiar trip to Kirklin Clinic. Everytime I visit I think maybe this will be the last time we have to come here. Yesterday, I had a different feeling as we walked through the second floor cooridor. I thought to myself well as long as I am coming here that means Mom is alive! This Chrismas I am more thankful than ever to have my Mom. I know that God helped the Dr. to find her condition and treat it so that she will be here for me and my child these next few years. It is almost eerie to think that I was 3.5 weeks pregnant while she underwent brain surgery, and none of us had a clue. I am thankful for the fact that I didn't know, because it would have made that week much more difficult. I am also thankful that we found out 1 week postop that I was pregnant, because it gave my Mom something to look forward to.

Well back to the Dr. appt. Mom had a CT Scan yesterday morning, and the Dr. said everything looks normal! This was really the only thing we learned. She will go back next week for an EEG to see if she can come off of the seizure meds. She is very anxious to get off of this med. because of the side effects. If the EEG looks good they will start decreasing her dosage and we will go back in Jan. to see if she can come off completely.
