Thursdays Appt.
Sorry for the delay in updating regarding the appt. on Thursday – it was not a real uplifting one and it was long. So we took a much needed break from the Tumor so that Andrea could enjoy her birthday. The tumor seems to be affecting her 4th and 6th optical nerve, causing her to see double when looking left and right – therefore making is difficult to walk. They will not know if this is because of increased pressure or tumor growth until after surgery. So many unknowens until after the surgery. So now we are to April 4th, BIRTHDAY DAY and the birthday girl wanted hamburger & fries for lunch so Grammy & Grampa came over & we grilled burgers & then after lunch some of Andreas good friends came for a visit and to have very chocalate cake & brought some very special birthday gifts. Andrea had a fun afternoon and some great laughs with everyone. She had not been out to see her horse since the 10th, so her horse crazy friends took her out to see Razzi and gave Razzi her wormer too. It was a good day, and also the first day she did not have to take steriods. Now she is paying for it, Andrea and I have been up since 3:33am, she had a very painful night. We hope as the day goes on she will feel better. Now we just need to stay healthy until wednesday and get this surgery over with. We plan to take the laptop with us to the hospital and will try to update as we know anything. Thank you to everyone for the birthday cards and gifts and for spending the day with Andrea. Thanks for checking in on the birthday girl.
