First, it was wonderful to see and spend just a little time with my cousin Karen, along with her husband Dan. It didn't take us long to realize that it had been over forty years since we had seen each other....whew, time really does fly! So much has changed for both of us during that time, but it was great to start "catching up", and I look forward to getting together again (in the not-too-distant future).
On the not-so-good part of the week, we found out Friday that my Dad has a small tumor in the frontal lobe section of his skull. During appointment on Friday, the doctor expressed great concern over the shape of the tumor and has scheduled him for a complete bone scan and MRI on Tuesday the 21st. We should have more information by the end of the week, and have decided to NOT share this news with my Mom until we know a little more (she is in the nursing home).
As you imagine, most of my time is consumed with checking on Mom, spending time with her, taking Dad to doctor appointments, trying to see that he eats at least a little, spending time with him, and then recovering, only to start all over again! But I do feel very blessed to be able to be here and to spend this time with them....time that could never be recovered. Family......a true treasure!
