[at-l] Mom update

[DaRedhead@aol.com]

Well, I just spent the past four days with Mom - first time I've seen her 
since I took her home two months ago.  I was shocked, and not prepared.  For 
those of you who don't know, they have indeed found another tumor, and it 
isn't one that can be "fixed."  The original happy reports were wrong.  The 
roller coaster ride just keeps developing bigger "downs", as far as I can 
tell.

She asked me to pass along her "hello" to the group, and to tell you she was 
really disappointed to miss Trail Days, seeing old friends and meeting new 
ones. She was especially sorry not to meet Give Me Chocolate, and see 
LeapFrog again, and some others who have been very supportive during this 
time.  She thanks everyone for their messages of hope, good cheer, and caring 
- much more than she had ever expected when she first joined this list.  

I can pretty much guarantee that I won't be posting any good news in the 
future on this subject - I am not giving up all hope, but reality is becoming 
harder and harder to ignore. 

Please keep her in your prayers, whatever form those take.
