Update...

Mom saw Dr. Spetzler yesterday and he was really pleased with how well she is doing. He suggests that she complete physical therapy for the month of August to get her used to more activity before returning to her normal life. He scheduled a follow-up with her 3 years from now... seems like a long time.. but he is sure that the procedure was successful and that she will not need to be seen until then to check on the progress.

Regarding cancer...Dr. Zafar, mom's oncologist, has scheduled her MRI for August 4 and PET scan for August 7, now that she is done with the AVM issue. We can now look forward to getting positive results from these tests that she is cancer-free! She will get the results at the end of August.

Stay strong Mama!

Recovery...

Mom is doing really well! She is feeling much better than the first couple weeks, but she still gets fatigued and dizzy every once in a while. She meets with Dr. Spetzler next week for her post-op appointment.
