Lighting a candle for my Mom

Mom had been fighting what she thought was bronchitis. Along with that she was having some pretty serious chest pain. After a long enough period, they did some chest x-rays and a CT scan and so forth...

She found out Friday that there was an orange-sized growth in the upper lobe of her left lung. Making it worse, it was growing around, and restricting blood flow of her left main pulmonary artery. Her doctor believes she will require immediate surgery. It will essentially be an open-heart procedure.

I have been fortunate in that both of my parents have been in relatively good health the last several years. Frankly, this scares the hell out of me, as it is my Mom to whom I am closest in my family... I'm working to keep my fears at bay and focus instead on her recovery and healing.

That's very scary. I'll be praying for you, your mother, and your family. I hope everything goes smoothly and that she will have a speedy recovery.

Grammercy One and All. I can't imagine how she feels...I'm scared. I'm doing my best to be positive and upbeat.

Mom is to meet with the surgeon tomorrow afternoon. I suspect we'll find out more about next steps/timing. My suspicion is once we know, things will happen fast. Mom did say she would update us after the appointment. I will update you wonderful souls once I know more.

Thank You.
