I haven’t blogged in a bit. Only been 5 days, but it feels like years. So much has happened in the past few days, I hardly know where to start. Some of which I can’t talk about here yet because there is information I need to share with folks face-to-face before they read it on my website.
You know you’ve had a crazy week when your brother-in-law (Eric’s younger brother) is in the ICU with a brain tumor and that’s just one of the things going on (not everything is *this* bad, some is even a bit good…just have to be careful what I say now). But it is the most immediate…and the most scary at this moment. He is only 40 years old. He has a wife and two beautiful girls. Apparently he had been having headaches for a few months and because he’s young and most headaches in young, generally healthy yuppie-types turn out to be nothing but stress his doctor suggested Aleve and he went about his business. It was his eye doctor that noticed trouble and sent him for a MRI which found a tumor in the right parietal lobe. He’s been in the hospital since Friday night. Eric and I spent most of yesterday at the hospital with Eric’s family. I’m sitting by the phone waiting to hear from my sister-in-law what the neurosurgeon says is the next step. The girls are with my Mom, since we have to be ready to rush back to the hospital.
Prayers and good thoughts gratefully accepted.
Update: Surgery is scheduled for Wednesday (January 19).
