As I type my Nana is in Columbia Medical Center of Plano, TX awaiting brain surgery. In fact she could be in surgery right now. A few months ago she started having leg seizures and they discovered a meningioma benign brain tumor. They decided to do stereotactic radiosurgery first to try to kill it. This hasn’t worked and since then she’s been confined to a wheelchair and can’t use her right arm or leg. She can’t do anything for herself including feed herself, so my Pop has had to do everything and he’s exhausted.
On Monday, the 20th of November, Pop took her to the hospital to see her dr in Mt. Pleasant and he admitted her. Then, he contacted her Dallas doctor and had her moved to Dallas (Plano) where she is now. Since then they’ve been running all kinds of tests and have decided to do the surgery to remove the tumor. They say that this is the only way that she is going to be able to get better. The tumor is pressing on the other parts of the brain and that’s what’s causing the seizures and symptoms.
Please pray for:
Doctors and nurses
Pop to have strength and be refreshed
Their trust in the Lord
Complete recovery
Strength for Rehab
