The doctor decided to order a CAT scan to see what was causing this. They found a very large tumor at the base of her brain. After more tests, she was flown to Denver to have surgery to get it taken out. I went with her on the airplane. That was not a fun experience and was glad that I hadn't eaten dinner that night. I stayed with her through the surgery and Gwen was able to be with her that night (Christmas eve) and is still with her. Jared came and stayed with me on Sunday and Monday. Mom really enjoyed having him, she focused on him while she was coming out of the anesthesia. She told me later that she didn't think she would have come back to us if it weren't for him being there.
Jared and I left Denver Monday night after we we sure she was ok. We got as far as Laramie that night. We needed four wheel drive pretty much from Denver to Casper. We were able to show up at our house by one in the afternoon. Spike and the boys had the house all spiffed up, dinner cooking and the presents ready to unwrap. Special thanks go out to friends and family who said prayers for us. Mom continues to do well. The surgery went very well and she could be home by the end of the week.
