hi everyone
spoke to mums nurse last night they are talking about taking mum to theatre next week to reduce the bulk from the tunge chemo finished and fingers crossed in a few weeks she will go back to theatre hand have her tube from her throat taken out and couple of weeks after that she will get home for good as the will need to reintroduce food again as a mchine is feeding her just now she is desprite for a cup of tea or in her case a cup of warm milk with a wave of the tea bag over the cup

Liz this is GREAT news RIGHT? I am so sorry I do not know what theatre is? I am praying it is a good thing..I am like your mum, would love to have a cup of coffee. It has been 9 months since I have had one...I miss my cup of coffee. Pray not to much longer.....I have been missing out on everything tho,,,not just the coffee. I wouldn't complain at all if that were all that I was missing. Please take care and thank you for the update on MUM...ALways Vicki Lynn

Oh I see, well now that makes sense, Boy, a little slow on the roll. I am so happy about you mum. Love her a lot, be there for her, and always tell her how proud you are of her. That always made me feel so good. You keep us informed on MUM. Tell her that there are so so many people pulling for her.....Okay. Vicki Lynn

hi mum is going to the operating theatre to have her tungue reduced
thank you dr vindod for explaining this to me i am not as worried as i know she is in safe hands

hi everyone
went to see mum tonight and waw what a tranformation he4r tunge is in her mouth she is all swelled up but should go down in a few days next big op is to have the tube from her throat and then home at last it been a long three months but in a few week i will have my mum home
my family have still not been in to see her in weeks

Hello Liz

Good to know the op went well and your mum is fine. She will need some rest and a few more days to feel better. You need to get enough rest for yourself too. Take care.

hi everyone
i can't see for tears here as mum talked for the first time tonight she has not spoken since before the operation in june i am so happy that she is on the mend dr vindod i will rest i promise but if i rest now i wont get up again i should though now mum is in the clear dr vindod when mum comes home will that be her finished or will the do a check up

Hello Liz

That's very good news. She will need to practice working at her speech and swallowing. She will be having appointments for check ups with her doctors at the hospital for follow up, I think.

Best wishes

dr vindod
mum got her tube out today bu the nurse took it out and covered it but it was not stitched i don't think i thought she would need an operation to hav it removed and the hole closed with stitches last night it was cpped off tonight it not in at all could you explain

You have got to be one HAPPY FAMILY about right now. I mean this is wonderful to hear! You should do something for her, that poor woman has been thru HELL! So have the rest of you. CELEBRATE as best you can without over doing it for mum.....Thank You LORD for hearing all of us.....Once again....You are the BEST!!!! ALways Vicki Lynn

Dear Liz, Congratulations to your dear mum. I don't think she would have made such good progress without you always there. You will get your reward in heaven! Hop[e that is many years away for you all.
She is a very brave lady. Hope she doesn't have an EDINBURGH accent now! Passed through Glasgow last week on way back from Findhorn and thought about you and your mother and hoped you were warmer than I had been in the 'holiday caravan '!
All the best. IshbelX Just think. You will have her home for Chrstmas!

hi everyone
mum is getting home next week BUT only if she can change and hook up her own feeding bottles the nurse tild me last night that if she doesn't start trying to change her own feed then she will have to go into a nursing home she has no interest in it well is that so i will be having words about that she can't go home unless she can change her own bottle
