Im so glad your mother decided to go ahead with the surgery. Sounds like she is recovering at a very fast pace. Your mom is a lucky lady to have raised you to be such a wonderful daughter. Its always so nice to hear when things work out so well for a patient. Im sure she will be back to herself and singing up a storm very soon. Best of luck to your mom and the rest of your family  ChristineSCC 6/15/07 L chk & by L molar both Stag I, age44 2x cispltn-35 IMRT end 9/27/07 -65 lbs in 2 mo, no caregvr Clear PET 1/08 4/4/08 recur L chk Stag I surg 4/16/08 clr marg 215 HBO dives 3/09 teeth out, trismus 7/2/09 recur, Stg IV 8/24/09 trach, ND, mandiblctmy 3wks medicly inducd coma 2 mo xtended hospital stay, ICU & burn unit PICC line IV antibx 8 mo 10/4/10, 2/14/11 reconst surg OC 3x in 3 years very happy to be alive |
