Your thoughts and prayers were felt yesterday. Knowing that no matter what RO said, that I had my family here at the OCF kept me grounded and strong. Thank you.
The appt was fantastic! He is thrilled with her progress, said her tongue, which looks like a volcano erupted, was in advanced healing stages, enough so that it wouldn't be out of the question to do a baseline MRI at this point. He did warn of false positives, but felt ok ordering test all the same.
He told her to go on her vacation, did I tell you that my dad booked a trip for them 4 months ago? They are going to Mexico with friends Feb 1st - 8th.
The visit was great. Need to stop listening to family and well meaning friends....told mom I was going back on patrol--no negative allowed in her vicinity.
Thank you all for your love and support.
