Celebration of Life

Just in case anyone is still out there....

The celebration of Life for my mother is being held this Saturday, May 2, 2009. We will host it at the "Midlothian Conference Center." Midlothian, TX.

The celebration will run from 4 to 6 pm and is a come and go event.

Heidi is really planning most of it. I am just helping here and there. We are curious about numbers because we are serving appetizers and snacks. IF you have not gotten an Evite from me - please email me at aclark78@hotmail.com. IF you haven't gotten an e-mail it is because of an oversight and not because we don't value your friendship.

The celebration is one for my mom, but it is also one to say thank you to all of you who have prayed for her along the way. We never would have made it through all of this without you!

Please come and celebrate with us!

Released!

Avid readers - here is another update in the story of Mom.  

Mom and Daddy went to the doctor today for a check up.  This is Dr. Porter.  He was the doctor overseeing her case since she went to the rehabilitation center.

Dr. Porter got reports from Mom's speech therapist and physical therapist (Ethan).  The speech therapist at Baylor may release Mom as early as Friday.  We will have to wait a bit longer for Ethan to release her.  She is still working on balance and stability.

With the reports sounding positive, Dr. Porter decided to release Mom!  She can go back to work.  Mom is not sure of the exact start date but we anticipate it could be in the next two weeks.  

Mom is a bit worried that she will be very tired if she works all day.  I think that at the end of every day most of us are very tired.  I think she will not be the only one.

Things are going very well.  Mom still cannot drive and I really want to thank all of her friends who have helped get her to and from appointments.  You helped my father and I out a lot by driving her where she needed to go when we couldn't.

Thank you to all who have brought food and prayed for my mom.  Without you, we would be in really bad shape!  

The story of Mom batteling her brain tumor seems to be coming close to an end.  I am not done writing yet.  I will post more about Mom's progress as it comes available.  Anything newsworthy - I will post.  Just check once a week or so.  

I will post more details about the May 2nd celebration soon.  Please come!  We would love to see you and thank you in person for helping our family!  

On a side note.  You have been so kind to pray for my mom.  Just as her story is winding down, I have another friend in need of your prayers.  Our best friend has a four year old daughter who is currently in Cook Medical Center batteling for her life.  She was admitted on Sunday.  The doctors don't know what is wrong.  She is on life support.  We pray that she will live and be healed completely.  You can follow her blog at this spot:  www.godsavetrinity.blogspot.com

Thank you!
