August 10 came and went and the results of Kaitlyn's latest MRI scans are, as yet, inconclusive. The good news is that whatever this lesion is, it is NOT aggressive and growing. We are very thankful for that. In the meantime, we are waiting for all the doctors, radiologists, neurosurgeons, neurologists and neuro-oncologists to weigh in on what to do next. Some docs have mentioned going into a continued surveillance mode. I'm not quite sure how I feel about that. We should have more opinions and strategies after next Tuesday, Aug. 28th, so I'm hoping to have something good to report by then. In the meantime, she has been healthy and happy. She seems to be falling more, e.g. off her bike, running and tripping, etc., but I can't tell you if that is just being a kid or something else. Neither can the doctors. It's frustrating, but we'll figure this thing out.
On a slightly different note, you'll notice that I have a link to my novel, Silent No More, on the right side here. My mom is trying to sell her house and it needs a lot of work. We're also trying to get her situated financially, since she has been living hand-to-mouth since my father died. I've been wracking my brain as to what I can do to be more of assistance. We have been hit pretty hard with medical costs and trying to save as much as possible in the event that the economy continues to slide.
It occurred to me this morning that I can raise money for my mom by donating all the proceeds of my e-book sales to meeting her needs. So I'm urging you all, my friends, that if you feel like you need a good book to read, then please click on the link and purchase my novel. If you love it, lend your review and pass the news on to your friends. If you don't like it, just toss it in the digital trash heap (I won't be offended in the least). In the meantime, all the money that comes from the sale of these e-books (minus taxes and a 10 percent donation to church) will be funneled back to helping my mom. Thanks in advance for all your support!
Seems sort of fitting, don't you think? The woman who first inspired my love of reading will be the beneficiary of my first novel.
