Hello! I would like to thank all who have donated. I know times are rough right now, and that just makes us even more grateful for you all. Moms' surgery went very well and she is on the road to recovery. May God bless you all , and once again, thank you for your generosity :)

Good morning/afternoon!!! In my update last night I promised a list of the items that your money will be going toward. The diagnosis that she was given is Malignant Neoplasm of the tip and lateral border of the tongue, as well as Dysphasia. At this point in the process we are still preparing for her surgery, so we will not know the severity of her treatment, whether it be chemo, radiation or both, and post-op care. At this point what we do know is that VA insurance is only covering 80% of all procedures, medications, and her time at the hospital; the rest is up to us! Due to the location of the cancer they are going to be taking about 2" of her tongue and the surrounding lymph nodes just as a precaution. With such a big portion of her tongue being gone she will have to learn to speak and eat all over again. She will be getting her nutrients through a tube as she is re-learning to chew and regain the function of her jaw, tongue and neck muscles (everything that is required to chew and swallow.) 

Hello everyone! I, like a lot of people like to know where my money is going when I donate to one of these sites. Tomorrow I will be providing a list of the bills/expenses that your grately appreciated donations will be going to. Please know that we are eternally grateful for any and all funds that are contributed to our cause.......
