I apologize for such a late update. As I mentioned in the morning post the Doctor gave Bill, Jimbo and Annie a plan of attack. They hope that radiation therapy will alleviate the pressure on her sciatic nerve. It's not a guarantee that she'll regain movement in her right leg, but we're glad they're willing to try. She will have 10 rounds and she'll have it everyday except on the weekends. She had her first round late this afternoon at the same center where she has chemo. She had to lay on her stomach, which was not ideal, especially as she was not on her pain drip. She also was left waiting after her treatment for two hours until an ambulance became available to pick her up. By the time she got back to the hospital she was very uncomfortable and fuming mad!! Not the best of afternoons!
She is back at North Memorial now and will be there for the next couple days for sure. She is open to visitors and phone calls. I just got off the phone with Tom (he drove up early this morning) and he reports she's in good spirits! She has gotten to spend Valentines Day with all her kids!!

I end this post with a prayer...
Trust in The Lord with all your heart
And lean not on your own understanding
In all your ways acknowledge him
And HE will make your path straight
Proverbs 3:5-6
God Bless
