First off thanks to everyone for all of your love and support. I thought I would give everyone a update on where we are at with my mom. We got the results from her MRI and its kind of confusing. The Dr. said the swelling from the injections and from her bulging discs added with a abnormally small spinal opening at the bottom of her spine is cutting off normal circulation to the lower part of her body. I guess it puts lots of pressure on those nerves therefor causing major pain.
He fells like he can get the swelling and pain under control here and they well get her blood level where it needs to be for a spinalcord stimulator implant. She is still in tremendous pain. I think she will be there for a few more days. He said they would get the stimulator in probably in a couple of weeks.
Thanks again for all of the prayers.

Wow, this year has sure been quite a roller coaster for your poor mom. Well, I'm glad they could figure it out there and not have to fly her out. We sure miss you and miss the kids in primary. Thanks for the update! Take care and let me know if there is anything you need me to do while you are up there!
Holy crap! What can I do? I'm too far away to babysit so we'll just keep you in our prayers. I'm so sorry for your sweet mom. Give her my love. :)
