WHere does your sis live?
she's right in upper pottsgrove!

my mom will be see a nuerologist at penn as well at the end of the month, and we'll have see what he says too. but so far it seems pretty positive considering her age and this being just diagnosed the outcome looks good!

but again thanks for all your thoughts and prayers you guys are very sweet and supportive. i just needed to vent a little and thought i'd put it out there.....

thanks!smile03.gif

Everything went fine, thank god. She's such a trooper and just a fighter in general. The worst part about it for her was that they had to shave her head. (So she says) :-)

Obviously, it was a lot scarier for me and my sisters, but God truly does work miracles. So keep praying!!

UPDATE!

 

So my mom saw Dr. O'Malley at Penn on tuesday, she feels more comfortable now with her diagnosis and felt more comfortable with him. She felt like he was more knowledgeable about the disease and she found that more comforting. They have given her a diagnosis of NF2 and believe it might even be Schwannomatosis, which is even more rare!

 

I've decided to go on a joint appointment with my mom for our genetic counselling, it'll be a family affair!

That sounds really good. I'm glad she found a doctor that she likes, that's really important. Keep us updated!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
