MRI brings good news

Just a quick update, and I apologize because I know it's been a while. The results of Mom's MRI yesterday came in, and the tumor has shrunk! Isn't that wonderful? Also, there were no new tumors, so maybe this toxic mix of Avastin and Temodar (chemotherapy) is doing good work up there! Thank you, everyone, for your continued prayers. It really does help.

Mom has been sleeping most of the day, though she did get out and about for a little while. The physical therapist at the hospital helped her stand for about 20 minutes with the support of a walker, and she and Daddy took a stroll/roll (he walked, she wheeled) around the hospital corridors. But chemo is well known for sapping your energy and making you feel bad in general, and it's not going easy on Mom. She's getting lots of rest and good nursing care here, though. And the food is better than it was at the rehab hospital. Speaking of which, can anyone recommend a good inpatient rehab facility? We need to find one, stat.
