In April 2016, Kelly was hospitalized after a seizure, and was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. On September 17th, 2017, Kelly passed away at home, surrounded by a houseful of people crying and hugging and laughing and eating. This blog has traced our journey through this cancer, and will continue for at least a few weeks as we begin grieving the loss of this amazing lady.

Tuesday noontime update
Hello All,
Mom's acute symptoms are doing a bit better today. She is regaining the function in her right hand, probably mostly due to meds they are using to treat the swelling caused by whatever is wrong in her "stupid head" (Mom's phrase, not mine). They still aren't sure what is going on, and probably won't know more until they do a biopsy.
And... it's looking like they have pushed that from tomorrow to Thursday. More waiting. Definitely not my favorite part of all of this.
As of right now, they are planning to keep her in the hospital until they can do that biopsy, but she's antsy to go home, so again... we'll see how it plays out over the next couple of days.
Thank you all for your care and concern!
-Elizabeth

ReplyDeleteKelly and the rest of your family was certainly missed at Town Meeting today, as you are all very active participants. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Take care of each other! Amy
ReplyDeleteDear Kelly, Town meeting was not the same: Did we count the votes correctly? Ask the right questions? And do so in the most tactful way? Did we bring people together? Please, please, please take care of yourself. Prayers and hopes from many concerned citizens are directed your way. --Henry and Joanna
