Zac's Mom Update-Prayer Request

Posted on 04/30/2006 9:25:05 PM PDT by Hi Heels

As many of you know, Zac's mom has been sick for the last couple of months. I got a message from her husband, Tom, yesterday and the following email.

"ZM is gaining a little bit each day, but is still very weak and needs the oxygen in order to breath comfortably. Any small amount of exercise just poops her out and movement brings pain. They had to cut their way through muscles in her back/shoulder to get to the growth on her lung so they say that will be a long time healing. She is beginning to get more range of motion without pain but it is a slow growing process. She is now getting to her computer for 15 -20 minute once each day, but has to much pain to stay longer or try to type so mostly she is reading email and is weeks behind with that. She has little or no appetite so is eating very little and as a result is losing some weight.

We are visiting with the oncologist on Monday 05/01. However, I believe we will have to put off chemo until she heals more from the surgery. I am told Chemo would slow or stop the healing process. So it seems likely that she will not begin treatment for at least a couple more weeks.

Thanks for the love, prayers and good wishes. Tom"

I know that all her FRiends here have been praying and sending their most loving thoughts ZM'S way. Please help her by continuing or even doubling your prayers for her. Also, most of us have enjoyed her talent with graphics, and the many times she has posted something really wonderfully done for our troops or even for one of us individually. What I'd like you do do is to give her some love on this thread. Get creative and give her something great to read. Thanks, and God bless.....

I got a call from ZacsMom's husband Tom this evening. ZM is going into surgery tomorrow to remove stage 3 cancerous growths from her lungs and lymph nodes. Her previous surgery removed a 6cm growth and a portion of one of her lungs. If she is stable after the surgery, they will proceed with chemo and radiation. The growths that tested negative for cancer previously were next to the growths that now test positive at stage 3. She has a great deal of trouble breathing and tires very easily. Tom is also kept busy with his elderly father who took a fall last week and was hospitalized for breaking a bone under his eye. So, Tom is caring for him as well. Please keep this family and ZM especially in your prayers over the next several days. If ZM gave you her mailing address, please be sure to send her a card. If not, FReepmail me and I will have Tom contact you. Thank you for all your prayers for this wonderful lady.....
