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 only wish I had 1/4 her talent!
My prayers double sent from me!
Lord, hear our prayers.
Hello Zacs Mom. I've missed your cheerful self around here. I hope your recovery is complete and rapid. In the meantime, I hope your many friends will lift you up. I'm glad you are still able to lurk a bit. I hope you're back to posting real soon.
Hoping for more news hi heels. I have zacs mom in my prayers every day.
Just checking in to say hi, and to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. God bless you on this beautiful Mother's Day and every day, ZM.
Sorry, folks, just got out of the hospital myself. I'll call her tonight and get an update. Keep her in your prayers.
Didn't know!...Hope you're on the mend, Hi Heels! God bless.
Prayers for ZM, and you too! :-)
Hello Hi Heels, sorry to hear about you and hope you are doing well now.
I have been watching for news of zacs mom and praying for her. Thankyou for the ping.
I spoke to Tom this afternoon. ZM is holding her own, still recovering from the removal of several tumors and a portion of one of her lungs. The doctors are trying to enrich her health to withstand the chemotherapy that is to come. She is unable to talk or chat on the computer right now due to the pain of the operation and as her body adapts to having the partial lungectomy (sp?). She's still in good spirits, and thanks all of you for the prayers and wonderful thoughts the last couple of months. Thank for for continuing to keep her in your prayers and in your hearts.
Smartass was good enough to point me to this thread;

We really miss you out here. Until you're well and can come back here frequently, I'll just imagine what you'd say about the various issues of the day. I really enjoyed your posts. Double prayers up for quick recovery and successful treatment.
