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.....
Thank you for the update. I miss her so much. Prayers for Zacs Mom continue always.
I'm definitely offering prayers for Zacs Mom and her husband Tom during this difficult ordeal. God bless them both!
Prayer is needed. Please see post 128.
Prayers sent. Thank you for the update.
Prayers on the way...
Thanks for the update.
Prayers continue from Central Va!
Prayers for ZM. God Bless
Still praying for you and yours, ZM.
Let us with faith hope He shall hear all the heart felt prayers being lifted up for Zac's mom and allow her to fully heal, and provide the means for increasing relieve from pain.
God bless the medical caregivers and give comfort to the families. God bless them all.
Prayers going out for ZM and family.
Hope you get well soon. May the Lord bless you.
Thank you so much for this ping, Hi Heels.
I've been wondering about ZM and Tom, and keeping them in my prayers.
I pray with all of my heart that the surgery and treatment for the removal of these growths is successful, and that ZM will receive the sustaining strength and blessings needed to see her safely through this ordeal.
God bless and be with Tom's dad for a full recovery as well, and may He certainly bless Tom with every blessing needed as he attends to the needs of his loved ones.
