Deb update: Dec 19, 2007, 11:00 PM E.S.T.

Hi everyone, I got the chance to talk to Deb tonight and wanted to share what she said. “Basically, this sucks!” As you can see she’s still Deb. She’s concentrating on the very near term and getting some of the swelling down. If they can get that under control then she can look at treatment options. Word finding is getting harder and she is in a bit of pain, but right now it’s still manageable. She’s on her own tonight and tomorrow but her Mom, Dianne will be arriving in LA on Thursday night. She also said that her holiday card plans are on hold but that we should not use that as an excuse to send ours out late : )

She’s scheduled for another MRI in two weeks, assuming that symptoms don’t worsen. We’ll be updating news for everyone as we get it, and hopefully will be able to get posts from Deb and or her family when they are up to it.

Keep the faith!

Love, Amy Manning (aka blog maven)
