Visitors Welcome

Monica is continuing to get stronger everyday. She is moving around the house very well and is way ahead of where she was two years ago physically. She is looking forward to seeing all of you and if you wish to see her please text or call Franklin at 410 991 6873

Home Sweet Home

Monica is now home from the hospital. She does not want to have any visitors at this time.

Update 3/21

The pathology report for Monica came back and her tumor is a Grade 4 GBM, which is cancerous. The next step is figuring out her chemo and radiation treatment schedule, which will get figured out in the couple of weeks. Please keep up your prayers and we will update you shortly.

Strides in Recovery

Progress is being made every hour. She is now eating solid foods, drinking Starbucks, and taking walks. Again all is going according to schedule and there will be another update tomorrow afternoon.

Even more progress

All is going according to plan for Monica. She was recently transferred out of ICU and is currently on a liquid diet. Please keep praying for her they have been working so far.

More progress

8:17am Monica is recovering as expected. She will be moving out of ICU this morning and is expected to be home this weekend. We are waiting results on the pathology report which we get back sometime early next week. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

In ICU

1:00pm Lisa, Franklin, and I (Alan) just saw Monica in the recovery room. She is awake, thirsty, and sarcastic. Everything is going as well as expected. We will update later this evening.

Surgery Update

Monica's surgery is completed and everything went well. Dr. Jean talked to Franklin and there was no surprises. Monica is headed to recovery and we will be updating you in the next couple of hours.

Monica Chaney Update 3/8/13

A Note from Franklin:

Dear Family and Friends,

As many of you know two years ago my wife, Monica, had successful surgery for a brain tumor.  Monica has had several MRI's since but unfortunately the last one shows the start of another tumor (its small).  She is now scheduled to have surgery in 11 days.  We met with the doctor today and most of our questions cannot be answered until he studies the tumor after the surgery.  Monica is able to play tennis, teach, drive a car, etc until the surgery.

My son Alan and cousin RG will be setting up a blog to provide updates following the surgery.

PLEASE keep her in your prayers!

Franklin
