First and foremost, MY MOM HAD A SUCCESSFUL SURGERY!!!
They were able to remove the large tumor in her brain and since the surgery she has been feeling 100x better! They put her on a new kind of chemo therapy and reduced the dosage of the drug she was having trouble with. Today she is going to have 87 staples in her head removed so I think she's feeling a little anxious. The surgery did leave her with a big U-shaped scar but I told her it just gives her an excuse to get another "fly" wig haha. She's got like 4 at home and she was rocking a "longer" style at one point but my dad told her he thought she looked like Ringo Starr when she wore it haha. Needless to say she she wasn't pleased with that comment and wanted to switch it up. Who knows...maybe she'll take a page from my book and go blonde?!
Anyway, with major surgery there is a long recovery period so it will take her time to get back to 'normal' strength. She has been working really hard in rehab to get strong enough to really enjoy herself at the wedding. I told her she needs to be able to dance at least one song with me so I think she's taking that to heart and is doing the best she can with her exercises. I let her know that people in blogger land are routing for her and that she had support from people out there she doesn't even know personally. She thought that was awesome so I just want to thank all of you for your thoughts, prayers, and kind words!
She may or may not kill me for posting this but I just wanted to show how well she is doing. Love you Mom!
Anyone out there know Kate Middleton or Prince William's cell phone # because I'm probably going to need while we are in ENGLAND so we can become best friends ;o)

Last topic....our "Engagement" pictures are in. Haha I can't help but laugh at this one...we've been "engaged" for over a year and a half but we decided to take the pictures a couple of months ago. Anyway, here a a few of my favorites:
Lots of information to process I know but a lot has happened in the past month so I felt like I needed to get it out with one big "bang".
Anyway, more to come with the Wedding plans and MOVING TO ENGLAND!!
Take Care Everyone,
Hillary
Yay! So many good things going for you right now! I am so happy to hear that your mom is doing well- I was worried since you hadn't posted in so long! You should totally dance to Carrie Underwood's "Mama's Song" at your wedding... totally cliche but I cry every time I hear it! I wish it would have been out for our wedding.
ReplyDeleteAnd CONGRATS on signing the deal in England! That is so exciting. It will be cool to be in a foreign country, but still be able to understand the language. I'm jealous! ;)
LOVE the engagement pics, too!
Mrs Fox 2B..first Im so HAPPY to hear about you mums succesful surgery! Second of all big CONGRATULATIONS of your hubby 2BS new team!!! And the third one is ...omg what nice pics of you guys:)))
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comments throughout this past month CMD...every word of encouragment helps :o)
ReplyDeleteI knew I probably had a couple of people worried but this past month has been NUTS! I'm totally going to have to YouTube or itunes search that Carrie song....I LOVE HER! I'll probably bawl my eyes out that entire day so nothing wrong with having shedding a fews tears dancing with my Mama to that song!
Thanks Mrs. K!! We are so happy for all the good news coming our way as of late. Can't wait to catch up on blogging...I feel like I haven't read a Mrs. K post in years haha
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures! And good luck getting into England! It's a hassle!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mollie! Uh Oh...any advice? When you say hassle...do you mean airport security?
ReplyDeleteCongrats! We know Corey really well. Are you guys taking advantage of their MBA program?
ReplyDeleteHey Hockey Wife! Yeah Jordan says really great things about Corey...he knew him a while back outside of hockey.
ReplyDeleteYes Jordan is finishing school....he left Merrimack after two years to play pro so he never received his undergrad. So pumped that we're going to be in Nottingham this year. Everyone we've worked with so far has been so nice and helpful!!
I've just been catching up on your recent posts - I recently started back to school so I'm behind on my blog reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm sooooo sorry to hear that your mom has been ill but glad to hear that she came through the surgery well. She looks like she's a trooper! Best wishes to her!
