Purpose

It's been three months since Mama Marian was diagnosed with a brain tumor and there have been so many changes; so many updates, pieces of information here and there, etc... that it seems to make sense to take advantage of 21st century technology to keep everyone updated.  

Well, it ALSO serves to keep us a little more sane!  

Through everything, the people around us have been unbelievably supportive and, quite honestly, needed more than I think most of us would like to admit.  And, as awesome as it is to have so many friends and family calling, writing, sending well-wishes and emails, it's also sometimes overwhelming to have to share the same information again and again.  

As you can imagine, there are also a million and one things that my mom wants to do to give back, but it's getting harder and harder to do this in a way that's personal each time.  So, please excuse the formality of the blog venue, know that everything you've done and continue to do is so "utterly fabulous" (in the words of Mama Marian), and that I will do my best to keep this site up to date with information on my mom's recovery.
