Not use to asking people for help, but I really don't know what else to do.

My mother was diagnose about 2 weeks ago with lung cancer. A part of it
travelto the brain
and cause a tumor there. Last tuesday the operated and removed the tumor in
the brain.

Although the operation was a success, she is recovering slowely. It have
benn just 9 days
and she has movement of her left side but not her right. She can understand
what we are saying, but cannot speak.

The Doctors are saying her brained swelled because of the operation and it
is normally.
They also say it will just take some time to recover.

I am trying hard to keep her spirits up but I don't think is is working.

I am just glad I can shed her from negative stuff like the Hospital and
thier Insurnace questions. She was married to my dad for over 20 years, but
Tricare is slow on theball in
saying she is eligably for it. Other then that she has no insurnace as most
of us in the US
make very little money and cannot afford it. I am hoping that if Tricare
fails then maybe
the settlemt from the tobacco companies can help. Don't know ere to check
that at..

MY mother is 60 and started smoking at 20.. So she has been smoking for 40
years!
When she started there were no warning on smoking, by the time the did warn,
she like many others were HOOKED! She tried to stop and was able to cut down
to 1/2 pack a day, but I guess it was too addicting to stop all the way, not
to mention we now found out that when people started to quit smoking, the
tobacco compaines just made there product more addictive by added more stuff
to it...

Anyhow,
I was hoping if she started getting cards from people sharing a prayer or 2,
maybe that would help her get a more postive outlook?

I truely beleive that is you keep a postive faith, you can overcome
anything.

So, if it is not to much to ask can you send a card to:

Ingrid Hillery
5421 Lake Luther Rd
Lakeland FL 33809

I will make sure she gets then, by reading them to her myself!

Also, if you could email this message to freind you think have a kind heart
and would also like to send a card, please do.

Thanks,

John Hillery Jr.
