Sue's Update

The following is copied from an e-mail that Sue sent out a few minutes ago. It gives an overview of what is going on so far:

Just a quick overview and update, so I don't have to call everyone...

Thursday my mom, Fran, went to the doctor b/c vision out of her left eye is fuzzy and the color is distorted. The eye doctor thinks she has MS. Very scary. They schedule tests for Friday.
Friday mom had several test done and was told to come back next Wed for her results and her physician did not seemed too concerned. After her appointments she and my grandmother went shopping and my mother started loosing control and strength in her right arm and leg. The went back to the doctor before leaving town and he looked at her MRI and saw a large tumor behind her left eye that was causing the trouble. He put her in the local Greenville hospital immediately. As the evening progressed, she continued loosing more control and mobility in her right side until she couldn't move her leg at all by midnight and the doctors are very concerned at the pace at which she is deteriorating. They decided to go ahead and put her on steroids to stabalize her, which they believe worked for now. They have called Baylor and Presbyterian in Dallas and they are going to transfer her to the first hospital with a room available. More test will be done tomorrow and hopefully a specialist will be able to tell us about the tumor.
Saturday morning they are about to transfer mom to Presbyterian in Dallas and she still cannot move her leg at all. They think she is stabalized, but has still gotten worse as time passes. I am leaving for Dallas now; I will feel better when I am by her side. My brother and sister both have previous engagements today and I have finals next week, so your prayers for my family as life continues and we try to find out what is happening to my mom are appreciated. Thanks for your prayers.
