Miss Molly and a Brain Tumor

This is Miss Molly a 6 and a half MONTH old english mastiff that felt like crawling on my lap the other day. She's lovely but rather heavy. Other than Annie she's my favorite dog right now ... sorry Jackson, my love for you is hit or miss and completely dependent on whether my shoes have slobber on them.

I had a 30 year old woman w/ a brain tumor come in to the ER the other day. She had a H/A and ended up getting a craniotomy and most of her R frontal brain removed. She has 3 kids. It's likely cancerous but we removed a lot ... I mean a lot of brain tissue ... so hopefully she has a chance for a good 5-10 years. She was so nice and she looked really good w/ a shaved head. You could see her fear though, always there in her eyes. I took her staples out yesterday and she looked happy. I'm glad she's optimistic, that's the best way to be in this kind of situation. It makes you think about family and wonder at how lucky we all are to be healthy, how precious that is.
