Happy Mother's Day!
« on: May 08, 2008, 01:55:54 pm »
An early greeting to all the mother's out there, doing double duty with motherhood and battling AN symptoms.  I'm a mom myself, but my 'baby' is 35 and I don't have to run after two or three or more little ones all day (except for Diego, who's my grand-dog!) AND have to deal with the AN junk.  Anyway, hats off to all you fine Moms and I hope that you have a great weekend and a wonderful Mother's Day.   :) :) :)

Hi, Sue:

If it's O.K., I'll use this thread to offer my wishes for a truly happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in our 'family', of which I know there are many.  Dealing with an acoustic neuroma (or a spouse with an AN) and taking care of children, be they toddlers or adolescents, is a tough job.  I admire those who do it.  So, to all the moms, I again say: Happy Mothers Day!   I hope it's a great one for you.  :)

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Thanks, Sue.

And a Happy Mother's Day to you and everyone else!

I may be dealing with twin adolescents and the occasional AN symptom, but I wouldn't have it any other way - at least as far as the kids are concerned.

If I had a choice, I'd have rather skipped the AN completely  ;D

Hmmm.  Don't have a mom.  Don't have a wife.  And my daughter isn't a mom yet.  So to my adopted AN family -- Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms.  And I'd like to echo Jim's comment -- I too admire all of you who are dealing with an AN yet have the fortitude and love to raise a family.

Have a great Mother's Day!

Thanks, Sue and I wish a Happy Mother's Day to all, also.  Mine are 36 and 32 and then grand kids 16,15, & 5, then the gran dogs 10 and 8 and my own two little girls (The Pug and the Mini Dachsund) 2 and 4.  A houseful and a handful!  Wouldn't have it any other way.

Happy Mother's day to all!   

Cindy - I also have two boys (22 and 25),  plus a male lab and of course my hubby, so lots of testosterone floating around my house LOL     I also wouldn't have it any other way, although someday a granddaughter might be nice  :)

And this Cheryl has 2 daughters. 30 and 32.     Plus my special granddaughters who are 15 mos and 4 1/2.    They are growing up way too fast.         
No pets now but we had lots when the girls were home.     The youngest daughter has had 2 pygmy hedgehogs which was quite the adventure.
    We now have 4 grandkitties.    Snurri and Zoey in Michigan and Stripey and Isabella in Iowa.
