March 25 - Update
After five days at Sunnybrook Hospital, Liz came home this afternoon (March, 25). She made it through brain surgery and had a smile on her face in the recovery room. It has been a tough few days for Liz's family as we come to terms with what she (and all of us) are facing. Liz has been diagnosed with a malignant, Grade 4 Glioma Multiforme brain tumour. It is at the back, left side. She will be returning to Sunnybrook in two weeks to meet with her oncology team at which point treatment options will be explored. We greatly appreciate all of love we've received from our many friends and family members. Liz knows she is surrounded by her extensive circle of supporters. We've created this blog to inform all of those who care for Liz. We ask that instead of reaching out to us directly, you refer to it for updated information

Dear Liz, Bill and family:
ReplyDeleteWe just heard the news of your surgery from Lynda Martin and are so grateful to her for letting us know. We can only imagine what this all means for you as family as you enter into the weeks and days ahead with so many decisions for treatment and all that goes with it. For you, Liz, this is such a stressful and difficult time and we want you to know we are holding you closely in our thoughts and prayers. We know your determined and hopeful spirit will see you through these days. You will be strengthened by the love and support of a very wide circle of friends that will accompany you and your family.
With much love and all good wishes,
Karen and Hal
Dear Liz
ReplyDeleteWe are overwhelmed with this very sad news, but comforted to know that you are home and "comfy" with your family surrounding you. We thank the girls for letting us know how you are doing. We feel so far away! We constantly think of you, and know you will draw strength from your family and many friends who love you so much.
"Friends and Family are the Special Angels that pick you up off the ground when your wings forget how to fly."
With lots of love and many hugs,
Brenda, Horst, Peter, Andrew and Robin
