We decided to drive to Houston, instead of flying. We didn't know how long we would be there, or if Marie would be in condition to fly home. It took two days to drive, but if was an easy trip. Good roads and weather conditions. Marie's mom was going to fly down and meet us there. We arrived in Houston on Sunday afternoon, checked into our hotel, and relaxed for the rest of the day. Marie's mom arrived on Monday. We checked out of our hotel, picked mom up at the airport, and checked into a different hotel. One that would accommodate us all in one room. Actually it was an up and down, two bedroom suite, with a full working kitchen.
My plans were to stay with Marie at the hospital, as long as she was there, while Maries's mom would take the shuttle back and forth from the hotel. Then we could all stay together when Marie was released. Good or bad, that was our plan.
Before we picked up my mother in law on Monday, Marie had appointments an MD Anderson. First up was cognizant testing with a neuro phycologist. The surgeon wanted a baseline to compare any changes that might occur from the surgery. Then we met with the surgeon to go over the procedure again. He is a good one for dotting the I's and crossing the T's. It turned out to be a long and exhausting day. The next day we would be off. No appointments. We decided a trip to Galveston, and the ocean would be in order. Staying busy would keep our minds clear. No worries. Marie's next time at MD Anderson would be to check in for brain surgery on Wednesday morning.
