No Good Way to Say This
Judy's mother has a urinary tract infection, all right, but that's the good news. She also has a brain tumor, which overwhelmingly like to be malignant. She's 95, so I doubt that the doctors will recommend aggressive treatment. We got very little sleep last night, and I'm not sure how much more of this kind of news we can handle. Sorry to burden you with it, but your good thoughts and prayers will be much appreciated, as usual. Don't know how much blogging I'll get done. I'm not much in the mood, and we'll be at the hospital a lot for a while, I'm sure. Not to mention Judy's own appointments. Thanks for sticking by us.

There's very little justice; sometimes there's mercy. Judy and her mother are very lucky to have you to depend upon, and I suspect you them. May you all have better times, as much as possible, going forward. Thanks for letting us know, and sorry for all this.
Well, hell. There's no good time to get news like this, but Christmastime seems particularly cruel.
Don't worry about the blog, Bill, you look after your own. And best of luck to all of you.
Oh, and don't forget to look after yourself, Bill. It helps no one to wreck your own health.
You and yours are in our thoughts and prayers.
Some years are just excruciating, aren't they? I wish I believed in the saying, God never gives you more than you can handle but I don't. Best as always.
Sorry to hear that, Bill (and Judy). 95 is an astonishing age to live to and let's hope she's not done yet.
Good luck.

Bill, do what you gotta do. I've been through this with one parent already, and the aftermath of the other.
The gators will be here when you get back.
You're all in my thoughts and prayers.
My grandmother died of a brain tumor at age 89. You'd think that after her long, happy life, it would have been easy to say goodbye, but it wasn't.
Fortunately she lived to see my wife and son (my only child at the time), and to get to know them before her illness progressed too far.
We're so sorry to hear about this, Bill. Hang in there, and let me echo what others have said about taking care of yourself, too. You'll all be in our thoughts and prayers.
Sorry to hear this news, Bill. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
Aw, gee whiz Bill I'm sorry to hear that. I'll be keeping all of you in my thoughts.
Sorry to hear this, and especially sorry that Judy has to bear this sorrow along with her own problems. Hang in there.
My thoughts are with you and yours, Bill.
Sorry to hear that. Don't worry about the blog. We'll be here when you get back. In the meantime, I'll be thinking about you and sending good thoughts your way.
Yet another chance for us to pray for you and your family, Bill. I know that Judy is feeling the crunch of this blow.
I pray for health and peace of mind for you all.
Take care of what's important, as I'm sure you will. And know that there are a lot of us, even lurkers like myself, pulling for you and yours on this.
Be well and take care of yourself.
You guys are too kind. We talked to the doctor today, and we'll meet with the oncologist on Friday, probably, after a few more tests. Then will come the tough decisions.
I'm so sorry to hear this. You and Judy, her mom and all your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Hang in there, Tex.
So sorry to hear about Judy's mom. We'll be keeping you and your family in our prayers.
Blessings,
Mary Ann
My thoughts and prayers are certainly with you and your family. I'm so sorry.
Hi Bill,
I'm so sorry to hear this news. Hang in there--a lot of people are thinking of you and Judy and your family. Keep us posted as much as you can, but we understand if you can't.

Echoing the choir, Bill - my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Very sorry to hear this, Bill. Keeping you all in my prayers. Lonnie
I'm very sorry, Bill.
Sorry to hear about this, Bill. Warmest greetings to all!
