Gleaning Facebook: Mother's Health

Thanks to my sister Jan for these kind words. I wanted to save this primarily as a record of Mother's health. See Joan's comment below.

My talented brother, Terrell Shaw, and his talented wife Sheila Matthews Shaw and their two daughters very talented Brannon Shaw and Lillian Shaw. They are taking wonderful care of our mother, enabling her to live in her home (along with two Rome sisters, Joan Shaw Turrentine and Deborah Shaw Lewis).

Hope your mother is doing well.

Joan Shaw Turrentine
I guess she's doing as well as can be expected, Char. She had lumpectomies for very small and contained breast cancers in 2009 and then continued her very active lifestyle. Then this past June, she started having severe leg pain and became unable to walk. The breast cancer has metastasized to her bones - with patches in her spine and her right knee. Since then we've completed a course of radiation, but she still remains pretty-much housebound and tethered to numerous doctor's visits and treatments. She'll be 94 on the 19th of this month. Her forced inactivity is difficult for her and for us, but we're getting by and enjoying quite a bit of time together. I will appreciate your prayers on our behalf as we handle this difficult time. Love to you and Bob!
