Hello all, this is Kaelynn Guzman, Kimberly's eldest daughter, writing on the behalf of my mom to update you all. Since our family came back from Puerto Rico on December 30th, my mom had been complaining about having back pain, leg pain and a major headache. After several tests, on January 25th it came back that her cancer had spread to the brain. No one anticipated how fast our world would come to a halt after this news. Not even a week went by when on January 31st she experienced her first symptom of the brain cancer. She started hallucinating and having short term memory loss. This quickly turned into her losing the ability to walk, talk, and eat properly. On February 5th she was committed to Memorial Hermann where she stayed for two weeks. To put it simply, this period was hell. She experienced a lot of confusion and frustration due to her not being able to communicate clearly. She was in alot of pain and unable to sleep. Each day her mental state was declining, and although there was glimmers of hope as she would gain some strength and clarity at times there was still no certainty of what would happen next. On February 18th she was finally transferred to her hospital, MD Anderson, where she is currently still receiving treatment as of February 22nd. She has been moved to the palliative floor where they are making her as comfortable as she can be. At this point in time she is unresponsive and resting. The doctors have informed us that her time on earth is coming close to the end. 

As you can imagine, this is still all very hard for the family to process. Everything has happened so fast. On behalf of the family, we appreciate everyone who has reached out, prayed, visited and supported my mother and us. Please feel free to reach out to Kaelynn Guzman, Daniel Lydick or Mary Green if you have any questions or concerns or would like to send your regards. 

Thank you again to everyone. 

Love you mom.
