Hi everyone, it's Bre. I just arrived in Chicago and will be here with Mary through Friday. It was so great to walk into Mary's room and see her face. She looks great and is in good spirits.
Sue and Amy spent the day here with her. As I was walking in, the final bag of Chemo was being taken out of the room!! What a great sight. They say that it should take 3-4 days for all of the Chemo to get through her system. We pray that some of the side affects will leave right along with it.
We pray that Mary can start to rest better and that she gets stronger and stronger throughout the next week. I am grateful to be here. We are off to bed and will update everyone in the morning. Nite!
hi bre, glad you made it, with or without your bag! What the heck is a hotbiggityblog??? Cause I'm pretty sure that wasn't there before. Anyway, tell Mary hi, and that she better walk 2 miles today!!!

you're as in you are, not your, Amy. Who let you educate America's youth?! :) Hope today is a good day, Mary, filled with as much People's Court as you can get!

What I have heard about the side effects of chemo is that they're worse than the disease! As these side effects set in, we are praying for God's mercy and comfort for you, Mary. We are also praying for strength for your family and the nurses and doctors who are caring for you.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Chapter one (chemo) is over. Hopefully, Chapter 2 (side effects) will be over quickly, too. Mary, it won't be long and you'll be through this book(AML) and in the midst of the next book (complete health)!! We love you! And especially miss you on Wednesdays. We will all be praying for you.
ReplyDeleteOn another note....seriously, Peoples Court? ha.
Hi Mary and Bre, Eddie and I will be on the morning train from Normal. We'll be arriving in Chicago around 10:00. We'll see you Thurs. morning. Love, Patti
ReplyDeleteYay for finishing chemo!! Sounds like you are getting lots of lots of great company!! Hey, is Matlock on anymore? That was the best mystery show! (I know, I'm a dork.) We got our 2 miles in today for you, Mary! You did too, right? :) Love ya and good night.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Mary!! I said my Sunday Mass for you that todays test will be successful. I just got back from workout at Nautilus and can't wait 'till you can work out w/us and not teach--just be a part of our group and then we can go to Jeramiah Joe's for coffee--you will be with us soon!!
