Home

Mom was able to come home early this afternoon.  We're always happy to have her settle back in at home and she couldn't wait to get here, as well.  She finished the chemo late last night and is still feeling ok.  After the first few days of chemo she always gets a stomach ache and doesn't feel right, but other than that she's doing fine.  Over the next week or so her counts will continue to drop and she will be neutropenic.  They anticipate her counts coming up much faster this time, so we hope she isn't neutropenic for long. 

Mom is specifically asking for prayers that she doesn't get fevers from any infection or sickness.  If she gets fevers she may have to go back to the hospital for a bit because they keep very close watch on her when that happens.  Fortunately they don't anticipate problems since she went into this chemo in such good health.

We're thankful today that Mom is home, that she is cancer-free, and that we have Jesus in our hearts to guide us through every step of this journey.  Oh, and we're also thankful for all of you who care so much and pray for Mom so often.  We love you.
