It's Saturday and the last day of chemo. I'm visiting Mom with David and his friend, Erick. Julie is here and Dad just went to work out. Mom is having a pretty good day. She seems very sleepy and is moving at a slow pace, but she feels ok. She's sitting up in her chair right now talking with us. She has done very well this week and has been fever free for the past couple days. Fevers are the main way they measure how she's doing, both with the chemo and with her pneumonia.
She still has her most difficult days ahead. We are on day 5 (day 1 chemo starts) and usually days 7-10 are the most challenging for her health. The doctors have been pleased with how she's handling things. We are praying that the next week goes as well as it can for her.
She's had a good amount of friends and family visit her over the past few days and this has helped her pass the time. Thanks to all of you who have sent cards or visited. It means so much to Mom.
Love you all!
