Round 4



Good Evening!
 Mom had a another great night last night which was good because she was so busy today. Her day started bright and early with the Pick Team coming in and putting a pick line into her right arm. What was awesome was that we (Dad, myself, and Aunt Midge) were able to watch the procedure but we had to put protective stuff on our heads and over our mouths. It was so interesting to watch. After the line was put in they brought her down for a chest x-ray to make sure that the line was in the right area, right above the heart. After the x-ray they decided to take her into radiation. At least she was able to get things done early in the morning. She then had physical therapy come in and worked with her on how to get out of bed and into a chair. So know we have a fancy new recliner in her room along with a walker. 
Also, throughout the day she had multiple multiple visitors which she was happy to see. Some visitors we had not seen for quite some time which made for some special visits. 
We also saw Dr. Aronson this afternoon and did not really give us any new information at this time except that her spine looks great from looking at the MRI taken yesterday. That piece of info is wonderful amazing news. So things are pretty much status quo on everything else.  She is now sleeping and we all hope for another great night of rest. 
Until tomorrow... love jess

  2. Dear Simmons Family, I think it is amazing that you are keeping us updated! We are grateful for the information. I know from personal experience that waiting to hear from the doctors is one of the most difficult parts of the process. Bob, you know that there are so many families who love and miss you! My neice is a youth minister in Lowell Mass and she has added you to their prayer list and also in Old Orchard. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

    With Love, Wendy, Bruce, Makeighlee and Braden Marstaller
