status quo

Things are going really well here in maine. The weather has been fabulous and mom is even better than that! She is moving around a lot better and is eloquent as she rises out of a chair. Wait until she reads that! haha. Really- she is doing so well. 
She has missed the last 2 scheduled chemo visits at the doctors office because her platelet counts have been to low. But not low enough to get some, therefore, she has to wait for her body to produce them. This may take some time. She has a doctors apt coming up in tuesday/wednesday where they will check her counts again. If everything goes well she will have chemo on wednesday. 
She continues to have physical therapy come into our home to work with her. She also has a nurse that visits once a week, just to check on things. Mom is very independent and does things on her own, which is wonderful! 
She is getting a little anxious sitting at home, so mom and dad have gone on little adventures almost daily. The other day they showed up at camp (where i work) and surprised me~ that made my day. And the other night we all went to the movies and dinner together, which was great fun!!! We went and saw sorcerer's apprentice, it was surprisingly really good! 
She has also started sewing again. Dad has brought up a table, her sewing machine, and crafts upstairs so she can work on things as she wants. She has her own little craft studio upstairs at home. It is great!!! 
Well, i think that is all from our neck of the woods. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the beautiful (but hot) weather. 
until i know more...
love, Jess
