Mom is doing well and finished chemo on friday. She did well but did have a few of the side effects such as nausea and vomiting. She now has three weeks off before she has to have another round of chemo. She is resting now and is waiting for her counts to drop so they can bring them back up. She is eating more solid foods such mac and cheese and cheerios. 

Other than finishing chemo nothing is really going on. Until i know more...

The entire crew that came out to celebrate Mom's  Birthday!! Just wanted to share the picture with everyone! hugs...

Mom is doing well with the chemo but is having a few side effects- such as being tired and confused. She also looses her function in her arms after a few hours into the chemo but goes back to normal after the chemo is washed out of her system. She is back to normal by the normal. The doctor says this is normal but it is some what frustrating to mom. She is doing well and is taking one day at a time. Her chemo treatments end on Friday and recovery is the following week. Her counts are normal and probably will not drop until the weekend. OK... that is all that has changed for now. until i know more...

Mom started her second round of chemo today which consists of two different kinds. She was given pre-meds before starting chemo and she is doing well. They really help with nausea, which she does not feel at this time. She did well today but is just really really tired. 

She had a great day yesterday with all of our family in attendance for her birthday. She was able to go down to the court yard to celebrate where we had pizza and cake.  

Things are looking great and she went for a walk today to the nurses station outside her room, which was excellent and the farthest she has gone.

Had a great day and a wonderful birthday! 

She had a new pick line put into her right arm which is available when she starts chemo. She is starting chemo on monday- they have postponed the start of her treatment because this weekend is her birthday weekend and alot of people are coming up to celebrate. She is continuing to do physical therapy and she is doing better with it. She is doing a little bit better getting in and out of bed. All and all not much has changed. She is doing very well. Until i know more...

love, jess

Mom has moved to a different room, 555 (still in gibson), because there is a lift in the room to help her get up if she needs to use it. She also went down to radiology, which they looked at her leg with the blood clot. Nothing has changed with the clot- it is still the same size. The doctor also said that there is a possibility for her to start chemo this friday. It is still up in the air. 

Until i know more...

love, jess
