This weeks update

Aunt Linda and I brought Mom to the oncologist on Wednesday. She will go back on next week for them to read her blood work and prepare for her next infusion if the results are good. He is checking her protein levels to determine if that is the cause of the swelling in her feet. He continues to take things one month at a time. He did mention that she will be re-doing all of the scans again soon to check the spread of the cancer

I received a call from Mom yesterday. She stated that Todd and Aunt Pat had come to visit; as well as Aunt Linda. (Special thanks to A.Linda for doing Mom's laundry.) What a perfect day for a visit... Mom found out that the couple who reside in the next room - the wife passed away. The husband (Mr. John) did not make it to the hospital before she passed away. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. Everyone is saying that they do not expect him to live a long time without his wife. She has been in the hospital for several weeks and he has declined without seeing her.

Today is a remarkable day. Thanks to all for the birthday wishes. My co-workers helped me celebrate yesterday with a lunch from Mike Anderson's and a delicious chocolate on chocolate cake. YUM!! This morning, Chris took Lauren and her friend Destiny to school; so that I could have time to eat breakfast with Mom. Thanks Chris!
