We couldn't have asked for a better week for week 2 into mom's treatment! Mom had the week off from chemo to allow her white blood cells to build back up ensuring that her immune system can handle another round of treatment. She had a follow up visit this morning (Monday, Feb 13th) and her cell count remains good! Now we just need to make sure that she stays healthy so we can keep her treatments on schedule! She won't go back in for chemo treatments until the 26th of February. She will typically have 2 weeks off between treatments, but due to the holiday next week and insurance (how political can you get?), the doctor decided to hold off and give her one more week to get her body ready for another round of chemo! She did get a touch of the flu like symptoms with vomiting but we are hoping that it is related to the immune booster shot that she received last week and not the chemo itself!
Mom has her glow back! You can see it in her eyes when she smiles! It makes me so happy to see that she still has her fighting spirit! She is such an inspiration to us all! I hope that she continues to have the faith that she does and continues to fight without hesitation! She admits that it's scary- so please everyone, keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she continues this next battle...
We had a GREAT visit with Jeremy and Michelle this weekend! They came in and spent the weekend at home! We celebrated Jeremy's birthday with a late birthday dinner and had a great time- mom and dad gave him a stock certificate for the Green Bay Packers so he (along with mom and dad) are now Shareholder for the Packers! I am so jealous! It's unfortunate that Jeremy and Michelle's visit had to be so short, but they have jobs and lives that they need to get back too. Hopefully we will be able to have them up for another visit soon!
