RE: Mom update
Just a quick update on mom -
Dad got to the hospital early enough today to actually see and talk to the
doctor (he's usually in around 7 am or earlier). The doctor said he was
VERY HAPPY with how mom is coming along. That she is doing really well
compared to how she was when they first admitted her. He's still happy she
has not had any fevers or infections - so that is good news. And he feels
her liver is doing good too - so hopefully that means the cancer never did
spread there or if it did - the chemo is working on that.
Her counts are still going up - they are waiting on the white blood cells to
go up - because those help fight off infections. They are half way there -
but the chemo does kill the good cells. he doesn't seemed to worried
because everything else is going well. It just means she'll be in the
hospital longer. but heck - if she avoids any infections there that is good
- they can handle it so quickly compared to coming home. If she came home -
we may not realize it soon enough and set her treatments back a few weeks.
Mom just wants to come home and be healthy - so she'll stay if as long as
she needs to get into remission!
her spirits were up after talking to the doctor and they are giving her
chemo sometime this morning. So that is good - hopefully she'll continue to
have little side effects.
Have a great holiday weekend everyone

Hi aunt Loretta,
Just read all of Gail and Craigs updates, mighty impressive the smarts these two have. Just imagine how smart your grandchild will be! How is the "bad to the bone" blood doing? Are your tatooed harley guys fighting a good fight for you? I hope and pray they are, I want you to keep positive thoughts and look ahead, there isn't anything behind us we ever want to look at twice!!! (I'm referring to the derrier, aka Britt Butt) Anyway, all of my men send hugs and kisses, me too. You and your family are always in our thoughts and prayers!!! Love Paula
I have been in Ft.Worth -Thurs thru Sun- to meet an old friend. We were both stationed at the base and the B36 group meets every two years. I also joined as a member. The meeting was in Shreveport(Sun thru Tues)but I could not attend because I am in the process of selling the IH 35 property. The buyer will be here tomorrow.
Keep up the good work, sounds like you are doing quite well. It will take time, but you are fortunate that modern medicine can beat this disease and you did catch it early-very important!
You are in my prayers.
Laura
