Ok - its being posted this morning - but here is yesterday's update. Melissa is here visiting mom and the family - we are so greatful for her company. She's been helping dad with a few things at the house and giving us all support and love. Both Melissa and dad were able to get out of bed early Wednesday to be at the hospital to see mom's doctor in the morning. AT this time, he says that she has 3 more chemo treatments - one each Friday. He is not ready to let her go home this weekend as all the nurses and assistant were telling mom earlier this week. Maybe after next weeks chemo. As much as we want mom to come home - we are all afraid for her to have any set backs what so ever and catch an infection. The doctor seems to feel the same. After the next 3 weeks - she may have 1 week off and then an intense chemo treatment - 5 days of treatment. Just not sure if tehre is a week off in between. Somewhere around the same time they will also take another bone marrow sample to see where we are at with the cancer.
Please continue to keep mom in your prayers and thoughts. The medicine she gets each day really knocks her out. She enjoys phone calls, but please do not get hurt if she doesn't answer the phone. Leave a message - she will know you called. HOwever, she can not make outgoing calls.
Also - when she comes home in the next week or so - the visits will again need to be VERY limited to family only. We need to be extra careful at home to eliminate any infections. FAmily - if you plan to visit mom on the weekend, please give dad a call to see how she's doing first. We don't want to overload her with too many visitors in one day. I know we all plan on being up there one day to have take out dinner with her and to celebrate dad's birthday with her.
