Monday night clarification

ok - spoke to mom and dad tonight. The new medicine they started today is a 12 day treatment that they will put in her port (IV hook up). It is a chemo treatment - more mild than what she has been getting on MOndays. They say itshould help withher blood counts - so that is good. Unfortuantely - not sure if I can go see her for 12-13 days now. Which will SUCK. MOm and dad are going to check with the doctors - good thing for phones. Craig said he'd go and visit mom for me- what a sweet heart.

FAmily - please call mom first before you go and visit - so far she's doing very well. But with daily chemo - we are not sure how her counts will react - so we don't want any infections.

Friends and family - mom said to tell people to call her - she has had a lot of calls the last few days and enjoyed them tons. She's like people to continue to call if you can - it really perks her spirits. Just know if her throat or mouth are too sore - she may ask you to call back.

Keep the prayers going.

Wanted to say "Hi" before turning in for the night. That Gail is something else! You've raised one awesome daughter. I love hearing how mom and baby are doing as I read about your progress. As for me, I'm still teaching - we don't get out until next Thursday!!!! Just try to tell the students that they are still expected to be learning. Yea, sure!

I'm confident that this new medication will give you new strength and energy and you'll have Doug struggling to keep up. Well, I don't want to fall asleep on my students, so will talk at you again really soon.

Keep the faith, Love and hugs, Mary Lou
