I spoke to Mom last night, and she sounded good. She had the latest round of radiation treatment during the afternoon, and then the first chemo treatment afterward. She said that there were two IV bags of fluid that they infused and each bag took about an hour. She might feel some side effects today, but they have many new medicines available now that weren't around 10 year's ago, so the side effects will hopefully be minimal.
Mom's best friend, Anne Tanguay, has been staying at the St. Luke's Home which is just across the parking lot from the hospital. She has been having a rough time with her dialysis lately, but is determined to visit Mom today. I guess Anne's sister DiDi is going to come and get her and have one of the doctor's sign off so that Anne can go on the visit. Anne has designs on a great escape from the whole hospital scene, but I think they both require additional care, and are getting the help they need.
We added Jen as an official contributor to the blog, so that we won't have confusion like we did the other day when a number of people thought I popped over from Michigan on Thursday to go with Mom to Faxton. Jen will be able to post under her own identity now so it will be easy to know who is who.
With tomorrow being Easter, there will be lots of people in church tomorrow, so anyone that has a church with prayer lists, please make sure that Mom is on there. Maybe it will be like at the beginning of "It's a Wonderful Life" and so many people will be praying for her that God won't know what else to do but deliver us a miracle!
Happy Easter!
Love
Craig
