Sorry it has taken so long to update! We have been very busy! Mom has been in the hospital for about a week now. She had an appointment with her oncologist who told us that her numbers were pretty low and that it would be best for her to be in the hospital. She doesn't really have much of an immune system and has had several blood transfusions. Right now her numbers have been pretty inconsistent; some go up and some go down. So, she will most likely be in the hospital until we can get those numbers up. Once everything is stable and ready to go she will wait a week until she has her next chemotherapy treatment. She is trying to get rest but it is very difficult to do in the hospital! As far as her nutrition goes she is eating a little bit more everyday, it is baby steps but she is moving forward so that is good! The doctor did feel the tumor and said he thought that it felt smaller so we were pretty excited about that! Since her immune system isn't very strong, visitors are very restricted. She is at Baylor downtown if anyone would like to send cards or something to make my mom smile! Max left for Oklahoma State on Monday, so my aunt, father and I have been taking shifts up to the hospital. We are all pretty exhausted but keep on kickin', we are on a mission to kick some cancer booty! Please continue with your prayers and thoughts we cannot have enough of them! Love to all!

Really hope things are getting better each day. Calories like milk shakes should help, enjoy being able to eat 3,000 calories a day. We are thinking about you and hope you are hanging in there. Great series to watch is mad Men, there are 3 seasons a Blockbuster. New 4th season on Sunday night AMC at 10:00. I watched the first 2 seasons when I had the flu and now I am hooked. Get ET to go get it. We say a little prayer everyday for you. Also, green tea is suppose to be very good for cancer patients. Ginger tea or ginger candy for the chemo. Take care!!! Tina & Bart
ReplyDeleteAm thinking of you and praying for you daily; know well the roller coaster of a ride you guys are on right now. We are on same type ride, and it is no fun but we forge ahead. Love you, enjoyed the visit last Sat, and am hoping we both get the desired outcome. I am a shoulder anytime you need it. Tell Mom and Dad hello for me. BAM
