Chemo Round Two.

I apologize for the wait time in between posts! Last Monday mom had her second round of chemotherapy. Yesterday she had her check up with the oncologist who made the decision to admit her once again into the hospital. This is going to be pretty routine after every chemo therapy from now on. It provides the opportunity to regain an immune system, get her numbers back up, and try to keep her rested so she can gain her strength back. Last night was her first night in the hospital since the second round, however today she is doing much better since the two transfusions she had last night. Her labs were looking pretty good today and we are thinking that she will not have to be in the hospital as long as she did the last time (which was about 10 days). Hopefully this time it will just be a few days to get her numbers back up and strength to return home. Visitors are to be limited for the first few days just as a precaution from illness and also to try to keep her rested, she is very weak right now and needs as much peace and quiet as possible. We cannot thank everyone enough for the gift cards that were dropped off the past few weeks. So far those have worked out great and it is nice for mom to have so many choices! Thank you so much! As we continue to battle with this cancer we feel so thankful to have such wonderful people in our lives who constantly support and pray for us. We are so lucky.
