Round 4!

Hi everyone.
I have spoken with Mom and they are admitted and settling in at the hospital.

They had an appointment at 3:00 to have her port accessed and a blood draw. I am sorry to say that accessing her port hurt again, although not like before the replacement.
They used a local anesthetic, but ultimately she still needed a narcotic to ease the discomfort.

They met with Dr. Rodler, her Oncologist and her PA and then they had dinner and reported to UWMC.

They are on the 6th floor SE in room 6334.
Chemo will not start for many hours as she has to have a flush of her system first and it takes the pharmacy HOURS to get the meds mixed.

Over all, things went as expected and they are doing well.
I will be going up in the morning to spend the day/evening with them and take "people" food to them. :)

Thanks for the prayers as they begin this next chapter. I hope it's a quick read this time.

Love,
Kimberly

As I was posting your name on our prayer board last night at Bible Study the Lord prompted me to tell Him THANK YOU for the healing of Ladeva. So as I hold you up in prayer this week I will be praising God for what He HAS done and what He IS doing. I KNOW that I KNOW that I KNOW that He is in control. I rejoice that round 3 had fewer problems and I am expecting and believing that round 4 is going to be a snap. People will see God's glory in this situation, and give Him the glory as they cover you in prayers.

Leavenworth sounds like so much fun. I am glad you were able to go and enjoy yourselves. Both you and Warren must be basking in the afterglow. I love that your family and friends are so supportive. You are truly a wonderful person and I am so blessed for knowing you.

Hope you are perky enough to come to that Onalaska Yearly Reunion at Carlisle Park on the 3rd. Last year was my first year going, but I really enjoyed it.

Love, Hugs and a Kiss or two for each of you. We love you.
