She's OUTTA ' THERE!!!

Mom and Dad hit the road for home about noon.
They only gave her 8 hours of post hydration today so that cut their time off by 4 hours. The other thing that got them out was they asked the Dr.'s to write for all her post chemo RX's yesterday, so they were ready. Usually that's a hold up as well.

Mom is extremely fatigued, and was really battling a lot of nausea this morning. But, just before they de-acccessed her port,they gave her some anti nausea med right through the port instead of through an i.v. She said it really got the nausea under control quickly and she was so relieved to get in the car to ride home not feeling lousy.

She has to go back up to Seattle tomorrow for the nuelasta shot as it didn't work out to get care established in Centralia or Lacey before now.
They have all her info and records now, so she will see an Oncology Dr. in Centralia on August 7th and hopefully and future things like shots and radiation will be done closer to home.

Mom has a great case manager that coordinates and gets approval for things she needs and we are grateful to her for her work on making this happen.....eventually. :)

For now, she is back in Lewis County. Thank you for praying for her and Dad through round 4!!! She did it! God was faithful in giving her everything she needed to get through. Thank you again for your prayers and encouragement. It makes such a difference to her and means so much to all of us.

With much love,
Kimberly

Oh, Deva,
What a relief you were able to expedite round 4 so quickly. Your are a champion, or as I tell my friends, you are a giant in the industry. God is good!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sure Donna is jumping up and cheering about now..... Enjoy your stay at home and I hope it is as fruitful as the last stay at home. Mother turned 92 today and the kids are taking her out to her favorite Mexican restaurant to celebrate. I called her early this afternoon. Talked to Keith last eve. and their Kimberly will leave for Los Crusis to college August 17th. They are about to be hit with the empty nest syndrome and they are dreading it. They'll learn to enjoy it, ha.
You and Warren have a beautiful week and we are loving and praying for you here in Texas City.

Talked to two different people who said to be sure and tell you they are thinking about you and send their love. One was Bob Bazinet and the other was Betty (Wilson) Werner, and she and Chuck wanted you to know that even tho they don't have internet they care very much. So I'm sharing their messages.... You have so many people who care....

Hi! Ladeva, I'm so glad you are done with the 4th round of chemo, I'm praying that you will have a good rest & enjoy your time at home. We went to the Davis reunion last weekend there were many that asked about how you were doing & I'm sure will be praying for you. We had a nice two weeks with my Mom I sure wish she was closer. Take good care we love you Ed & Nancy
