Sunny Friday

Thursday:

Mom had a bit of a better day. She had nurses out in the morning and the decision had been made to give Mom her anti nausea meds through her iv and some hydration at home as well. This is great for her and will mean she does not need to go to Seattle for that. It was overwhelming to Dad at first. He has already been stretched beyond his imagination, but this was crazy. However, he did an AWESOME job and as of this morning (Friday) was very confident. He is doing a great job and it makes such a difference to not have to load up and drive to Seattle and sit in a waiting room with a suppressed immune system. We are grateful for every single thing she can do from home. This started with a Mom's "case manager". She is a liaison between the insurance and the patient to coordinate the best care for Mom and does ultimately save the insurance money vs it happening in the hospital. It is a win/win. I never knew there were case managers, so for everyone else out there that didn't know about them either, now you do. It's a good thing. We are so grateful for these folks.
Mom slept pretty well last night and I got to bunk with her. Dad slept in the guest room so I am hoping he feels better today.
Mom goes back up to UWMC Wednesday for the surgical filter removal, then back in the hospital Thursday for the chemo to start again. Please pray for her as she is beyond dreading this and has a bit of anxiety if she thinks about it.
Thank you for your prayer and words of encouragement.
We continue to be grateful for each of you.

With love and appreciation,
Kimberly
