I asked Mom what she would like me to write to you all, and she said to tell you that she is counting all of her blessings and grateful for every new day.
She is still sounding great and went for another long walk this morning. Her knee replacement knee is moving really well, which is great news. She has fretted and worried that she wasn't getting enough movement in it due to all the bed rest. This is a huge relief to her, and Dad said she could have lapped me if I had been there this morning. :)
She is not sleeping at night as they are giving her a steroid shot at around 10Pm. It is a drug she has to have just before the Ifosfomide, and as it is due around 11PM. It makes her wired and keeps her awake all night. She will most likely nap on and off all day as she did yesterday.
This evening they will watch fireworks from the 6th floor over Lake Washington. One of the nurses said she would find them an empty room with a great view. If there isn't one, they can go to several different locations in the hospital to watch the celebration.
She should be getting out Saturday afternoon, so they are counting down the hours instead of days.
Chris came by yesterday.(Sarcoma survivor and med student) He gave Mom and Dad his cell number and told her to call him the next time she was back for round 4.
He said there is only about 300 sarcoma orthopaedic Dr.'s worldwide, and only 150 in the states. about 33 of them have done their training under Dr. Conrad.(Mom's Dr.)
It is a field they really need more Dr.'s in and to train under Dr. Conrad is a big deal. We feel so blessed to have Mom as his patient.
We wish you all a happy and blessed 4th. Be safe and happy!
Love from our family to yours,
Kimberly

Deva,
You are one of my biggest blessings. What a miraculous week you have had. You'll be going home tomorrow. That's great. I'm so thankful this roung has been a little less painful and irritating than the last two. Way to go. You've almost got this chemo thing mastered! Better days lie ahead. It's so nice to see you have next week to enjoy the little things in life, and give thanks for your blessings. You are a lady of grace and you truly are a beautiful person. Surround yourself with good people and good things will happen to and for you.
I love you very much, Deva. We can hardly wait til you can come see us and we can compare knee surgeries,ha. Glad you are doing ok with the knee. Walking is good.
Happy 4th Dahlins
