Saturday - Last night of chemo

Yesterday Kim was up with Mama and Daddy. I so appreciate her. She takes such good care of both Mama and Daddy and is so patient with me calling in for updates. Our precious friends, Greg and Lucia, were also up to visit in the hospital yesterday. They brought a special blessing from our church family. It was a sweet surprise for my parents. Greg, Lucia and our whole church family have been so supportive. There are not enough words to express our gratitude. We love you guys!

Mama will be finishing her last round of chemo late tonight. Followed by an 8 hour IV flush. So this means she will be coming home tomorrow. Her headache is gone, but is having some bouts with nausea. They are trying to stay on top of the anti-nausea medications to keep it under control. Troy, Maria and the kids were up visiting today. Mama is really weak and tired, so she had to take a few naps while they were there. But she said the little ones were very well behaved while being couped up in her room for so long. Those babies are good medicine any ole day and they helped to lift to her spirits.

Monday, Daddy will take Mama to Lacey to get her Neulasta shot and then she will be able to rest at home and start her road to recovery. Her immune system has took quite the hit, so it will be a little while before she will start regaining her strength.

Thank you to everyone who has faithfully prayed for Mama during this last dreaded chemo. We appreciate each prayer. Thank you also for your calls, blog postings and cards of encouragement. We are so blessed to have you in our lives.

With love,
Carmen
