Hello Everyone!
There hasn't really been much to update. Mom has been home since July 2nd. She's gotten labs each week and has visited the clinic and ER a few times for blood and fevers. Her biggest issue has been the constant dry and peeling skin. It appears to be clearing up just in time for her bone marrow biopsy next week. The results of the biopsy will help the oncologist determine the next steps for her treatment.
There will be more chemo regardless of the results, which we knew from the beginning, but we just don't know what that will entail. We don't think the hospital stay will be as long, but we need to wait for the doctor's final say:)
While Mom's been out she's enjoyed some tomatoes from the garden, spent a lot of time with family, and had a chance to enjoy the day at the Hendricks County Fair watching Dominic show his pigs!
Thank you to everyone for checking in, for the well-wishes, the cards and treats, and the prayers. Our entire family is so appreciative to everyone for your care and concern.
We'll post the results next week!
I keep checking here every few days to see if there is anything new - I am sure she is just plain happy to be home.......even if there are a few ER trips..........Love ya Mar - thoughts and prayers with you
ReplyDeleteMary, glad you got to go to the fair to see Dominic show his pigs. I know you are so proud of him. All your grandkids have their uniquenesses (I think I made that up). Calvin has a blog now tht was inspired by Brad's blog. I think, even though there is a big age difference, they have a similar sense of humor. i'm praying daily for your recover. It must be awful having your legs and feet swell and your skin peel. Thanks for keeping me posted. I love you, Barbara Joy
