Treatment Started
Today completed the third day of the first 7-day cycle of IV treatments for my mother. Because this is only akin to chemotherapy, there are almost no side effects. She has been extremely tired and without energy, but we expected that. Because it is about 13 miles to the cancer center where she is being treated, this takes the biggest part of every morning, and she rests the remainder of the day. After the seventh day of IV's, there are 7 days of injections to help boost the health of her blood.
We will keep you informed of her progress and try to do so without being tedious. Thank you for praying for her.

Meet Papa and Mimi
Thank you for visiting our blog. Hope you'll come back often and we can get to know one another through the magic of cyberspace.
I never dreamed that in my lifetime this kind of communication would come about. When I was in middle school, I thought the transistor radio was a miracle of science as I listened to the broadcast of the first manned space flight on my way to school.
I'm loving this blogging and look forward to the new people I will "meet" through it. Better than a transistor radio...

That chair looked all too familiar, believe me!!!! But it does come to an end, even though I thought it wouldn't. It will soon be behind your Mom, and I trust she will begin to feel better soon after. I'm just so glad they got the diagnosis right! I'll be praying for her as she goes through this, and for you, too, Cheryl! I know those daily trips can be hard after a while!

She is so precious. <3
