Happy Mother's Day

What a beautiful day. The sun was out, and so was Mom. Although the thermometer reads 98.6, she still is running a bit of Cabin Fever. She's been cooped up inside for many days, so today she took a field trip to Granny's house. Pictured here are 4 generations: Hadley & Haden....Wendy....Virginia....Granny. 

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there from us 3 mothers here! This is (right to left) Wendy and her mother's (VA) mother (Shirley). Today was the first day in a long time Granny didn't have to pack a lunch. Instead, Mom came to her. She's been taking Mom lunch everyday since i-don't-remember-when---and I don't mean a deli sandwich or McDonald's. It's been roast and meatloaf and potato salad and homemade spaghetti. She's been eating like a southern belle!

Tomorrow Mom will go to the Cancer Center for blood work and to see Dr. Jeong. Fri-Sun (today) should be her bottom-out time. Although she gets tired pretty quick, she's feeling pretty good. This round of chemo has been nothing like the first one. Her mouth is dry, but no sores and tongue issues this time. She hasn't been too dehydrated, just tired. In a couple weeks, she'll do round 3. Dr. Jeong said he would do another bone marrow biopsy before the next round of chemo just to make sure everything is doing what it should. 

I hope everyone had a happy mother's day. And maybe we don't need to wait for mother's day to roll around every year, maybe we can hug our mama's any day of the year... because you never know what's around the next turn!
