Mom continues to impress her medical team. She is maintaining her strength, energy, and focus on fighting her leukemia. Mom is not showing any symptoms from her Chemo induction yet. :) She is taking advantage of feeling well. She is eating every meal and then some, walking many times in the day and is exercising her upper and lower body. She wants to maintain her present muscle tone to help herself fight the Chemo treatment. Yes, Mom still incredibly self motivated to get into remission.
Everyday, since being admitted last Tuesday, Brian and Poppie visit for hours to keep Mom company. They are so touched, though not surprised, too how many of her medical team and other medical professionals visit her daily. Mom so enjoys the visits, the conversations and getting to know others.
She has one more induction to go. She and all of us pray her symptoms are not impacting on her in the days to follow. I am flying back to Rochester this Tuesday, December 29th, to again assist with Mom during the next 3-4 weeks post Chemo induction. Sadly Kimmy will not be able to join me on this trip. We are both happy that I will be home to celebrate with Mom and Poppie to bring in the New Year.
I will post again if anything changes for Mom. Other from that I will post again after I arrive in Rochester.
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year,
Karen
