Day 8 of Treatment

Mom the past three days is doing well. Her last Chemo induction was Monday. Daily her energy levels have been dropping as her overall numbers. Mom is not in any pain nor showing any adverse side effects yet. Her doctors are expecting some symptoms around day 9 or 10. They continue to be amazed with her ability to compact the Chemo.

I flew into Rochester at 1 am. Yes, Poppie picked me up and had a hot meal waiting at the house for me. What a surprise?, not. I actually called Mom and she too was having a nibble at the hospital so we chatted and then both went to bed.

Mom and I had a wonderful reunion this morning. All her staff came up to me with big hugs and welcomed me back. It felt as if I was visiting Mom at her dorm room and all her floor mates stopped in to hang out. Mom and I just finished decorating her "dorm room" with Happy New Year decorations that I brought in.

More to come to tomorrow.

Happy New Year to all,

Karen and Momma Ruthie

  1. Hi Aunt Ruthie, Uncle Seymour and family

    Just a note to let you know that we are sending hugs, kisses and more healing prayers from Wyoming. Hopefully, the temperature will get up into the double digits and stay there for awhile. The four-leggeds are not happy with zero first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
    All is well here. We wish you all a happy, healthy new year!

    Love and miss you bunches,

    Wendy, Kermit and Bri Sweeny
