Mom had a good night sleep and continues to impress her Doctors, Nurses and staff. Her medical team is so pleased that Mom is NOT showing any ill effects from the Chemo treatment yet. Mom took herself on 8 long walks yesterday around the Oncology floor. Today, she has already zipped around several times. She is feeling "like herself" though tires quickly.
It is wonderful how Mom's medical support team, on the Oncology floor, relate with her and treat her. Since arriving last Tuesday, Mom has had NON-STOP staff that visit her. Yes, I mean from 5 minutes to 60 minutes. It is so heart warming to see, though Mom is submerged in her most challenging experience, her unconditional love surround each person she meets and draws him/her in towards her. Mom is still in misbelief that she carries this special gift.
Mom and I were talking about all the people she has met since the beginning of November at the hospital. It is wonderful to hear her giggle in misbelief that so many people like her, instantly feel safe with her and yearn to share their life with her. I deeply believe all the expression of affection, conversation, company, and love for Mom will be her strongest "medication" to support her through this horrifying fight for her quality of life and longevity. As we know, Lil' Ruthie is all heart and will. If anyone is to become an anomaly, it will be MOM!
New experiences continue to be presented to Mom. This morning, Mom had her very first Christmas. Many of the staff brought her holiday gifts. It is wonderful how showered Mom is by all whom meet her.
Have a Fabulous Day to all,
Karen
