An Emotional Day

Mom was informed that her bone biopsy will be postponed. Her Dr. prefers to have her numbers start to climb. As you know, it is difficult for Mom to switch gears after she sets something in her mind. She understands why, but now she needs to rethink her game plan once again. Today, she is sad that she will never have her old life back being "healthy."

Mom is on day 13 with her Chemo. Her body continues to be responding very well. Her numbers are continueing to drop. Around day 20 to day 22 her numbers are expected to be at their lowest level. It is here where her numbers are expected to rise. At this point, Mom will be re-evaluated to take her off antibiotics to prevent infections. Her body at this point will be avle to fight fungal and bacteria infections on its own. Mom remains in the hopsital to be monitored.

Reece came to visit today for a good hour and half. Brian and Poppie came for a good portion of the night. They both show up every evening around dinner time. Poppie still says the hopsital food is a five star restauarnt. THey both took off around 8pm. Mom and I after walking them to the elevators took another 20 minute walk and then did some upper body exercises. I like to hang out with Mom till she falls asleep. She rests best having company into the night.

Have a great evening and a wonderful day tomorrow.

Hugs from the Baskin's
