Mom has one more day of consolidation. She is expected to be discharged from the hospital Wednesday late afternoon. Mom will follow her treatments 7 days a week as an outpatient for the following 3 weeks. Mom is responding well to the Chemo treatment. She continues to happily surprise her medical team with her progress. She continues to be asystemmatic and maintains good spirits.
Despite all that is being presented to Mom, she continues to engage with others, stimulates their zest for living and maintains a happy heart. Momma Ruthie continues to focus on being a strong "Warrior" and control the "worrier" side of her personality.
This newest found way of thinking has brought an abundance of others to be by Momma Ruthie's side. It is wonderful to see the love, support and caring from so many friends, family and professional relationships pouring in since Mom's diagnosis. She is going on with AML a little over three months now. Mom has already touched so many hearts beyond her immediate circle.
Moms relationships with the Oncology Team of Doctors, Nurses, Technicians, Physical Therapist, Hospitality Services "Food" to Housekeeping have all grown to a type of friendship at Strong Memorial Hospital. Poppie is now bringing in cards and letters written to Mom from various hospital staff. The message is always expressing how much Mom has touched each individual and they each start with Mom or Grandma. Yes, Momma Ruthie continues to inspire and bring a lot of love and affection to others in the mist of fighting for herself. Our Energizer Momma Ruthie is still doing what she is meant to be doing. I am not surprised, wink.
Again, thank you for all your prayers, love and support. It has been extremely appreciated and continues to be.
Hugs and good health to you,
Karen
