Mom had her LAST infusion today! So now we just need to keep her hydrated and her electrolytes balanced, and we're on a good path. We popped by her office this week, and that really perked her up. She loved seeing everyone, and looks forward to going back when she can.
We've started to clean off her cutting table so that she can get back to quilting. Her mind is so active, but her body is limiting her activities, which is frustrating, so she was reminded that there are activities that she enjoys that she can do sitting down. This will help her pass the time without exhausting herself. Excellent suggestion, thank you. =)
Her endurance is getting better, she's not napping during the day anymore, and her appetite is back to normal generally, so she's making progress. We're in the soaring recovery part, and hoping to stretch this out as long as possible. Keep the prayers, cards, and phone calls coming, Mom really appreciates all of it.

Amazing what a bad joke will do.
This is the look I get when I haven't updated the blog.
I got mine done first... and now Mom has my back.

Stories
I've seen that Mom loves to relive fun times that she's had with her family and friends. I'd love it if you would send a story or memory (or multiple stories/memories) to celebrate_pat@yahoo.com for her. Whether it's a story about the first time you met her, a funny thing that happened, any and everything you want to say, she'll love them.
Contact Information
I'm collecting contact information for Mom's family and friends. I set up a special e-mail address, celebrate_pat@yahoo.com. It'll just be used for when there's eventually a celebration of life party. Please send your name, address, phone number, and preferred e-mail address.

Pat,
When I was talking to you the other day, I was trying to discrib the quilt I just finished. Here is the web site. I did Jelly Roll Jive (pink quilt) in primary colors. As soon as I get a picture of it I will forward it to you.

Getting back to your Sewing machine sounds like a wonderful idea.
Love and prayers,
Paulette
So glad to hear all is coming along so well, Olivia! We were finally able to get on your Blog awhile ago, and have been following your Mom's progress, which has been amazing!!
To Pat: Our good, positive thoughts are with you all the time. Hope you continue to improve in health and in how you feel.
All our best, Carole, John, and current pooch, Hero
We have garden gloves, tools, and an unlimited appetite for demolition here at RHI. It was great seeing Pat at the office - and we want to see more of her! Don't want to wear her out - but a group of us want to come and pull weeds, drink ice tea and chit chat with Pat while she supervises our aphid killing super powers! Olivia - I'll call you to try & set up something not too taxing!
