Home, Week 10.?

I'm not sure how the pattern of nausea will go with this chemo, it's a little too early to tell. Mom would have been fine on Friday if we had been on the anti-nausea meds right away, and she was fine yesterday. We had some family visitors, so there was some excitement going on, and she was a little slow to start today, and has been blah and a little nauseous (not throwing up) today. So the pattern may be two days after chemo, she feels icky. If that's the case, then we'll adjust the chemo schedule accordingly.

We're getting the house tented (counts the days) next Monday for termites. It'll be easier to get this over and done with now, that way Mom can move on to the rest of her plans with the house. We'll all be required to stay out of the house for 2.5 days, but Mom will be staying out of the house for 4.5 days, just as a precaution. The gas they're using won't leave a residue or linger at all, we just need to either move out or properly seal up any food or things that go in our mouths (toothbrushes), as well as the house plants. Things are already set up for all of this to take place, and we all have places for us and the food/plants to go while we're out of the house, but I figured this would save Mom from telling everyone she talks to about the house. =)

My friend John has been a HUGE help through all of this. He's helping Brooke and Mom get Brooke packed up and organized so she can make her move, he's been taking care of things around the house that need to be done, and he's been a huge support system for me since we've been out here (middle of December, can you believe it?), and now for Mom. He gives great hugs. :D

Keep Mom in your prayers, the strength of all your prayers has been a total blessing, and she's felt the love and received strength from them, so thank you, and God bless you.
