Home, Week 13

Mom has had hydration every day this week too, as well as shots to increase her white count, red count, infusions of platelets, and infusions of blood. She's getting stronger now, feeling back to her somewhat normal self, but she's definitely not strong enough for chemo. She may be strong enough this next week, but as that's July 4th, if she does get chemo, it would be the following Monday.

I (well, John and I) head out for Florida for about two weeks on the 7th. It will be a whirlwind packup and move, as his doctor doesn't want him gone for too long, in case something happens. Thank goodness I have great friends out there that are willing to help me move DOWN three flights of stairs (the same friends that helped me move UP those same three flights last year), so John can just kick back and "supervise". =)

Brooke is planning her move for the weekend of the 19th, so if John and I are able to do the traveling and the move in two weeks, we'll be crossing paths like ships in the night. The good news is, if we do take a little bit longer, Mom's sister-in-law will be here to hang out and make sure she's taken care of.

That's about it for now, there's still more shots and hydrations planned for this weekend and next week, so we'll just see how long things have to go. Keep Mom in your prayers, she needs all the strength she can get to fight this cancer. God bless.
