Home, Week 11

Mom had chemo today, just the one drug that shouldn't make her nauseous. She hasn't been feeling too good this week, and she's dehydrated, so she'll be going for hydration for the next five days, as of now. Once the house is settled back down from being tented, we can get started on the things the nutritionist recommended, and that should hopefully keep her from getting dehydrated.

John (my boyfriend that came out here with me), shattered three bones in his ankle today while running in flip flops after his dog. He gets to have surgery next Thursday so pins and plates can be installed, and I've convinced him (wasn't too hard) that it would be easier to have him stay at the house with Mom and I while he's recovering. We'll be burning the flip flops in effigy, and I'll be doing any and all driving for him (it was his right ankle) until he's recovered.

Everything happens for a reason, and I keep praying for serenity and strength for me, and for relief for Mom. Time for me to go take care of my other patient now (just call me Nurse Liv *smiles*), so until next week, or the next drama, God bless.
