A way for family and friends of Pat Mensing to keep up with her.

Home, Week 24

Mom is feeling much better. She's back to eating normal foods and keeping them down, so this stint of nausea and mild dehydration are over. Skinny mini super model Mom is still losing weight because the quantity of food she's eating isn't what it was before the bowel obstructions started. She's lost a total of 60 pounds now. Her sister was out in the middle of last month and cut her hair again, so she's looking glamorous as ever. When I have access to my scanner, I'll put a new picture of her up. I love her laughing smile in the one that's currently up, so I'll keep that one up too. =)

Thank you all for continuing to keep up on Mom and her status. Everyone at RHI, she misses you so much and can't wait to come back. It touched me so much when we would come in and you guys would say "the blog", and everyone knew what you were talking about. Mom couldn't ask for a better company or group of co-workers.

I know I've told some of you this when we've seen you, but I want to make sure everyone knows this. Things have been kinda crazy at the house, so please don't take it personal when Mom doesn't call. Don't let it stop you from calling her, as she really enjoys talking to her loved ones, it gives her some sense of normalcy. Having it just be her and I in the house certainly isn't normal for her (or I, lol). We've been in the hospital for hydration and/or chemo on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings, so that would be an ideal time to call her cell phone.

Oh, and while I have your attention, we're looking to rent out the bedroom that Brooke moved out of. We've had it repainted, and have a twin bed available if that's needed. The ideal renter would be a single female. Mom is asking $750 a month with a $400 security deposit. That includes laundry and kitchen privileges, and she would have her own bathroom. Utilities included are water, electric, basic cable, and garbage. If you know of anyone that would be interested, please give them the home phone number (if you need that number, put a comment in and we'll give it to you).

Thank you and God Bless. =)
