This past Sunday was Mom's birthday and Krista was able to spend the whole day with her. The rest of us were stuck in our homes because of the ice storm. Dad was able to spend the day with Alex, the boys and me. We had a nice day playing games, watched a sermon and relaxed. Thankfully the weather let up enough for all of us to make it to the hospital to spend the evening with Mom. On Monday she was still feeling well enough to go for a walk through the hospital with Tanya and myself. We grabbed a delicious lunch and we ate together in her room. Last night she had a great visit with John and Amanda, Jackie and Dad.
This morning she started a new drug, which caused a fair amount of nausea, and she is still battling a bad headache. This is the first day where she is really feeling the effects of the chemo and the other drugs. According to the nurse all the side effects she is feeling are expected.
Mom wants to thank everyone for all the lovely messages, phone calls, Facebook posts and Facebook messages. She feels bad for not replying to all your messages, but we told her everyone fully understands!
From here on out we ask that you contact either myself (Megan) or Tanya if you wish to visit with her. Starting tomorrow she will be in full isolation so anyone visiting must not be sick! Each day she is feeling different so we are taking it day by day.
It is hard to see the treatment beginning to take its toll, but we take much comfort in knowing she is in the Lord's care. Thank you again for your continued prayers.
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God." Isaiah 41:10
Thanks again for your updates Megan...we continue to pray for your Mom. Praying our Father will bless the treatments and restore her health.
