Update and Visit Scheduling

Sorry for the radio silence on the blog recently. There hasn't been a whole lot of news to share with you all. My Mom is continuing to undergo chemo weekly and fight this cancer. She is having her lungs evacuated daily now, which makes her feel better but also drains her of much of the protein and calories she manages to eat.

She loves visitors, however this too can really exhaust her. It would be really wonderful if anyone planning to visit could give us a call prior to your visit and see if she's up for company. If she is, please try to keep your visits to under 30 minutes. My Mom is a true lady and would never ask anyone to leave, so I hope you will all understand and keep your visits short. That said, please don't shy away from visiting. I know she loves to see her family and friends!

As my husband heads out on a 10-day hiking trip with his family, I am looking forward to some more girl time with my Mom. Hopefully it won't result in another runaway wheelchair!

  1. Stef: Thanks so much for keeping us all up to date. This has not been an easy time for you I know, as well as for the rest of the family.

    I have been sending a card now and again, hoping your Mom enjoys them, just a tiny way of personally staying in touch as we live so far away and also dealing with Jerry's change of doctors from Nevada to Arizona.

    Give her a special hug from me ( give yourself one too!),. Love Lynn
