An Update

Alright Kay ... here is an update. It only took 3 weeks of begging, prodding, and threatening to get me to post an update on Mom. She has been home now for three weeks now. She was home a week when she had to go back to the cardiologist. Her heart is doing great. That day she also was told that she needed to start radiation soon, so they mapped her out so she can start in another week or so. She has lesions on her scalp, right shoulder, right hip, and something on her legs. There is a chance that her hair will never come back ... good thing she looks awesome bald!! They took out her central line the next day which means she can wear real clothes now not just button up jammie shirts. She still super tired though overall feeling good mentally. She has to mostly stay in the house because she still cannot be around germs, but she has ventured out a few times for walks around the neighborhood. When she does go out she has to wear her hepa mask that blocks all of the outside germs from attacking her. Her doctor did tell her that since she grafted so quickly she her 100 day check up would actually be held around 70 days. She also said that if she wanted to try to come back to work for a few hours she can in a few weeks.

I am taking her out to a baby shower tomorrow for a bit and I hope to convince her to come to an Oscar party. Because who does not celebrate Oscar night?! :)

So Kay, there is the update! Thanks for reminding me that I needed to get that taken care of. Sometimes I just forget that people truly care about her. I love that so many of my friends, and those of hers that stalk this blog too (hey Trudy!), really try to keep up on the events of her treatment.
