Sunday I went to visit mom after I was done with church. It was nice. I stopped first at Giant Eagle to buy the things needed to make us grilled Rubens. I know those are one of her favorites! Then I went over to the Meadows to get her some frozen custard, again, one of her very special favorites! We are all happy that it is now open.
Uncle Dick was there for the morning and it was so nice to see him. Later in the afternoon another friend stopped by to visit. I left around 7:30 and I guess with a day full of visitors she was exhausted. SHE SLEPT ALL NIGHT!! WOW!!!! She and dad BOTH really needed that rest. Thank you Jesus!
Yesterday after radiation, she had made an appointment for a manicure. Jeannie was able to take her. After her appointment she asked Jeannie if she had any other errands that needed to be done. Jeannie told her she needed to go to Bon Ton to get a few things. Mom thought well enough to go along. She did not use the wheel chair as sitting is still very painful now due to the blisters from radiation. I guess the shopping went just fine and when they were done mom told her that a hamburger and french fries sounded good from Eat n Park! So, they went and got take-out. Mom did eat 1/2 the burger and some fries!!!! What an amazing day and HUGE milestone. Mom said it felt so good to do something normal! It made me really happy.
This is the last week of radiation! She is still feeling the side effect of chemo last week and I am sure the radiation side effects will stay for a while too. After next week, she will then need to wait about 6 wks for testing to see how the treatments have worked.
Please pray that her body continues to heal completely and that no other treatments are necessary. It is amazing how friends and family have come together during this time of Mom's journey. Although I hate how my mom has had to suffer, I am amazed as to the love and support we have.
Philippians 1:6
And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Thanks for sharing a great report!
