Doing Well!

Mom is doing well since she got home from the hospital.  She is currently on her chemo pill, sutent, again for the second round.  One of the big downsides to this is that it causes sores in her mouth.  These sores are extremely painful and really make it difficult for her to eat or talk.  So she has been learning all about protein shakes and all the different liquids you can drink! 

She has been doing well at home and getting around beautifully!  She even went grocery shopping by herself to Wal-Mart the other day and used one of those electric carts.  The boys are extremely jealous she did not invite them along for the ride!   She has a house cleaner coming every week and I told her to send her on over here! 

Thanks for the thoughts, prayers, and support.  She loves getting cards and phone calls!  Keep them coming and thanks!

Love,
Jo

Done and Done!

Mom finished her radiation treatments for a while on Monday!  Yeah!  She is now back on her sutent (chemo pill) for the next 28 days then another break.  She is at home and feeling MUCH better!  Amazing what a few little surgery's will do!  She is getting around really well!

She made a final decision this week, that she will take a semester off from school and possibly go back in January.  This will be good healing time for her to get back to "school" shape.   We drove past the hospital the other day and the boys asked if MiMi was still in there.  I said, "No she got to go home" and Jaxson replied, "It was about time!".  I think that was her and everyone's thoughts!  Thanks for the support and prayers!
