Finally....An Update!

Mom has not bounced back after her 5th round of chemo. Eight days after receiving her 5th round of chemo, Mom had a headache and severe nausea. She went to the doctor, who decided to admit her to the hospital for the night to get some fluids in her system. After arriving at the hospital, she discovered that her potassium count was extremely low as well as her blood count. She received two pints of blood and some potassium. She was able to leave late the next day, just in time for Mother's Day. She felt really good after leaving the hospital. However, that enery burst did not last. Her counts remained okay, but her energy did not return. Mom has been getting alot of rest and trying to remain upbeat. We went to the lake this past weekend. She pushed herself Friday and Saturday, and by Saturday afternoon, she was wiped out. She slept all day Monday. She gets tired of sitting around the house. I can't believe that she has another round of chemo this Thursday. I just don't know how she is going to handle it. Please continue to pray for her.

    Dear Shirley,

    I am so very sorry that you have not bounced back from the last treatment........and pray that the one that you had yesterday will not be as draining for you. Just glad that you went to the hospital and received the care you needed. Hopefully, with your counts being better, this treatment you had yesterday will not be so hard for you. You are daily in our prayers and we will pray that God will give you extra strength to "fight the fight".

    I know that you do get so tired of sitting around the house. If you begin to feel stronger and want to get out for a few minutes, I am just a phone call away. And, I am here for whatever you need.

    Get the rest that you need and.... Shirley........KEEP BELIEVING. God will help you and give you His strength. We continue to pray that His Healing Power will constantly be working within you and you will always feel His Peace and His Presence.

    With much love and prayers,
    betty
