1 more week to go

Today Mom had chemo. Next Wednesday is her last chemo treatment (this kind of chemo) and then if all goes as plans she will take a break for a few weeks, get a scan and then start on a milder chemo (maybe a pill form).

Happy V Day!

Jonas and his huge red heart! Filled with treats from class mates!

Treats for Chiyo!

Boys reading the sweet hearts messages!

Heart shaped pizza for dinner!

Gma and 3 of her sweeties!

Funny

At Chemo last Wednesday, they had to draw blood from Mom's port (to test her for the bracha gene) and the blood was not flowing easily from the port so the nurse was asking Mom to cough to make the blood flow into the vile. I said "Albert Pujols, tattoos, Jane and I getting tattoos all over our arms" and boom her blood really started to pump and filled up the vile!

HA! a little chemo/blood drawing humor for you - HA- you are welcome!

Mom & Jonas after his 9am game

Today we all cheered on Jonas at 9am and then went back to cheer on Jack at 1:00. It was a nice social visit at Jack's game seeing lots of friends (so cool to see Cindy & Nancy) and even our sweet Paige (UCSB student now but from Merced)!
This week we heard the good news that Mom's blood count looked much better. No need for a blood transfusion. 

game day, Friday

When I saw Mom up and playing Uncle Wiggily with Jeremy I knew I had a photo op for the blog! (which has become rare these days, in fact she told me a couple weeks ago that I wasn't to take photos of her) I asked Mom if she wanted me to get a hat for her or shoot her au natural and she said "oh I don't mind!" So here is Mom and Jeremy this afternoon.
After dinner, Jonas REALLY wanted us to play hearts ... so we did. I took this opportunity to work on my photography and get a little artsy with the 'hand' shots.
At the end of our card game my Aunt Erma called to see if we had watched the Laker game. Mom took the phone and replied with "yes, what do you think of Jeremy Lin...?" and went on talking about the NBA like a ESPN sportscaster! Very Fun!

I realize I have not posted lately. Sorry to alarm anyone and thank you for checking in with us.
It's been mostly the same.
Tomorrow is another Dr. appt, with the oncologist, and then her 3rd to last chemo treatment.
