Play offs

Cheering Jack on in his play off basketball game!

This week both Jonas & Jack have both baseball and basketball games and practice. It's a busy (but fun) week. Tonight was the first of Jack's basketball play off games. Jack's team won (by 20 points).


Last night Mom finished reading Cutting for Stone, a 600 page book (which I LOVED TOO). Mom read it all in 4 days! This is a great indicator that she is making strides back to her pre treatment self. She has ALWAYS been a voracious reader but during the last 6 and half months of pain meds and PAIN she was not reading many books. She would read short magazine articles or emails and blogs. So it was fun to see that she couldn't put the book down!

A beautiful day to watch Jonas' baseball game

Gma & Jonas after his game!

It was a lovely afternoon game! Jonas is now in the mini minors which is a machine pitch division. He LOVES playing and it is fun to watch his JOY FILLED face during the game.

The last trip to the chemo room!

When we walked into the chemo room today Beverley, R.N., said "Zeb it's your last day of Chemo!"

 

 

 

 

 

 The nurses in that Chemo room are as nice as can be and COMPETENT TOO (as my mom likes to say!)

Oh lucky day, our dear friends, Hil & Yog, happened to be visiting the Cancer Center today just as Mom finished her treatment! We twisted their arms to join us for lunch! We couldn't have planned it any better.

When Mom was first diagnosed, Yog & Hil were huge supporters for us and they set up this blog for us!

Mom picked Tupelo Junction for the celebratory lunch! Here we are toasting, Mom is having a Mimosa!

The plan, as I understand it, will be to have a repeat PET scan in about 4 weeks. The results will be great and Mom will start on a pill form of chemo. The pill is a milder treatment than the IV/Port treatment that Mom just finished.
Her hair will start growing back in during the next few months and as you all know--she hopes it is curly hair that is beautiful and easy to manage.
Words do not express our gratitude for all of the love and support you have given us during these last 6 and 1/2 months. THANK YOU THANK YOU! Much Love!

A fabulous long weekend, comes to an end!

Face time with Jane & Kids in Canada!

Chat time with Gma

We had such a lovely weekend, it's tough to say Good Bye! We are so thankful to have spent this precious time with Sara, Luke(17) & Lucy(16) from Kansas City.

Sunny Sunday!

Luke to the rescue at the apple store! Mom bought a new iPhone and it was so helpful to have Luke here to sync all her old data to the new phone! The sales gal had never seen such a "OLD"iPhone and couldn't get over actually seeing such an OLD iPhone!

Crazy YUMMY dinner 2 nights in a row!

Snuggle and chat time on Gma's bed!

Palapa time!

A great sunny afternoon to hang out in the Palapa and chat!

Luke & Gma walking in downtown SB

Today was the MOST active Mom has been in MONTHS! She enjoyed her outing with 2 of her darling grandsons!


Mom had good news this week from her blood tests. Her red blood cells were higher (in a good way) than they have been in months. She credits this to the 'blood builder' she has been taking ( THANK YOU SYDNEY!) and she is feeling better. She is still fatigued but today she was able to go downtown and walk around a bit with Luke and Jack while Sara & Lucy went shopping! It has been a wonderful weekend with (some of) our KC family here! It's been FUN and cozy!
