Week Four-ish = Good News

Mom is doing really well, she is had a pretty good week all in all. We received great news about her blood work this week. It came back that all blood cell counts are still normal, which means she is tolerating the treatments well. Two of her radiation treatments were cancelled this week because the machine was broken. This brought Mom's spirit down a bit as she has wanted to get them over with. They will now add the missed treatments to the end of her treatment phase. None the less the missed radiation treatments couldn't get her down. Mom had a great holiday weekend. Friday Mom and I (Sandy) spent the day shopping, lunching and taking a leisurely drive down the beaches. We stocked the cabinets at her villa as Jim was preparing to leave Dallas to come home. Saturday Mom spent the day with Katie and her family shopping, chatting and going out to dinner. Mom experienced some weakness in her legs on Saturday but has seem to work through it. The weakness seems to come and go. Mom was also very excited as Jim came home Saturday night / Sunday morning from Dallas. It was a long drive but Jim said it wasn't too bad. He really only hit traffic coming through Gainesville. You would have thought to check the UF Gator's game schedule when planning a road trip. He is here and he is here or good! Mom and Jim are both very happy to have him home. Sunday the family celebrated Austin's upcoming birthday with a pool party. It was a really great time watching the kids play. Katie was crazy enough to have 7 or 8 kids spend the night as her house. We finished off the weekend with a family dinner out at a local pizza place. All in all it was a really good week. Mom is looking forward to the upcoming week to spend time with Jim and another week of treatment. Jim meets with his new boss this week and will figure out a start date and such. Wish us luck on yet another good week!
