Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
Romans 12:12
Sorry I have not updated the blog in a while. My mom had been home since her last chemo treatment on Monday. However, we had to take her to the hospital yesterday because her neck and head pain had not subsided and felt worse. She began throwing up once she was there and finally stopped throwing up about 4 hours ago. The doctors think it is the migraine making her throw up. They did a CT scan and saw fluid around her brain. They had worries it might be some kind of infection, but it could also be from the chemo they injected into her spine causing a spinal fluid leak. Just in case it is an infection, they have hooked her up to antibiotics. Her pain is finally under control and she is sleeping.
We don't know how this will affect her next chemo treatment, but we are hoping they will postpone it until next Monday so she can be home for Christmas. Picturing Christmas without her being there is painful for all of us. Chemo is supposed to begin this Monday and it will be 2 to 4 days in the hospital. Please pray she will be home for Christmas! Thanksgiving without her was hard enough... I don't know how we will get through it!
My Nana is here again helping out with things. My aunt Debi will be coming on Christmas Eve. Bobby and Cory are coming christmas day. Hopefully having others around will help! Special thanks to my Poppop, my mom's dad for visiting last week and decorating our house for Christmas! it helped lift all our spirits.
I will try and keep the blog updated more now with upcoming treatments. Thanks to everyone!

Hi Julie!
ReplyDeleteWe are saying lots of prayers for you to be home for the holidays! The girls are so great at keeping everyone informed on your progress. We went for a walk around the old block and passed your old townhouse.
No one has ever hung back up the lights like the time you guys won the christmas light contest! lol although Pat still claims it was because he hung more than Tom. So stay strong and get home.
Lots of love
