"Facebook Family & Friends, an update on my mom: As most of you know, her first round of chemotherapy did not go well. Perhaps a blessing in disguise, but mom had a very bad reaction to the medicine and nearly "coded." Dr's stopped treatment immediately and waited a week to begin treatment with a different mix of the meds. Because of her severe reaction and new type of chemotherapy they are moving forward with, mom will only have 6 chemo treatments total and should be done before Christmas. Yet, this 1 chemotherapy treatment has left mom in horrible pain for the last several days. We're told this is normal, but even still, this has been extremely difficult for mom (and dad). Thankfully my brother Dan (a night owl) has been helping out by staying up late at their house, rubbing mom's feet and cooling her off with ice packs. Way to go bro.
At any rate, we still believe that mom is healed. Her blood work reading, even before starting chemo, was very good. The Dr's have told us that the treatment she is receiving now is precautionary.
Thank you all so much for your gifts, cards, notes of encouragement and financial blessings to mom and dad. I know they have meant so much to them. Please continue to lift them up in prayer as they continue on this difficult journey. And blessings to all of you."
