It has been awhile

A lot has happened sense I have written last. I came home and got all the kids started in school.Then I headed back with Michael and Sammie to go help my Mom again. The Meds that she started taking worked well and fast with in 1 month she had no visible signs of her cancer. She was tired still and emotionally she was still having a hard time. Yet with every day she was taking back her life. We went to all of my sisters volleyball games and some of my other sisters tennis games. Mom could not be out in the sun due to the meds making her skin very sensitive and easily sun burning. We had fun and by the last 3 weeks I was there we were walking in the morning at the track!!! She also lost all her water weight 60 pounds worth give or take, while I was there. It was amazing to see how fast it came off. It was hard for me to leave when I did but I could not be away from my family back on the home front, they needed me as well. I came home on the 6th of October and was glad to be home. I am involved in the kids school being the PTO President. Quite a big undertaking to do with 6 kids but I have a great husband that supports me in what I do. I got right to work with PTO and kids classrooms. I have been going every sense I got home. I feel that I live at the school. Life is grand!!!!


I talk to mom about everyday almost and last week she was feeling sick and nausea again and was having difficulty swallowing her pills. Then she started throwing up. I told her she needed to call her Dr. she had an appointment the middle of Nov. But she could not wait til them so she went in on Friday and the Oncologist on call did labs and CT scan. Her tumors on her liver and lungs looked good still but her lymphoid in her abdomen where big and swollen and did not look good. She also was starting to fill with fluid to which they did a parathentises where they drained almost 4 liters of fluid caused from the cancer cells growing and producing fluid. I pray that she feels better and keeps the fluid off. She goes into day to meet with her Dr. to see where they will go from here. Emotionally this is hard for everyone involved. I just pray that if she goes she goes quickly and with nothing she can not bear. The Lord is in charge and will take her when it is her time to go. I love my mother she is my best friend!!!
