After a day of tests and more tests and a wonderful gourmet meal shared by Greg, Stephanie, and Eric at Tommy's we reluctantly checked in to our Penthouse Suite at about 6:00 PM on Monday. After getting Mom unpacked and settled in she got her first round of Chemo and then a pretty good nights rest. Tuesday she was up bright and early and got her first round of radiation at 8:00 AM. Back in her room around 9:30, we spent the day reading our new book for the Gre-Sha Book Club, "Little Heathens." Mom reports that the food is really a step up from Eisenhower and can't wait for her next meal. She went down for her second round of radiation at 4:00 PM and back at 6:00 PM. She reports that she is feeling a lot of aches and pain, kinda like general flu symptoms, and a headache. So far these are the only side effects, YEAH! Chemo again last night at 10:00, Not Good, we're working on getting it earlier so we don't lose sleep. Back to radiation at 8:00 this morning and so it goes. 3 radiations down and 5 to go; 2 Chemo down and 3 to go. Her room number is 6227.
Yes we do

That is intense! Glad things are going pretty well though and super glad no moon-face yet. I miss you all sooooooo much and pray for you and think about you every second.
So glad that what we've been hoping can happen is now in progress. We pray for you ALWAYS!! My family keeps you in their prayers as well. We love you and hope that this week is bearable for you mom.
Dad, I really LOVE that quote--definitely something for me to work towards!! Let me know when you would like me to come and help.
WE LOVE YOU!!
P.S. what is moon-face?
I love seeing the happy pictures of Mom, smiling through it all :) What a trooper! I picture her clicking ruby slippers together and saying "There's no place like Hope! There's no place like Hope!"
We love you!
