Daily Status

Mom’s good days continue. The past 24-hours were just fine; some mild symptoms (a little pain, a little nausea), but nothing that was not managed efficiently. I slept over this past Wednesday and Thursday night; since I work out of the empty bedrooms upstairs, I feel like I have been “at the house” for almost 3 days straight. Last night my sister Angella took over, and I am having a quite cup of coffee in an increasingly warm house. It should hit 98 (!) today, which Mom should love as she always feels about 15 degrees cooler than the rest of us. In any event, here we are with a warm (!) and sunny Saturday morning in May, and all is as well as can be.

The last 24-hours were OK for Mom; some increased uncomfortableness, which Mom finds annoying. I’m going with green because Mom had no additional symptoms and she ate well and slept well. The at-home nurse came yesterday and disconnected the chemo, and set Mom up on some IV fluids. They will come back today for another round of IV fluids, and then we’ll head into the weekend.

The last 24 hours were pretty good for Mom. There were some symptoms, mostly mild pain, and all resolved quickly. Mom slept and ate well and spent lots of time with 2 of her granddaughters yesterday working on sweeping and scrubbing the front porch and cleaning things up out front. Lots of food and family in the house.

Mom has had a good last 24-hours. Chemo3 went off without a hitch, and Mom slept through the night with no issues. Has some increased neuropathy (mild). At-home chemo has another 24 hours. So far, so good.

Mom has had a great last 24 hours. She has been energized and enthusiastic; she made a big birthday breakfast for her granddaughter and decided she felt like she was in the movie ALIEN, so she had a movie night with Pop last night to watch that. Waiting for lab results and then off to chemo 3 today.

A good night, no pain. Update: It’s Been A Roller Coaster
