Well my mom finished her second round of chemo and even returned to work afterwards, she was happy and everyone at work both employees and customers were thrilled to have her back. Everything has been going well with her blood counts, etc but she has easily been getting sick :-(
Yesterday evening she had a very high fever and after coming to the emergency room she was admitted to stay for a couple days....after reviewing some preliminary test results it appears she has pneumonia in one of her lungs. I have to admit I wanted to cry when they told us because I don't want to hear about any further complications, but I was strong and didn't shed a tear, I didn't want to worry my mom. So we're here in the hospital as she receives antibiotics to fight that....
Praying all goes well!!!

Week 1 Complete
My mom will need to have at least 6 rounds of chemo and we have completed the first round last week, 5 more to go. Her treatment will take place every 3 weeks and I'm looking forward to the improvements. I know and I have heard that with each additional treatment she could potentially feel more exhausted and more nauseous than normal so I am prepping myself mentally to know that's coming up. But for now I am taking it one day at a time and enjoying all the time I am able to spend with her and being there for anything she needs.
My aunt (her sister) was able to come see us for the week which was great for my mom to have a distraction and somethign to look forward to after leaving the hospital. Before I came back to Greensboro last night she hugged me and thanked me for everything....my mom doesn't need to thank me for anything though, that's what I'm here :-)
I didn't realize how fast each week of chemo would approach us, the next one is April 15th. But in a way that's good and I look forward to it because that allows me an entire week to spend time with her! I just ask that everyone cotinue to keep her in their prayers, I pray everyday that God will heal her and allow her to live a long healthy life.
