Mimi's Wishing Well

It has been a few days since I wrote last because things got really busy for me the last few days. But, I am happy to tell you that Mom is doing well. She was able to get some extra rest over the weekend because she didn't have any appointments since Thursday. Tuesday she goes in for her last scheduled radiation therapy.


As you know, things have been tough these past few weeks. The radiation is causing Mom to gag up the cells that are sloughing off. And, it is taking her a long time to get food down. But, Mom is putting everything she has into healing herself by resting, drinking, and eating every two hours or so.


Today was a good day because Mom and Alicia took in a movie. Those two used to do that just about every Sunday. I am sure it felt good for Mom to get out of the house for a reason other than treatment. Alicia said they had a very nice time.


Pictured below are a couple more wonderful gifts from two very special friends.

The first is a birthday present from Mom's friend, Michelle Nielsen. Michelle brought my mom this bag from her trip to the Holy Land!  She also gave Mom two cards, one from her, and one from Mom's favorite pooch, Lucy.


The second is another "just because" gift from another very good friend, Pam Mosher. The angel figurine and the inspirational card really lifted Mom's spirits. She had such joy in her voice when she first told me about this gift.

Once again, thank you to everyone for all of the ways you are supporting Mom. We are amazed every day by your thoughtfulness.
