Update

I'm sorry that it's taken so long to update the page. For a while I wasn't able to log in, but it looks like we've got it all worked out now. Mom had a CT scan and bone scan and they both came back clear. So we're praising the Lord that the cancer hasn't spread. Mom started her new kind of chemo on May 4, so pray that it will be effective.

Mom did spend some time in the hospital from Saturday the 12 until Tuesday the 15th. (Happy Mother's Day!) She had a fever and felt bad, but they couldn't figure out what was wrong. They decided she had an infection and finally on Monday narrowed it down to a bladder infection. They pumped her full of drugs and her fever was down enough by Tuesday to go home. I think she was a little stir crazy! :)

My grandparents and Ben and I went up on Sunday and celebrated Mother's Day in the hospital. Mom got some pretty flowers to keep the room cheery. We were going to have a cookout and the grandparent's house but ended up having Taco Bell instead. It was good though and we had fun. I went there again Monday to keep her company and we just sat around and watched TV (and Mom slept!)

We appreciate your continued prayers and ask that you'll pray that her chemo treatments will be effective. I know Mom would really like to stay on schedule with her treatments. Thanks!

Pray

Mom got the results of a blood test yesterday and found out that the chemo up to this point hasn't been working. She will have a CT scan and bone scan on Thursday to see if the cancer has grown. Please pray that the cancer hasn't spread and that the new chemotherapy that she starts on Friday will be effective.
