New Adventure and chemo # 7

Well, while I was thinking I wouldn't have much to report but just the same stuff, more "adventures" have gone on this weekend. Mama had a GREAT week. She wore me and my Aunt Judy out, and she was still going strong. We were out and about every day shopping and running errands. It was so much fun! Sunday started out good until right before we were leaving for church. She starting acting confused and not knowing what was going on. We went on to church anyway because I thought it was just something random and would pass. But the longer we were there the more confused she got. About halfway through the service Brad and I decided that we needed get her out of there. She felt like she had a fever at church, but once we got her to the house she was back to "normal" as far as temperature. We called her doctor and they told her to take her on into the ER. They checked her over and did a couple minor test but everything was fine. They just labeled it as dehydration and sent her home. We were so perturbed that they didn't give her fluids or do a CT on her. They do that on almost every moving object that goes into the ER, but not her. Just told her to drink water and go home. She was acting better, but still had some speech problems. Yesterday was better than Sunday but once she got to chemo they told her that her doctor said no chemo and go get a head CT. He didn't like the fact that they didn't do it at the hospital either. HUGE PRAISE... everything looked great... she really does have a brain up there :D. Last night she even worked on her ABC's some just to get her mind going. Today she's back at the chemo lab getting her drugs. She sounds almost normal now! She's got so much stored energy and her mouth is moving about 90 mph! Our poor ears are going to be hurtin' after today :D

Treatment #6

Having Chemo only every other week makes for better weeks :D. Last week (her off week) she felt great. She and her sister got out of the house most days for a while to run errands, go shopping, or just to get out. They didn't stay long, but it was progress from the week before. Mama had treatment yesterday and it went well. She continues to bring home her "doggy bag" with one more treatment, which they will take off tomorrow! She's had a pretty good amount of energy yesterday and today. We'll see how the rest of the week goes!
