Mom had a treatment this past Thursday. My Aunt Donna took her and sent me this picture of her getting some good sleep.....
Her port wouldn't work at first. She has never gone 4 weeks in between treatments, so her skin had grown over the opening. It's kind of like the skin on the back of your ear when you don't wear earrings. It's a flap and when the needle goes in and syringe pulls out it sucks the skin back on and then it grows until next treatment. She had to get a shot in the stomach because her white count was low :-(. Her CA125 is up, but we knew it would be. We won't know until after this next treatment if this chemo is working or not. Her magnesium was also low so she had to get a supplement for that.
So far these treatments have given her a terrible headache (he gave her a prescription for that this time), fatigued, taste is off just like before, mouth sores, stomach aches, flushed, basically all the same stuff she is sadly used to. BUT she is a champ. She has worked everyday despite how she feels.
She really is remarkable to go through all that she does with minimal complaining.

This weekend we bird-sat Piper :)! We went Thursday night and got him. He helped Kyle drive on the way home :-)......
Friday morning the kids were so excited to get to play with him before school.....
Mom came by after work Friday and stayed for a little bit. Karter really wanted to spend the night with her, so after supper & a bath we took him out there. I knew Mom wasn't feeling well, but she really wanted him to stay too. She loves her grand-babies!
She was in the bed when we got there so we just sat on the bed talking to her. Soph crawled right up next to her :).... I couldn't help but take pictures.
We waited until KyKy got there before we left :).

| KyKy sent me this picture of Kman on the ipad :). |
Saturday morning we got up and went out with Kyle while he fixed the chicken/rabbit pen from leaking. Piper loved being outside with us....
Not long after we were outside, Dad & Yana came over. We got ready, went and got Kman, and headed to Gantt for the day. We had a blast.

Kyle still loves to knee board and ski. Just so happens that after this picture I video'd him..... and watch it til the end. Perfect timing :-)!!!
Was a beautiful weekend! We were sad to send Piper back home last night, but he was oh so happy to see MeMe again. It was the sweetest thing.
