Mom's first full day home from the hospital went very smooth. She was up and around, had it together mentally, and went about her business without any real issue.
Dad and I took her over to her radiation treatment and that went very well. She walked in and back out when she was done and did great. Okay, she's not walking alone, of course. Dad and I were right there.
We now have some meals arranged with some of Mom's friends from ESC Region XI and we are very thankful for that.
Also, thanks to our friends Kathy and Pat for providing a meal tonight. I know my folks enjoyed it.
Tomorrow, Beth and the kids and I are going to put up a small Christmas tree and have dinner over there. Mom is missing seeing her grandkids, and being Super Grammy. I told her not to worry about the Super Grammy part, but I figure she'll still try and do something with them if she's up to it. The kids want to see her, too. They know she's sick, and that she has cancer. But they know she's trying to get better and they miss her. It should be a nice time.

Mike,
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us so well-informed about your mom. I can hear a bit of her “voice” in your writing Please tell Norma that we miss her terribly around here at the ESC. I think of her so often, especially as I’m walking out to my car after work by myself (instead of with Norma). I look forward to the time we can talk on the phone, communicate through email, or visit in person. Hope that is soon. My prayers for Norma and your entire family continue daily. Please give your mom a big hug from me.
Thanks, Karin Horn
Every good day is a blessing. As a grandmother and great-grandmother I can attest to the fact that seeing the kids is great therapy and the Christmas tree will be a nice touch. We continue to pray for all of you and hope that the good days will continue. Give her a hug from me!
