Just a quick message to let everyone know that Beth, the kids, and I went over to Mom and Dad's this evening to share a little Christmas spirit and deliver some gifts.
Mom was tired, but looked good. She had worked hard to put on some makeup so our youngest son, Zachary, wouldn't feel uncomfortable seeing her. She didn't have to do that, but it was a nice gesture. And, it apparently worked, as Zach gave her a big hug when we were leaving. He hadn't done that in a couple of weeks. I know it made Mom happy, too.
Beth always does a great job on Mom's presents and I am so thankful for that. Mom got a Snuggie and two pairs of slippers. One to keep her feet warm and fuzzy, and one for when Mom wants to look cute. Which is most of the time.
Beth also put together some pictures of the kids for Mom and Dad to have. Those were a big hit as well.
I printed out all the comments that everyone has made on the blog and gave them to her. She was reading them, too. So be on your best behavior. I know she really appreciated all the thoughts from everyone. So thank you for that.
To date, Mom is just really tired. That's the only real side effect that she's experiencing at the moment. We are thankful for each day that she naps. And boy, does she nap. But that's a good thing and I am glad that she is getting the rest that she needs.
We should have a smooth weekend, with a visit to the oncologist for lab work upcoming on Monday.

Norma,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were able to have a nice Christmas with your family. I also had my family here -- 9 of them--and we felt so blessed to all be together. All but 2 have gone now and the house seems awfully quiet. But the old folks can use a little quiet after the storm! :-)
Hope the rest of your weekend is restful. I love hearing that you are napping! That is my favorite thing to do!
And thanks again to Mike for keeping us in the loop. Good thoughts coming your way,
Nancy
