Beth and I took the kids over to visit Mom and Dad yesterday afternoon. My grandmother, aunt, uncle, and his wife (my aunt as well) were visiting from Lubbock.

Mom was doing okay, but you could clearly tell she was putting on a show for company. She tries really, really hard to make sure that everyone gets the impression that she is doing fine. Sometimes I wish she wouldn't do that because it becomes pretty obvious that: a) She's not doing fine, and b) It really makes her tired. But, that is the way she is.

I think overall her condition remains about the same as it has been for several weeks. I don't know if that's a good sign or bad sign, or even any kind of sign at all.

We have a doctor's appointment on Monday to discuss the results of the CT scan that Mom had on March 29th. I suspect we will be making some decisions about future treatment plans then.

I realize that the updates here have become less frequent and I wanted to make everyone aware that the reason for that is pretty simple: things aren't changing as rapidly as before. I guess we've reached some sort of plateau.

I also want to continue to express our thanks to the people from the ESC Region XI Service Center. You are amazing. The help and support that you have provided has been so important and well-received. Mom and Dad (and I) really do appreciate everything.

I am sure I will have an update after our appointment on Monday.
