It's been quite a while since I've updated everyone on Mom. Sorry for that, but I've been out of town for the last two weeks and haven't had much to add.

Today, I visited for a short time and Mom seemed to be doing about the same. She is noticeably weaker than prior "off weeks" from chemotherapy. It could be that the chemotherapy's cumulative effect is beginning to take a toll. She's not out of bed much any more, but does get up occasionally.

Tomorrow, we are scheduled to see the doctor and get another treatment. It will be interesting to see if Dr. Aurora feels that Mom can tolerate it. It would not surprise me to see him put it off for a week to see if her strength improves. Hard to say.

If I could ask those that are reading a favor: If any of you have had any experience with home health care agencies (self-pay or supplemental insurance pay) could you please drop me a note and let me know the name of the company? I have two brochures from companies that I am going to research, but if anyone has any first-hand experience, it would really help.

More updates after the doctor tomorrow.
