Just back from a trip to Mom and Dad's house. Mom was in bed resting and reported to me that she wasn't feeling very well. She couldn't go into much more detail than that, however.

She's spent a good bit of time in bed this past week and does appear to not be bouncing back as we had hoped she would by taking this week off from chemotherapy treatment. It's unclear right now whether or not she will get her treatment as scheduled on Tuesday afternoon.

Dr. Aurora did say that delaying two weeks would not make any difference in the effectiveness and it seemed to me that his contention was that if Mom didn't appear to bounce back this week, that we should delay one more to give her a chance to regain some strength.

When she does get up, she is pretty weak and has trouble getting from one part of the house to another. I say "trouble", but I guess I mean it is a struggle and it tires her out.

It's now been six months + ten days since her initial hospitalization and diagnosis.

For everyone who has been thinking of Mom, thank you. For those who have been helping out, in whatever way, be it food, cards, poems, thoughts, yard mowing, or simply saying hello, it is appreciated.
