Week three

Hello all!!!

Today is Thursday and mom is in week three after her first chemo treatment. She was a bit achy from her shots she had to get last week, so she didn't feel as great last Friday and Saturday. Sunday she was feeling much better. She went for her first walk by herself that day around the block. On MOnday she took Buffy for a walk twice. She is moving around a lot better.

She visited the surgeon this morning and her wound area is healing pretty well and looks much better today. She said she was sad though because she could no longer see her McDreamy surgeon again. My dad went with her to these appointments, don't worry (hahaha). She has been in great spirits.

I have been storing my Christmas Presents in my old room/mom's new craft room and she accidently let Buffy snoop through the bags where she found my puppies presents. I was excited to hear this story today because that means she is going up and down the stairs.

Mom loves music and we had a great time singing with Uncle Ron and the family on Thanksgiving. Her brother Ron asked her to help lead the last song at his Holiday Concert for his High School he teaches at. This is Uncle Ron's last year as he is retiring. Mom is really excited about this and began knitting herself a santa clause beanie. This is exciting to me because now mom is doing her crafts again.

We have had some AMAZING individuals make dinner for us and bring lunch by for mom. Thank you all so much for this, it has been a great help!

Overall I am overwhelmed with happiness that mom is moving around and doing some crafts. This Friday is the craft fair at her work. She won't be able to go, but I am going to go and help out.

She has her next chemo on Tuesday the 8th. More to report then!

Much love, Kerry (Bear)
