Well, mom really did have lots of hair. I would say that she has about 10-15% left. However, she looks great in her new hats!! Mom is feeling really good and has tollerated the chemo very well so far.
Her blood levels are all in the normal range. The doctor commented today that by looking at her blood levels, he wouldn't guess that she is chemo patient. Her body is doing a really great job of fighting.
Mom is already starting to have favorites at the doctors office. There is one tech that draws blood that mom will be asking for in the future. He (I think his name is Randall) is a really nice guy that does a wonderful job.
An update on the afghan project at the doctors office.... Of course mom brought her crochet hook as well as some additional yarn. She was determined to fix the afghan from last week. She spent most of her time during treatment working on the afghan. When I left, she told me she wasn't sure she brought enough yarn. Not to worry, she will finish next week. It was really great to see her passion and her love of crocheting. She looked so content and comfortable working during her treatment today.
It has been just over a month since she has been back from Florida. She has spent so many hours in tests, treatments and doctors appointments. However, her spirit is one that I can't even describe; it hasn't changed one bit.
That's our Ida!!! And that is our God at work within her!! Love you all, Cindy and Anson
