We're back...

Sorry it's been so long since an update. Mom had her last treatment with the first round of drugs two weeks ago and she did not get sick!! Her white blood count was pretty high so they did not give her the immune booster shot, so were not sure if that is why she was not sick, but we praised the Lord that she wasn't.

Maybe she should have had the shot though....She went in yesterday to have her first round of chemo with the second set of drugs -12 weeks straight. Her white blood count was too low and she couldn't start. We're hoping next week she can. She's feeling pretty well and is not to disappointed that she couldn't start, her only comment was that it will just go a week longer now.

Since I'm the one updating, I guess I can add side notes:) She is now a GREAT grandma again. Check out janelgerber.blogspot.com if you want to see some adorable pictures of her GREAT grandchildren (my grandchildren!!)

Thanks again for all your prayers! For those of you that offered food, we're hoping we don't need to take you up on it as the doctors have told mom that she shouldn't get very sick with this round of chemo - we're hoping he's right, but we haven't forgotten your kind offers!
