Week 1 Update

One week down of mom's 6 week treatment plan. She had her ups and downs this week but certainly ended on a high note. She was surprised by her sorority sisters cleaning up the yard at the house. This was such a huge task, we had no idea how we were going to get it done before listing the house for sale. See the article from The Forum. Thank you AGD!!!

Mom did have to take a sick day from work after her infusion hit her hard. But after two days of rest she was ready to go again. LT and I visited mom for the weekend and got lots of cuddle time in!

More great news, my big bro is flying in tomorrow to spend a week with mom and of course meet lil LT!! We are so very excited!

Lots of people are continuing to ask how they can help and I am having a hard time answering. Some have mentioned wanting to bring supper to mom. Currently she is working 1pm - 9pm at the store and has every other weekend off. I am looking into the option of using a online site called Meal Train. I will post more info on that soon. Food is kind of a funny thing for mom. She cannot tolerate any cold, even salads are not good. She also likes lots of flavor to minimize the metallic taste in her mouth. This site allows preferences to be set up and schedules made so that it is all organized in one place. Again more to come later.

Daddy sent me this pic of LT while I was at work today. She had grown so much and is now 10 weeks! Check out how short her pants are, I guess we will have to call them capris! Sorry it's a little blurry, it's from a cell phone.

Ok, enough for now. Time to get the baby to sleep and of course momma too! You know they say to sleep when the baby sleeps!
