Today was a very cold day here! Ken took mom to her treatment early. I went over to mom's about 9:30 and got breakfast, g'mommie gave HR a bottle, and I got a roast in the crock pot for dinner before going to pick mom up. The West Clinic was slammed today. They had people parked all the way down the street. The first thing mom said when she got into the car was how glad she was she re-scheduled to first thing in the morning treatment.
I went with Todd to his doctor appt at noon while mom and grandmommie took Haidyn home. When I got back Haidyn was being rocked with a bottle by the Christmas tree, so she could see the lights of course, by greatgrandmommie. I don't know who will miss who more tmrw but grandmommie and Haidyn have really bonded. They talk all day and take rest periods. Grandmommie even knows her crys now so Grandmommie would let us know what Haidyn had to say:) I think we have all appreciated our time with grandmommie but none like the little spoiled one. Mom and grandmommie have spent some special time together and with Haidyn.
Ken went and picked up the family pictures tonight. Mom looked so good in the pictures. She said she feels better about her wig now that she sees how pretty it looks on her. It has been a tough time for company how mom's treatments were scheduled but atleast now Erica, Michael and Grandmommie can say they have seen the worst side effect for mom, fatigue, and we can all live with fatigue.
God has been so good to us. Mom has some of the best doctors and nurses watching over her treatments. The treatments have been fairly kind to her physically and she is ready to get some results from her treatment. We even got Grandmommie to agree to come back more often and see us, I think Haidyn made a deal with her and she may be just 10lbs but she's pretty stinkin' hard to say no to.
We are all tired and will certainly fall asleep unready to say goodbye in the morning but blessed by the time we have shared the last week.

Joan, I am so thankful that your treatments are being kind to you...and that you like your wig. It was fashionable in the late 60s and early 70s to wear wigs. I could not afford to frost my hair and keep it looking decent, so I bought a frosted wig. Some days when I wake up with bad hair or my hair needs color, I think about my old wig and wish I still had it. Be a trendsetter! I may join you. Love, Barbara Peck
