Haidyn and I went over to mom's about 11 to hang out with her today so Ken could feel free to work at school. I was able to finish Haidyn's scrapbook while mom and Haidyn took a nap. Sherry brought over a scripture scrapbook that she made for mom. It was so pretty! Mom read some of the scriptures aloud; she did a great job! Patsy hadn't seen mom since her diagnosis and called while I was there. She brought over a gift for Haidyn and got a hug from mom.
About 4 mom and I went over to Susie's for her to cut mom's hair. She got a shorter do. They put the curlers in and fluffed her up before I took her home. Mom was really tired when I dropped her off. I was surprised she didn't fall asleep in the backseat with Haidyn on the 10 minute ride home :)
The treatments are really wearing mom out but she is slowly accepting her new reality and adjusting well. She enjoys the animal planet and the old shows. Today she watched murder she wrote with Haidyn- I remember watching that with mom when I was little. The lady called her about the commercial for the West Clinic that she will be participating in. Mom is excited about the shoot that will be in a couple of weeks. We are getting ready for Friday's treatment. It will be much shorter than her first and she shouldn't have the same side effects of the chemo.
I can't say thank you enough for all the kind gestures but most importantly the prayers. We are so blessed. Thank you Lord for the avenue of prayer. I know that my prayer life has increased over the last 3 weeks and I feel closer to the spirit of God. We are so blessed and continue to receive blessings daily.

Geez. I've been going to the West Clinic for eight years, and I've never been asked to be in a commerical!

ReplyDeleteWe need a photo of the "new do". On you, Joan, any or no hair would be beautiful. Emily, if the clinic will allow it, you need to put the commercial on youtube so we all can see it. I will be praying for a good day tomorrow. loveya, Barbara Peck

Joan I am thinking of you and Ken everyday, praying for good days and your strength to keep fighting. God will keep you both close to his heart. He promises and he never breaks a promise.
