Hi Everyone. We are home safe and sound including baby to be. We arrived
home last nite at 1l:00p.m. and I didn’t get to bed until 2:00a.m. Then we
had to be at my son’s camp orientation at 10:00 a.m. So needless to say I’m
pooped. Monday he will starting camp full days. I’m going to go crazy with
freedom while he is gone, but I’m sure I’ll find plenty to do.
We had a nice visit with mom. Mom had some good and bad days. She is
suffering horribly with sciactica. The tumor/mass is pressing on her
sciactica nerve and she now uses a cane.
She’s encountering some problems with her rectum and vagina. It seems she
has some sort of infection that her rectum and vagina seem to be
miscommunicating with each other. She did receive her cat scan while I was
there and the tumor/mass is still there and hasn’t moved THANK YOU GOD. She
has developed gall stones but they aren’t bothering her at all. Her blood
tests are all PERFECT. We don’t know how her CEA count is yet, we should
know in a few weeks. She still hasn’t received chemo for 6 weeks now because
she had some infections to fight and also the Oncologist wanted to give mom a
break. Mom did gain 4 pounds which she needed really bad. As long as she
gains weight her doctors are really happy.
Mom says if it wasn’t for the sciactica bothering her she feels good. I took
her for acupuncture and he gave her a massage also. Mom is still drinking
the herbs. The herbs did cure 2 infections she had THANK GOD for that also.
Mom is having a barium enema on Monday because she has a fistula on the tumor
which is giving her infections also….her urine is dark brown and they want to
see if there is a fistula there. The cat scan isn’t able to see the fistula.
The only bad part of the trip was RAIN. It rained everyday we were there. My
son didn’t really get to do much we just played in the house a lot.
I had and still have a lot of morning sickness. I’m also very very tired all
the time. I didn’t have either of those while pregnant with my son. But I
did have 2 dreams while in Florida that I was having a boy.
We shall see next year what the Good Lord has in store for us.
I look forward to hearing from each of you.
I’m grateful to Aunt Nanc for keeping me informed on the telephone with all
the that went on. You are a true angel and I love you for thinking of me
and calling me. I really hold you close to heart.
I’m so so so sad at Patrick’s passing. It really affected me awful because we
got a chance to meet and HUG. I will remember his smile and heart forever.
Nisi my thoughts and prayers are with and your boys. I’m here for you
sweetheart.
Also Miss Kathy Corrigan I’m hope you are doing well. Nanc called me and told
me about you. I lost your address and I’m holding on to your card. I would
love to have you r address again so I can send you some love.
My dear Cori how I loved hearing your voice. You lifted our day up so much.
I couldn’t stop talking about you. (I’m still going ga ga over speaking with
you). I hope you have good news for me.
I missed you all and pray that you and your loved ones are feeling strong.
Lovingly,
PJ
