3rd Treatment this Monday/Abbie & Steve Getting Married


Mom has had a relatively good couple weeks, aside from extreme fatigue accompanied by sleepless nights. She looks great and has enjoyed the moments where friends have come to visit or when Abbie & I have destroyed her house with the project of the day. She participates, often, and has been working especially hard on her apron collection. And they are fantastic! Mom has also been given a new event to focus her energy on; another wedding! Abbie and Steve got engaged August 13 and recently announced it to family & friends. They have also announced that the wedding date will be this Halloween. With only 32 days before the big day, there is much to do and Mom, being the master planner she is, has already started in on it. She will be able to take some of her planning to McCall for the next four days so she can enjoy the cool mountain air and relax before her 3rd treatment starts this Monday.

New Port

Mom has been feeling fabulous the past couple weeks and has been enjoying the fantastic Boise weather. The four of us went for a walk Wednesday morning before Mom's surgery to get a new port. The surgery was quick and successful but when we went in Thursday morning for her treatment, she had a slight infection. The recommendation was to take an antibiotic and return on Monday for the treatment. Mom was disappointed but the positive was that she would feel good for our weekend in McCall. It has been great for all four of us to be together and we're looking forward to having Olivier join us very soon. Abbie will post the new chemotherapy schedule soon.
