Mom's Home

Mom got to come home on Wednesday and is doing pretty good. She is still sore but feeling ok. She is already wanting to go out to eat so that is a good sign. She and Dad go to Beckley just about every day to eat, go shopping , or go to Lowe's. She is planning on coming for Addison's birthday party Sunday if she and Dad are feeling ok. She will not start her chemo until about 3 -4 weeks. She will have 6 months of it. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes. Continue to pray for Mom and Dad. Dad will be doing his therapy for his back 2-3 times a week since Mom is home.

!!!!!Pathology Reports!!!!
As of this morning, Mom will get to come home tomorrow as long as she keeps the solid food down today. I talked with Dad about 930am and she had been ok thru the night. Pathology reports came back on the section of liver that was removed with the tumor being mets but all the margins were clear which is a good thing. This means that the tumor itself was cancer but all the surrounding tissue was not cancer. She will still need chemo for 6 months and will start it in about 3-4 weeks when she gets a little stronger. Dad forgot to ask about the lymph nodes so he will find out in the morning about that. They have started her back on the coumadin and this will take a couple of days to get back to therapeutic levels. Dad will be able to monitor this at home like he always has. So hopefully she will get home tomorrow. I know they will be glad to get back home. Mom has said over and over this past week that she WILL NOT have anything else done to her and for us not ever ask her to. She is just really tired of dealing with hospitals in general and it typically sets her back so far as strength and moving around that it takes her twice as long to bounce back. It still amazes me that all she has endured and still keeps going.
