The doctors did a bone marrow biopsy on mom Monday -- this is to give us more details about the make up of the cancer in the bone marrow and what type of treatment options she has to slow down the growth of those cells. It was painless (atleast she did great!). After the treatment both of my parents came over to our house to enjoy Trick or Treating. They do this every year, so it was wonderful that they continued the tradition this year too. It was fun for them to see our kids all dressed up and so excited to go out into the neigborhood.
Then on Tuesday mom had another CT scan, this time of her pelvis area because she is experiencing some discomfort/pressure. We should find out the results to both tests on Monday when she meets with her oncologist and has her next round of chemo.
Over the weekend she had a very nice visit with her sisters Pat and Karen and her sister in law Terry. They all drove down from the Bay Area. Today some of her long-time friends arrive, Carol and Michael Galbraith and Shirely Blythe. They all drove down together from the Tahoe area. They will be here for a couple days.
Much love to you all

Hi Kathy and Amanda and all your loved ones. I continue to pray for you daily, and I appreciate the blog updates very much. I am so glad family is able to visit. God is truly our great physician, and able to do far beyond our thoughts and imaginations. I am praying for a miracle, a BIG one!! God bless each of you!

I'm happy that Kathy was up to spending Halloween with the kids. I think any kind of "normalcy" must be really refreshing to her. There's nothing like grandkids to take our minds off the problems of this world. So happy that you got to spend that special time together as a family. I pray she will continue to venture out and enjoy life. Holding you all up in prayer.
