Hanging in there!

Sorry I haven't posted for a while.  Mom is doing well.  She has had a few long days at the Infusion center where she has had to get platelets and red blood cells.  Her platelets continue to be low, and infusions are necessary about every 5 days.  Also her red blood cell level also drops, which effects her energy level and oxygen, so she gets transfusions almost weekly. 
She is still very tired and weak, but she is trying very hard to gain more strength by eating well and doing her physical therapy exercises.  She knows that the stronger she gets, the harder she can fight this disease.
I was with her this morning while Dad went to golf (we are trying to get him out once a week!) and she told me to tell you all that she feels very loved and blessed.  Her friend Dyanne who visited from Florida spent time with her reading the blog and the comments you posted. 
This Monday she will have her chemo treatment.  During the treatment they will "test" her brain fluid to determine if the cancer cells are reducing in quantity.  That measurement will take about a week.  She is also continuing with the chemo pills, which she know takes a higher dose every 3 days.  She is also taking two mineral supplements that will hopefully strengthen her bones and work on her energy level.
We are all looking forward to a blessed Thanksgiving.  We have so very much to be thankful for.  We hope you all spend time with your loved ones, enjoying the love and grace of our Lord Jesus.
