Out of the house

Mom went to have her staples removed today. She got the royal treatment. Since she didn't need to go to Birmingham for that, they went by and had it done at Emergi-Care, a clinic run by a doctor that she worked under at DCH emergency room for many years as unit secretary. One of the nurses had told her just to come by and she'd get her back. And they did, right away. Then Dr. Bobo, the head doc, and another came in to check her out and chat to catch up. Both said to let them know if they could do ANYTHING to help her out. It is nice to have connections.

After that was done, dad took her by Hardee's for a milkshake. Yum! She said she was a bit tired, when I spoke with her around lunchtime, but it was so nice to be out of the house. Its incredible what getting out of the same four walls can do for your attitude. She sounded super!

On Thursday, she has a visit with the Pulmonary doc to check on the fluid around her lungs. And her first chemo is schedule for the 12th of October. Apparently she'll take it in a room with 3 other women... a sort of support group kind of thing so they can chat while the sit for the 2 hour treatment. I think that is such a great idea! I would appreciate if you could make her chemo a matter of prayer!
