Yes we do. Thursdays are usually happy, healthy days because it's the day before chemo starts, and mom MUST feel good on Thursdays. Maybe it's a catch-22, but we'll take healthy days when we can get them. Mom's voice sounds a bit scratchy. She has mouth sores now, but she acts like it's no big deal. I have a feeling they're not very fun...
We're thankful to have a good, strong day today. It makes us feel a little less anxious about her next treatment. She goes in tomorrow morning for her erbutux (the treatment that takes about 5 or 6 hours to administer). She won't need the pump with the additional chemo this week. We'll see what that means for her health next week.
We made spaghetti, ham and bean soup, and chicken enchiladas today to prepare for next week and get through the weekend. Go mom!

Mouth sores are not fun! Jan, you are so very brave. I agree, we will take even one healthy day and be so grateful. Ron, we know she is in good hands. Kellie, thanks always for the day to day updates. It means alot to us.
Jan, our family is praying for you. Much love, Rebecca and Bryce
mom--you know how you about popped a vein in your forehead "pushing" for me when i was in labor...and how you sounded like you were going to pass out from breathing and straining while you were on boat "swimming" for chris when he swam the channel? well, i'm tense and holding my breath and trying to brace myself and be strong for chemo to start again tomorrow.
praying and praying for you! sure love you!
Remember hearing about a combo of benadyl and maalox to swish in your mouth for the sores; you may of tried it!
Glad Thursday was good! Thanks again for the updates!
Love you so and praying hard!
The Thomson Family
