Treatment tomorrow

Like many of you, Mom and Dad were able to enjoy this first little taste of spring this weekend! Dad took the Harley out for a spin Saturday afternoon, and later Mom and Dad went out to Magnolia's for dinner (Mom likes their prime rib). They also enjoyed a stroll in their community, and Dad said Mom was taking bigger steps and picking up her pace some. These warmer days will provide more opportunities for Mom to get outside and enjoy the scenery outdoors rather than taking laps through the kitchen and around the dining room table.

Mom also got some more exercise when they were at Hocker's on Saturday. They were getting groceries that included ingredients for Strawberry Pretzel Salad. Some friends are having them over for dinner tonight, and Mom is taking her scrumptious salad over.

Tomorrow is Part 2 of her SECOND treatment. She will receive the chemo through the IV, and then next Monday she will receive it through the port. These days are very long...they leave home around 5:00am and usually get home around 8 or 9pm.

PRAISES:
~Mom's increased energy level the past few days
~warm weather for some outdoor exercise

PRAYING FOR:
~strength for Mom and Dad for tomorrow's long day at Hopkins for the 3rd treatment
~peace for Mom going into this treatment and a good night's rest tonight
