Memorial Day

This Wednesday is when Mom and Dad go back up to Hopkins for the CT scan. This is her "off week" of chemo when they normally have a break from driving up there. Another cycle of treatment has been ordered though it is pending the results of the CT scan. It appears she may need that cycle since the CA-125 level isn't quite low enough...it has continued to go down though...it is at 75 right now.

Last week's treatment brought back the fatigue towards the end of the week so Mom's energy level has been low the past 4 days or so. We did get out to one of Mom and Dad's favorite restaurants in OC on Sat. night (the Marina Deck...where I had my first taste of Smith Island Cake....yummmmm), but Mom couldn't really taste the fried shrimp she got there. On Sat. morning, Dad fixed his yummy breakfast (eggs, biscuits, melted cheese, and scrapple...pretty much our Christmas breakfast), and Mom enjoyed that. Eggs have been the main food that has continued to taste good throughout all the treatments.

Mom and Dad's new plan from Mediacom includes the caller ID, and they now have new phones with the caller ID display so don't be surprised now when you call and they are already aware it is you! Also, Mom has a new e-mail address: dbwingate@mchsi.com .

THANK YOU for your faithfulness in praying for Mom and Dad as they continue on this journey!
