Today was Mom's 2nd time back at church, and we went to breakfast at the Froghouse afterwards. Mom pushed herself to go and was pretty tired afterwards. The last two Mondays she has had treatments, and the weekends following have brought fatigue. With the fatigue, it's important for her to drink alot and get her blood pressure back up since it usually gets low.

Mom and Dad have such supportive neighbors. Their next-door neighbor continues to take care of Missy on Mom's treatment days when they're away from home for 9-12 hours. One of their neighbors has had them over for dinner a few times and this past weekend brought over a couple DVD's she'd borrowed from the library. We watched Miss Potter, the movie based on Beatrix Potter's life...she's the one who wrote the The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Dad didn't think he'd like it, but he ended up enjoying it too....and it was interesting to watch the additional footage at the end that gave more detail about Miss Potter's life.

Mom made Strawberry Pretzel Salad and Tandy Cake on Thursday so we enjoyed that over the weekend. She had purchased a jelly roll pan at Kohls with her gift card with the intent to use it to make the Tandy Cake, and she wasted no time trying it out! She seemed to enjoy the cake but didn't have much taste for the Pretzel Salad....however, she did like Dad's Shepherd's pie.

Mom's bloodwork from Thursday revealed that the number for the CA-125 blood test is down to 111. She is near the end of the 6 cycles suggested, and the number needs to be below 30. A week from tomorrow, they will have their appt. with Dr. Giuntoli, and I believe the plan is for her to have a CAT scan.

It is looking like Mom may need more than 6 cycles of treatment (the limit is 9). We know God is still at work, and we give Him all the glory for what He has done and what He will continue to do. We pray that God would continue to guide the team of doctors treating Mom. Thank you for continuing to lift up Mom in your prayers!

This afternoon, we were watching a stand-up comedy show on Fox (ya know comedians are good when they can be funny AND clean!) Anyway, this guy below is named Tim Hawkins, and he's pretty funny...we all got a kick out of him. We didn't see this video on TV today, but I found it on YouTube. (As he says, sometimes it is a bummer that Chic-Fil-A is closed on Sundays, but it IS pretty cool that they are able to give their employees that day off AND still be so successful!!!)
