Yesterday, as she was getting ready to go to Cincinnati for her first session of radiation, my mom said, "Today is my first day of healing rays." I loved that image and plan to keep it in mind throughout this marathon of treatment.
Speaking of which, the first round of radiation went quite well. Sister Natalie reported that the whole thing was over in about fifteen minutes. To our surprise, they decided to admit mom a day earlier than we had expected to hydrate her before her chemo treatment which will begin today. She will stay in the hospital tonight, tomorrow night, and possibly Sunday evening, depending on how things go.
We are all encouraged by the swift response of the medical team to her waning vision. It seemed to light a fire under everyone.
Also, Mom gets her PET scan today, as well as radiation session #2. We'll keep you posted. Thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayers. They seem to be working!!
Much love,
jk
