Mom got her staples out Monday when she went to visit Dr. Theo, her neurosurgeon. They had a good follow up. He was glad to hear that she is going to go for a second round of chemo.
The little girls have been very alert to the removal of the hardware. When I went up Tuesday morning to check out mom's new do, Lola greeted me with: "MIMI GOT HER STAPLES OUT! MIMI GOT HER STAPLES OUT!" And when Esphyr examined the incision up close, she asked, "You took your necklace off, Grandma?"
It's healing so well and new hair is coming back in with gusto. I know she's going to lose it all again very soon, but it's still nice to see it sprouting so well.
Next up is meeting with Dr. Rixe next Wednesday to go over the exact chemo regimen. We expect her to start the treatment next weekend or thereabouts.
Much love,

We know this will be tough - but using every avenue available gives hope. We hope and trust in God's mercy and healing power. You are running a great race Rosie - we are cheering you on!!! Love to all - Howell and Dorothy
