Got to see Mom yesterday. I went up early for Chestnuts practice, and mom would whoop and holler every so often from the couch in the next room when she heard an ending or a chorus she particularly liked. She was hungry by the time we finished and helped coordinate the dinner proceedings, instructing me when to check on the roast and so on. She ate well (in installments, returning to the couch when she needed to). She really enjoyed Esphyr and Sonny when they came up to join us. Oh, and emeka, too, of course.
She is feeling quite nauseated these days, which is to be expected, but is nonetheless unpleasant. Still, we prefer "normal" side-effects to special, unusual ones! She's also been a tad forgetful, but then, who isn't? I forgot where I put my purse today and found it in the stroller where the baby should have been.
Now the game is to rest as much as possible. The next MRI/oncologist meeting is scheduled for September 29th. Keep those healing rays of good energy flowing her way in the meantime. And thanks again for everyone's kindnesses, large and small.
Much love,
jk
