Good Times

Hello, all,

Mom continues to do well.  She went to church this Sunday and really enjoyed it.  Her respiratory infection seems to have cleared up completely.  She took a great walk Sunday afternoon (and even felt a little soreness in her legs as a result-- she got a workout!).  They went to Marriage Encounter at the Schroeder's Sunday night.  And she was hanging out with us much of the day yesterday (after getting her blood work in the morning).  Sonny stayed with Grandma and Grandpa while I took Esphyr for her two year well check, and they played Sorry (several games) and ate all manner of delicious soups.  When we got back, Esphyr joined the Sorry game and decided she wanted to "stay with Gram" when I went home.  Sonny of course was in agreement.  But, since it was nap time for all involved, we went home.  :)

Yesterday evening, they paid us a quick visit at our downtown house, so Mom has really been getting out and feeling great.  And Dad is doing well, too.  They are having lots of good time together, and in between times, Dad even gets to work a little.  (haha)  He is also excited that the Chestnuts are back in action.  We've been making music again, which is fun.

Tomorrow they go to Cincinnati for a consult with Dr. Rixe, at which time they will make plans for the next phase.  She has completed her second full course of chemo, so now it will be a matter of deciding whether to repeat a similar course or try something new.  Not sure if she will be getting another MRI at this time.  I guess we will find out tomorrow.  Stay tuned!  And stay warm.

Be well,
jk
