Im Sorry, So Sorry

I have really been lagging on my blogging duties...my apologies. Life is so busy right now, weird, I know...on top of doing my mom's meds and going to a million appointments, I am also redecorating my house and my boyfriend, Michael is moving in. By the time I am done with everything for the day and sit down to blog, its like 10pm or later and I'm dozing off. Sheesh, I'm getting old!
Enough about me...let's talk about my mom...
so, lets see...we are now on day 7 of home health care and its going pretty good, aside from the two fever spikes that she has had. There isn't really much to say at this point about it...its just a wait and see period right now. the last of her Vancomycin infusions is supposed to be on the 30Th, but since she had the fevers, its looking like she may have to be on it for a bit longer. Oh well, at least shes at home.
Today she went and had the CBC/Chem Panel done and Monday is the follow up appointment to see how the WBC is doing ( this is the pop quiz portion of the blog!). If all of the counts are good, chemo starts Tuesday morning after her Vanco infusion and then continues on to Wednesday and Thursday and ending with the Nulasta shot on Friday.
Sometime during next week, my mom is also going to have the MRI to determine how the brain mets are doing. Okay, guys, this is big...so please, please cross those fingers, send healing light, pray, send positive thoughts or whatever it is that you do and did last time before the CT Scan...whatever it was that you all did then, worked...so keep it up! Please.
I will definitely let you all know what day the scan is...I promise.

I'm going to end this post on a cool note...back in July, when my mom was diagnosed, you may remember that we cut all of our hair and donated it. I wrote a nice little note about our experience and journey, I also included a photo of us. I guess that once the woman gets the wig, she will also receive the letter and photo that we sent...Pretty cool.
Well,today we got a note from Pantene:

"On behalf of Pantene Beautiful Lengths, with heartfelt appreciation, we thank you for giving so selflessly of yourself to women who are faced with hair loss from cancer treatments. Your healthy ponytail will help give self-confidence back to a special woman who is battling cancer so that she can fight the disease with a little more dignity. Your generosity is so touching and we hope that it will inspire many others to make the kindest cut of all. As you may already know, it takes roughly six ponytails to make one Pantene Beautiful Lengths wig. your donation will be joined with five others and transformed into a high quality, real hair wig by HairUWear, our campaign partner and leading global producer of real hair wigs and extensions. We are also honored to work closely with the American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society distributes Pantene Beautiful Lengths wigs, at no cost, to female cancer patients, through its extensive network of nationwide wig banks. together, we can bring some joy into the lives of women living with cancer. Kindest regards,
