First off, let me apologize to all of you faithful followers and lovers of my mom. I have really been lacking in my blogging duties. I am going to try to keep up a little better with this thing from now on.
So, my dad made it home safe and sound on Sunday and those two were just ecstatic to see each other! Too cute! He brought us all of kinds of treats, hence the title of the blog.
And, for those of you who are wondering who the brand new dad is, it's Nick...I'm getting adopted! 25 years later...but who's counting?
How freakin cool is that! Now he will really be my pops! I think it's funny and cute...who gets adopted at the ripe old age of 34? Me! That's who!
And now on to my mom...
Let's see...she had her CT Scan on Monday and we should get the results next week or the week after during the pre-chemo visit. Keep your little fingers crossed that all goes well and the scans are clean, clean, clean.
She got to go to chemo on Wednesday and she was so happy about that! Who knew, in what world would we ever be excited to go to chemo?
She also has gotten back on Decadron, which is anti-inflammatory. This is to help prevent any swelling that is caused by the scar tissue that is leftover in her brain from the old tumors. This should help with some of the motor skill issues that she has been having since the seizures.
It has just dawned on me that some of you may not know that she had 2 seizures...I cant remember if I blogged about it or not.
Well, she had two seizures...both on Friday the Thirteenths. They believe that they may have been caused by the chemo irritating the scar tissue...this is where the Decadron is going to come in relieve some of the swelling I was talking about.
Other than that, all is good in the 'hood. We are happy to have my dad back, the sun is shining, and my mom is feeling better than last week!
So, that's it in a nutshell...or a blog as the case may be.
Please keep all of that good ju-ju coming!
