Congrates to Beau on that monster he kilt!!!! That was ALOT of grinding!!! some fine suppers from it to!! I hate that bow busted on Will......I love homemade ice cream!!!!

Mark, it is pretty difficult to achieve that "balance" the Drs seek with your Mom. Every day her levels change, which makes her meds/chemo fluctuate as well. The chemo is a deadly poison, and tho they can make very good "guesstamates" (from previous cases) they can't know exactly how your Mom's levels and condition will be, until it's happening. Everything helps them adjust as well as re-diagnose over and over, tweeking it. The bad thing is during the process, with her WBC's almost nil, she's very susceptible to any and all infections going around. And she'll have nothing to fight them with. If they don't have her in reverse isolation already, at least attempt to screen and encourage anyone with a cold/flu/"just feeling poorly" not to come by, maybe just call or slip her a sweet card in the mail. Most folks understand completely this precaution. If you don't wanna handle this....put your sweet bulldog onto it! Miss Joanie will get it done YESTERDAY!!!! And might help Joanie to be busy with it as well. I believe you are doing exactly what you need to do to survive going thru this. Please kiss and hug your Mom for me when next you see her. And know my prayers, thoughts and heart goes with you and the family.
Tomi
