Hi everyone. It used to be so easy to write during the day, but I feel like we've been pretty busy around here lately and it's easier to just update once at the end of the day.. but for now, since i have the time.. here's a little update.
mom's feeling pretty good today.. all of the test results that have come back are great.. still waiting on a few. We started early again, this morning with knocking on the door, tests, Dr's and nurses in and out.. mom thought I told them all off and asked them not to come back until after 9am. She couldn't actually believe it was just a dream.. she's a bit spunky today!!
She's started losing her hair.. not in clumps or anything, just thinning all over.. and i guess it's good news.. that means the chemo is working and that's what the doctors like to see.. bald patients.. it isn't bothering mom at all.. she's already wondering if she can tape some bangs into her hats, though.. i think it's a little weird, but what ever she wants.. I did find some hats online that have a "halo" of hair around the edge.. still sounds weird to me.. she thought she was the first one to think of that.. so she was disappointed that she won't be making millions on her idea (kind of like when she said to all of us.. you know what.. Dawn detergent should try to wash animals from the oil spill in their detergent and make a commercial out of it!! and we said.. like the one that's on tv? she couldn't believe they thought of it first!!)
we are hopefully going to get a shower for mom today, she's been on bed rest, but she got the OK to sit up in the chair and in the shower.. good news for the rest of us! no, just kidding... she looks just beautiful everyday! she even asked if she should put some blue eye shadow on today.. i mean, she keeps her lipstick close by at all times so why not eye shadow?
We have a few more tests to hear results on, so I'll be sure to update later when I get more information! I'm also going to check out some wigs for mom.. maybe another fashion show is in store!!
I want to share a little story that Andrea shared with us.. it made my heart smile, and it allowed me to take things into perspective and remember that I control my attitude....
A little old lady went to the mirror one morning and noticed that she had only three hairs on her head. As she looked into the mirror, she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today." That's exactly what she did. And, she had a great day.
The next morning, at the mirror once again, the little old lady noticed that she only had two hairs on her head. Looking herself right in the eye, she said, "Today, I think I'll part my hair down the middle." That's exactly what she did. And, she had a great day.
The next day, as the little old lady looked into the mirror, there was only one hair on her head. She looked at that one lonely hair and said, "Today I think I'll wear my hair in a pony tail." That's exactly what she did. And she had a great day.
The following morning the little old lady looked into the mirror and there wasn't a single hair on her head. Her eyes lit up, and she said, "Yeah! I don't have to fix my hair today!"
make it a good day.
love.
