day 47... the Hope Lodge

mom had a pretty good day today.. she slept well, had pancakes and popscicles for breakfast and a seafood extravaganza for lunch.  after a short rest and a visit with family, she had to leave for buffalo.  this time, mom and dad are staying at the hope lodge.. finally.. mom got to see what it's like there!  they just arrived not too long ago and are settled in their room.  it's beautiful they said.  we are all so happy and relieved!  they have a little tv in their room and the bathroom is right next door.  (the rooms that have bathrooms in them are reserved for patients receiving chemotherapy).  mom said they have the heat on so it's nice and toasty in there.. plus she has 3 flax bags and a couple fleece blankets too! 

here's a link to the virtual tour for those of you interested!  http://www5.cancer.org/docroot/subsite/hopelodge/NY_Buffalo/nyb_virtual_tour.asp

we are all very anxious about tomorrow's tests.  they will determine whether or not mom can move on to course 2 of her treatment.  pray for good results. 

mom should be home tomorrow afternoon and i'll update as soon as i can with any news. 

good night.

love.

  2. It looks beautiful and so much nicer than a hospital room! We love you and miss you! Jazz made me videotape her game the other night and she did extra good so you'd be proud of her. Lisa- thank you for the updates, you have no idea how nice it is to be able to have them and know whats going on! Love Mary
