Day 57 (course 2 day 2)

Today was pretty low key. Mom did some of her thank you notes. Now we just have to track down the stamps and get them in the mail. She's been wanting to do this for quite some time and feels good to be able to accomplish that task - even if it was just a few of them. She has so many to write. So many of you have been so thoughtful. Thank you for that.

The home health nurse came today to teach me how to administer the shot. It's a little more complicated than the Lovanox shot but I was able to manage. Mom said it didn't even hurt. Between that and the pills she had 2 kinds of chemo today and will for the next 2 days as well.

Mom has an early morning appointment at the clinic tomorrow to check her blood. She'll be going to the clinic twice a week so they can monitor her blood and make sure her numbers are in order - white cells, platelets, and especially liver enzymes.

Mom hopes everyone is doing well and sends her love.

Love,

Amy
