Round two tomorrow...

I have been meaning to update the blog for a few days.  Thank you for checking back to find out how my mom is doing.  It means so much to her!

Round 2 of the chemo is tomorrow.  The last two weeks (since round 1) have had their ups and downs.  For the most part, Lana felt better than she thought she would.  But there were days where she felt nauseous and weak.  There was also some dizziness mixed in there.  She has definitely noticed a change in her appetite.  Some foods just don't sound good like they used to.

She had a doctor's appointment one week after round 1 and everything looked good.  The tumors had shrunk a little, so that was good news.

Last Saturday, after a busy weekend, she got a fever and chills.  The doctor told her to go to the ER so that's where her and my dad ended up spending Valentines' Day.  So romantic. ;)

Because she is a chemo patient, the staff in the ER treated her very promptly and made sure all the necessary precautions were taken to prevent her from being exposed to all the hospital germs.  They sent her home that night with an antibiotic.

The fever is gone now so everything should be good to go for round 2 tomorrow.  We are hoping and praying that it goes as well and the first one!

It was fun to have Nat and her two cute girls visit last week.  They loved seeing grandma Lana and she loved seeing them.  It's always so fun when they come and we wish they could stay longer!

Thank you again for all your love and prayers.  Lana is so grateful for all the texts, cards, gifts, phone calls, comments, and especially prayers.  She feels strengthened by it all!!
