Weekly Update

Deb continues to gain strength and mental clarity. In fact, she is so sharp, Vern can't get away with anything! The pain killers continue to be decreased and their affects continue to diminish.

Tuesdays are chemo day and so Deb's daily quality of life rotates  around chemo and it's affects. So, Weds starts a downward feeling that heads further down and then begins inching upward so that by Tuesday morning, Deb is raring to go and do. Tuesday afternoon chemo changes that feeling again and begins the weekly cycle again.

So, Saturday was Deb's big day this week. Morning breakfast and garage sales. Then driving around looking at garden gates to find what she wanted. We finally found what she wants for her Banks Roses to grow on, so look for a future photo when it looks presentable. Saturday afternoon we did burgers with Amanda, Jon, and Eliana.  Fun! Afterwards we had a nice visit with my parents.

Sunday, Deb was feeling good enough to do church. She was surrounded by friends who waned to greet and encourage her. Afterwards, lunch and a long nap.

Monday morning will be some crafts with friends then Tuesday begins the cycle again!

Blessings all!

  1. I love the pix and post. So glad that Saturday and Sunday before chemo on Tuesday was filled with activities you love. I am looking forward to seeing the garden gate with the roses when I am in GA this summer. Love, Mary Roberts
    P.S. More videos of granddaughters, please! I loved the "first word" one.
