Physical therapy went very well again today - Angela and David wish to express their tremendous appreciation to Mike and Chad at Morgan Physical Therapy for seeing to it that she gets the most out of her therapy sessions. Chad has diligently worked with Angela day after day to see that she maximizes the benefit of her time there. Angela is working hard and getting the job done !!!
Today was a record also for minimizing time under the "mask". Her radiation treatment was completed in a record 20 minutes. Still no fun, but Angela's learning how to manage it. Four down and 26 to go !!!
Angela had some pretty serious problems with nausea over the weekend - got pretty bad on Sunday - she asked David not to come straight home after he brought the kids to church - he brought them out to lunch and to play at the park for a couple hours - that gave Angela a little window to get some much-needed rest. Hoping this nausea may subside after a few days of her system adjusting to the chemo meds.
Visits are a little dicey right now - safer to call ahead - she loves to have people around when she can enjoy them, but that is not always possible. David said he hated the thought of eating out for lunch with all the home-cooked food at his house, but it was necessary in order for Angela to get some quiet and rest.
You will notice that a food/meal calendar has been added to this site. David requested this so that nobody's food preparation efforts will be wasted. They have cleared some freezer space to store extra food, but capacity is limited, so the calendar will help to eliminate duplication of efforts. David and Angela said the food has been spectacular, and I can verify that fact for you, because I have "participated" in several of the meals.
Angela went to Aunt Lucy's house Monday afternoon to take a nap and David took the kids home to play.
Thanks for the outpouring of love and support during the past few weeks. It has truly been overwhelming in the best possible way.
