Week 9 came and went with not much to report except a slight change at the Doc's office. Mom generally gets chemo on Wednesdays with an occasion trip back on Thursday for a follow up of Magnesium or Neupogen. But, Doc is on vacation so they moved her treatment to Thursday. No big deal, except we didn't find out until Wednesday...DOH! Apparently the nurses that have been caring for Mom up to this point are rented from the hospital. I guess Doc leases the space from Mercy Hospital and then leases the nurses as well. As of September 1 they aren't renewing the lease of the nurses and they're bringing in their own so there's a bit of transition going on and someone overlooked the appointment cards. Other than messing up mom's morning nap there wasn't any harm done and she got in on Thursday and got Erbitux.
This week (10) is the same schedule. Erbitux on Thursday. Mom has been really tired the past 2 days. However the week started off completely different...FOOTBALL!! Mom got to experience Football in the Lansberry as our Bengals took on the Cowboys in the Hall of Fame game Sunday night. Although the starters played about 10 plays total and we lost it was still a fun way to start off the week and get our minds off the rest of the everyday stuff!
The benefit (This Saturday 6-9, Take 5, Fairfield) is coming along nicely. People have been very generous with their donations to the silent auction/raffle. We've received anything from hair products to school supplies to Autographed footballs and it's all greatly appreciated. From the grapevine I hear there should be one heck of a turnout as well. We're looking forward to it.
I'll let you know how mom's treatment tomorrow goes and any last details about the Benefit on Friday! Thanks for checking in!

By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what i preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain, For i delivered unto you first of all that which i also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures, Take care
