Dad, Gabie and I drove to Cancer Treatment Centers of America to pick up mom this morning! We arrived and mom was ready to go. She was dressed, packed and waiting on us to check out. Gabie and I carried her belongings to the car so we could pick her and dad up at the front door, but mom decided to walk to the car instead.
When we got her home, Toni, Steven and Kayleigh were waiting for us. Mom was so excited to see everyone and be home! Duke, the family dog, was happy to see her too! We had to put him on the leash to keep him from tackling mom because he has missed her so much! When mom had the nose bleed and was admitted into CTCA, Duke went through the trash can and pulled all of her bloody tissues out and laid them in a pile in her bedroom. Duke has never pulled anything out of the trash before. If you were to sit in her chair at the kitchen table, Duke would nudge you with his nose and if you didn't move out of her seat he would try to bite at you!
Mom had some surprise visitors after she was home. Lifelong friends, Debbie and Gerald, came to see her this afternoon and brought her some new pajamas for when she is just lounging around. We all reminisced and enjoyed hanging out together. Mom had a great time and was so surprised when they pulled in the driveway. They hadn't seen each for quite a few years.
Mom is doing much better and we are glad to have her home!
We are not scheduled for anything until next Wednesday, July 16th, which is when mom is scheduled to start her last twelve radiation treatments.
