Kicking off Cycle 2

Mom's Healing Space is adding parts as we do each cycle...

We arrived at 7 am to find that Mom was in room 703 which is the mirror image of room 706. Everything that was on the left is on the right, etc and her bed is facing the opposite way. It's been more than a little confusing. It will be interesting to see how she navigates things once the neuro toxicity kicks in.

As before she spent the morning getting the baseline tests done and having the central line put in. She also had what was likely her last real meal for a week or so: an uninspired salmon poor boy sandwich. (While this place is top notch for care it lags a bit in the culinary department! Then again, what do you expect if you order a salmon poor boy from a hospital :-) )

She gets her first treatment at 3 pm and the roller coaster ride begins anew. I think this time we're going to try holding off on folks calling. If you want to get in touch with her you can do so by email (which we usually check together a couple times/day) or (if it's time sensitive, etc) by calling me at 503-277-3601.

Keep sending healing wishes and I'll do my best to keep you all posted.
