Our First Day

Wow!  What a day, what a place!  To those who have been here....you understand.  I am completely speechless.  It is an amazing, amazing organization.  Such friendly, helpful, compassionate staff and patients..every one is either in the same place you are SCARED or have been there and can't wait to encourage you!

We met her doctor and his physician assistant who was incredibly helpful and loving towards mom.  Mom and dad are still at the hospital getting IV fluids since mom is so dehydrated.  She has gained a few pounds (yeah!)  Isn't it crazy...we were talking about this but she has spent her whole life trying to loose weight and now we are celebrating because she has gained !!!!  They are going to run a few more tests tomorrow and another IV on Wednesday and as the words from her doctor..."I will see you again on Thursday and we will begin treating you."  My response was, "It is treatable?" to which he just smiled and said, "Yes!"  I also asked how many stomach cancer patients has he treated ...he said he could find the numbers but he had already seen 30 today (as of 2:00)...more than some oncologists see their whole careers.  We are so in the right place.  They are asking that mom do her treatments here in Houston so Bobby and I are trying to find somewhere alittle more permanent to stay in besides a hotel room.  Thankfully, we are coming on Summer break....My first summer that I have off!!!! Such a blessing from God.  We had moved the schools to the college and I was contracted for 9 months for the first time ever...for a reason.

Thank you so much for your support and prayers.  If you have a message for mom, you can put it on here or email it and I'll get it to her.  She's eating better...organic.  When we got here, she wanted Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Meal!  I made her the organic version to which she asked ...where is the cheese????
