Friday Afternoon Update

From Valerie: Good news, mom has been feeling really good yesterday and today. She has been responding very well to her nausea medicine and that has helped her feel good. She didn't want to eat anything last night. The pork didn't look appealing and she feels like she has eaten so much meat which she usually doesn't do. She opted to have chocolate milk instead. There are many of us from the Blackham gene pool who drink chocolate milk when we have a bit of an upset stomach. :) She received some blood yesterday since her red blood cell count was down. She hasn't lost any hair yet. Laurel got here yesterday and brought Dad down to see Mom. Dad is enjoying his stay at Pat's. Today is Mom's last day of chemo. I guess this means she has jumped through the first hoop.
