December 1st

Dear Family,

Grandma finished her chemotherapy today and has done quite well all week and has a very positive attitude. She is starting to have some of the side effects that the doctors have predicted such as more fatigue and body aches and some nausea. This coming week will be harder than this past week.

Laurel called to say good night to Mom around 8:30 this evening and found out that the nurse had checked her vital signs and that Grandma's temperature was up to 101. They drew a blood culture and will start some antibiotics right away. After 24 hours the blood culture will be evaluated to see what type of infection it is and they will adjust her antibiotics accordingly. We will continue to give updates as soon as we know them.

We know you are all praying for Grandma and are certainly including her in your Fasting and Prayers this weekend. Grandma draws much comfort from the love and strength of the Family.

Love,
Kathie
