Hospice

Mom signed up for Hospice last Saturday. She is still doing well, but we wanted to get everything started. A nurse will come to the house every 2 weeks to start and will come as often as twice a week when necessary. They provide comfort care (drugs, oxygen and any necessary equipment including a wheel chair, walker or even a hospital bed). The woman on Saturday was really nice and Mom has already met a nurse and a social worker...both of whom she said were nice.
Eileen, Kathi and I are taking Mom to Yosemite 9/30 to 10/3. We're all going to Boston (plus Roni) after that. The tentative plans are John and Peggy's Oct 11-14, then the cape (Joe and Gerry) Oct 15th. The 16th we all fly to Augusta to see Ivy! Oh, and her parents (Sean and Megan) too.
Can't wait to see everyone.

Sept 5th Appointment results

Mom and Eileen saw Dr. Wang on Sept. 5th. The blood work shows improvement with her liver function numbers. The CT scan shows the lesions on the liver are bigger but the lesions on the lungs are smaller.

Mom is much better since she stopped taking the Nexavar. Her appetite is back and she feels like herself again. She has decided, with the doctor's approval, not to restart the Nexavar.

We will have Uncle Rich, Aunt Judy and Aunt Alice in town next week. Yosemite the first few days of October and hopefully Boston and Augusta, GA a week or so after that.
