My mom is keeping our spirits up

My mom had a safe trip out to Portland and OHSU last week. She is recovering from the treatment and the traveling at home. My mom's doctor, Dr. Edward Neuwelt, has confirmed that my mom will remain in treatment for one full year. Her treatment started in December 2006 with OHSU and will end in November of 2007. We think she is doing very well and the doctor agrees, stating that little to NO lymphoma is visible. My mom does remain very tired and a little forgetful, but still the LIFE of the party.

The next scheduled trip is May 1 through May 6. She will be at OHSU from May 2-5. I have promised her a train ride up the coast to Seattle after her treatment in Portland....so we will celebrate Cinco De Mayo on a train from Portland to Seattle, and then fly back to Nashville the next day!

So many, many prayers and so many people to thank for all of your kinds words and thoughts for my mom. Thank you! It means the world to us that you are thinking of our mom, and us, during this time.

Much love and appreciation!
