Monday Update

Mom and Dad headed to Houston this morning to begin Round 2. They are currently waiting for a room and once they get settled, they will begin the treatments. Barbara had an appointment with her doctor today and he let them know that as of last week's bone marrow test, there was no cancer in the marrow. This treatment will last 4 days and depending on how she is feeling will determine when they will be home. If you would like to send my mom a message, go to www.mdanderson.org, go to the Contact Us tab, look at the section labeled Patients, Friends, & Family, select send a message to a patient, then complete the rest of the info. Mom's patient # is 796664 and her birthdate is 04/27/1951. The message will be printed and taken to her room. Don't worry about it getting to her after she is discharged, if that happens, they will save the message until she comes back. I will tell you that she has so enjoyed your cards and notes. I take so many to her whenever I go that we have had to start bringing them back home with us because there don't have a place to keep them. If you want to send her a card, just send it to their home address and it will be delivered as soon as one of us heads down there (which is pretty often). Well, that is the update for now.
