Not a lot to update but I’ve been hearing from people that they like updates even if there isn’t really any news to fill an update.  So here’s a non-update update…

Mom continues to receive visitors and enjoy having company (depending on how her day is going) although it is very exhausting for her.  I think she’s been surprised by the number of people who’ve heard about her cancer and have called to stop by and visit.   Mom and Mike still get out for lunch or dinner once in a while and still go on mini shopping trips just to get out of the house.  Mom has now become a Sudoku snob, preferring the “more challenging” puzzles to the easy books.  She seems to go through a book a week.

Today the minister came by to visit and give them communion.  I asked mom if she was going to wear a little white dress and veil since it had been so long.  She wore black, and no veil.  That woman has never been a conformist!

The next few weeks are going to be busy with more of Mom’s sisters, brother, Beth and my dad all heading her way to see her.  I’m sure there will be a lot of laughs.   And probably tears.  And maybe a brawl.  I sure miss those days!

Mom found a lump in her abdomen the other day.  She doesn’t know if it’s cancer that has spread or what it is and isn’t in any hurry to rush to the doctor since it isn’t causing pain.  Mom’s Oncologist offered to stop in at her house to visit anytime she wanted her to so I think Mom will take her up on the offer.  Isn’t that cool that a doctor is willing to make a house call?  I’ll be very impressed if she really does it. 

Better get back to screening photos of Mr. Beckham…
