Yet another update

This is like the third update this month - I'm on a roll!

My mom is doing great. She pushed her next chemo back a week, due to a scheduling conflict, but I feel that she's got some great confidence going into the rest of her treatment schedule, as this last round didn't knock her down as badly as in the past. She'll be doing the next treatment on Mon., Aug. 3.

My grandma is at home now. I wouldn't say she's doing great, but she is stable. She has a hard time eating because everything makes her sick and she has stated that she will be doing no more chemo, so I guess that means she is not going to get any better.

My dad's dad is now in a nursing home and he has been listed as "terminal." I assume that means that his organs have no hope for lasting much longer. He is sometimes like his old self and then sometimes not lucid at all. It is quite hard to see.

My aunt is pretty much back to normal. She's still got some pain, but she doesn't let it stop her from getting out and about.

In happier news, I'm planning a trip to Dallas in late August. I'm so looking forward to good times with friends and just getting out of this healthcare haze for a few days.

That's all from here for now.
