First the bad... My mom has been to the hospital three times this week for tests. It is just all routine things which you must have before starting chemo and radiation. Just the same, most have been uncomfortable if not painful. It makes me so mad that she has to endure all of this. I do believe the Lord had this in His plans for her and she will be stronger in the end because of it. He will get us all through this, but it's part of the acceptance process to feel angry and I guess I'm there now. I do pray for strength as Monday I'll start going with Mom to her treatments each day at 3:00pm. She was told to bring someone with her in case she feels sick afterward. I don't mind being there for her as I told her to think back to ALL the times she sat in the doctors' offices with me growing up. It will be hard seeing my mom feel weak and maybe sick. We'll get through this and by Christmas, she'll be well on her way back to full health!!!
Now the good... We have a tooth! Well, it's just a small white line in Philip's bottom gum, but it's confirmation that there are teeth in that munchkin head. He's had a beautiful toothless grin for 8 months (or as long as he's been able to smile), but teeth mean being able to eat normal food one day with the rest of us. No more B.B.F.F.!
