This is technically a "recovery week" for Mom. Her side effects should be subsiding and her system will be building itself back up just in time to have her next chemotherapy treatment on March 26th. At the moment, mom is suffering from seasonal allergies. They are hitting her even harder this season. This is, of course, enhancing her achy body and fatigue side effects. The stomach related side effects are at a minimum at the moment, so that is a good thing.
Brynn's 1st birthday party was Saturday, March 13th. I would say that both Brynn and Mom were the center of attention. Family and friends came over to Mom to ask her how she is doing. Then, they would come to me to say, "You're Mom looks great for what she is going through". Of course, I totally agree with that, but she's just been through one treatment and there are 3 more to go. Anyways, Mom did great during the party and really enjoyed herself. That was most important to me. She even made new friends with a stuffed polar bear that Brynn got from her other grandparents. The next test will be Easter family gathering. This will also be a week after her chemo treatment.
