Flowers

Mom got these flowers sent from her nephew, Paul, who lives in New Jersey, a few days ago. Very pretty and it definitely brightened her day! Also, a belated thanks to Karen for her lovely daisies. Sorry, I didn't get a picture of them, but they were very appreciated.

It's been a whirlwind of family activities for Mom for the last few days. She can handle one activity a day and then she is totally wiped out. Friday night and Saturday for lunch, was a visit from cousins Bruce and Joyce. This morning was Easter basket fun with the kids and tonight will be family Easter dinner. She'll be pushing it energy-wise for the dinner tonight, but she will be a trooper and will be there. I think that she is looking forward to seeing family. Aunt Marilyn is supposed to be there as well.

She "stumped" the oncologist on Friday. Brynn broke out in a rash as a reaction to her rubella/mumps shots earlier in the week. Brynn also has a cold. Sue called the pediatrician and asked about Brynn and Mom being in the same room. Mom also called Cindy, the oncology nurse about it. Both doctors had to look up information, because they hadn't had that question asked before! Cindy told mom that she can admire Brynn from afar, but she can't touch her. That was the same thing that the pediatrician said. So, Mom admired from afar, but Brynn kept coming up to Mom wanting to be held. It was so sweet and a bit sad at the same time. Beckett can still give hugs though and that is most important.
