Sunday evenings are family dinner time at my parent's house. We have been doing this since both my sister and I moved out of the house, so it is a long tradition. Sue brings the kids over and we have play time and a good hearty meal. Mom has been handling these gatherings pretty well during her chemotherapy. There have been times that she can't hold or lift Brynn or Beckett due to colds, etc. Plus, mom couldn't lift Brynn after her biopsy in December and surgery in January. Most of the time, Mom watches the kids play from afar. She says that she enjoys that just as much as lifting the kids! Well, last night, even though Mom was feeling very tired and achy, she lifted Brynn and gave her hugs and kisses. It was so sweet to see. The pictures are of the playing chaos with Beckett and Brynn last night.
Mom also forgot to put her scarf or hat on last evening when the kids came over. But, Beckett or Brynn did not seem to mind at all. Mom's hair is very thin, very short and gray, so it is a difference from just a few months ago. The kids didn't seem to even notice. That is actually a relief for mom, because she isn't a big fan of wearing the hats and scarves. She did get some cute hats, which she does look cute in, so that is a help. She doesn't quite have the head for the scarf-look.
The countdown to the last chemo treatment has begun...Friday, May 7th is the last treatment and then we go on to the next stage of her treatment against breast cancer returning.
