First, I want to thank all of you for your prayers and well wishes for my Mom and my Hubby. On April 6th, 2014 Mom was finally reunited with Daddy in love after being apart for 30+ years. We are sad for the loss of her physical presence but are happy that she is no longer suffering.
Jim is still here and I have managed to feed him enough so that he has gained 6 pounds! When they removed the cancer cluster from his colon they learned that the previous 6 chemo treatments had killed the cancer by 100%! They were expecting 55% at the most, so this was good. He has begun a second series of chemo treatments this past Thursday, but has the option to quit if the treatment becomes too much for him to handle.
I am very hopeful that by the end of 2014 he will have gained much of his weight back and well be on the road to a full recovery.
Plus, every time he lost a pound, I gained a pound! I am hoping things will work in reverse now ... for every pound he gains, I lose one! Please keep him in your thoughts, prayers and well wishes ... I kinda like having him around after 45+ years ...
Take care, be happy!

Oh Karen, I am so very sorry for the loss of your Mother. I love how you phrased that she was reunited in love with your Dad. That must be a very big comfort.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to here that Jim's chemo brought such good results and that you are feeding him back to health and wellness. Blessings on you and your family, Oma Linda
Sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. I'm sure she and you Dad are smiling down at you all.
ReplyDeleteWhat great new about Jim! With your love and good cooking, I know he will continue to gain strength! You'll be back on your road trips before you know it.
I'm so sorry you lost your Mom. You've been through so much.
ReplyDeleteThe parallels in our lives are uncanny. I lost my Dad in April in 2013 while my significant other was going through major medical issues.
Sending you many prayers and blessings.
