Ready for round 2!

Mom had her second round of the cancer killing poison today.  I wasn't able to go because I had to sleep for work (woo hooo night shift!).


Little sister Lisa went with her, and mom had the same sweet nurse again.  Wish I could have been there to entertain mom and say hi to Kara.


I called her tonight, and she's feeling well so far.  I'm sure by tomorrow she will start to feel the effects of the chemo again... but I will be up there in the morning, ready for this second battle.  I think this time around we're a little more prepared for the unwanted side effects (i.e.-nausea, extreme fatigue).  We are going to make this round better because we know a little more of what to expect.  My one main goal during this round is KEEP MOM LAUGHING.  I have a few ideas up my sleeve.... but if anyone has any thoughts of what could work, let me know :)


On another note, here are some books that friends have recommended so far through this journey:


Can not wait to read this book! Mom's friend Connie sent us this one.  I had seen it online and was wanting to buy it but she beat me to it.  Thank you so much Connie!  You've given us such support so far :)  I'm so glad your in my mom's life!



Now this book I have read, and I must say.. WOW!! It is incredible.  I think during this week while my mom is going to be feeling crappy with chemo, I will read it again.  This story gives me all the strength and inspiration I need to get through this.  I recommend this book to ANYONE who needs a little reminder about the life after this one.
