With a week of radiation complete, our focus has turned to the start of chemo. Lately, I find it difficult choosing the right words to describe all that is happening. For now, all I can think of is admiration. I admire my Mom’s courage and excitement to get her treatment going. Tuesday morning she rushed around the house getting herself all “fixed up” and prepared to start killing her cancer. I could see strength and energy building within her to attack and conquer. After 6+ hours, she returned home feeling, in her words, “great!”
So far, everything is going well. We’ve been taking James for walks everyday. We did a little shopping at Target and Macy’s. We have some good laughs each day and of course we all enjoy naptime! Ginny-Mom has also been enjoying a Mad Men marathon. For those of you who know the show, she has decided that “Don Draper is trash!!!”
Our adventure today, led us to the hair salon where my Mom got a darling Pixie cut. We tried to take a picture to show everyone, but none of them met approval status. We’ll keep working on it. In the meantime, you’ll have to take my word for it, the new hairdo really brings out her stunning eyes and accentuates her bone structure perfectly!
Everyday, at some point, Ginny-Mom talks about how wonderful it is that so many people, throughout the country and even some overseas, are thinking about her and praying for her. She feels your energy and takes great comfort in your support. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts, prayers, heartfelt notes, encouragement. Please continue to pray for my mother.
Love to you all,
Kristin
I think about your family every day and you are all in my prayers every night. Stay strong, Ginny and the whole Rost clan! The power of prayer can do miraculous things.
