Update

The doctor came today.  She said that she is a very strong woman, her heart and oxygen are strong, but her body is shutting down.  She is no longer getting out of bed or speaking.  She is not really waking up much anymore.

She said that she is at extreme peace, especially for someone her age, so we were happy to hear that.

She told us that she will likely pass within a few days.

Thanks again for all of your love and support.

Resting Peacefully

Right now she is at home and resting.  We are trying to keep her comfortable and she seems like she is not in pain.  She is starting to show signs that she is slipping away, but of course she keeps fighting.  Today we went and made funeral arrangements and picked out the perfect casket for her.  Honestly, if she would have been there we know she would have went straight to that one.  I think she will be glad that me and Brooke were there to pick it because my Dad liked a granny one and a blue one called "mystic blue" which we named big blue, and she would have hated them both.  The woman has style, you have to give her that.

She is unable to say much but she is smiling a lot, especaially for the kids.  She can't really walk around anymore and is pretty weak and has managed to get even skinnier.

She is surrounded by loving people and we are amazed at how kind everyone has been to our family.

Doctor visit

Went to the doctor today.

He said there is nothing more he can do for her at this time.

We are going to take it a day at a time, but don't be surprised if she pulls through!

She is a tough cookie!

We are going to get her hooked up to an IV at home and hopefully she will get stronger and a little fatter!

Time will tell.  Think positive thoughts.

Not doing so well

Things aren't going too well.  She seems to be getting a little worse each day.  Please send your prayers her way!

Hangin in there!

Not MUCH new to report. She is just kind of hanging in there and doing her thing! Right now she is not having any treatments, but she does have a lot of pain and spends the majority of her day resting.

She liver function is not great and she is getting her abdomen drained every couple of weeks. In fact she went this morning.

I wish I had more to report, but I am glad that I don't.

Thanks everyone for thinking of her and praying for her. It helps!

surgery a no go...

Wednesday was supposed to be another round of chemo in the liver. She went the night before and got her MRI and then I took her to Huntsman for the scheduled procedure. When we got there they didn't have her scheduled, which was weird, but she hadn't had bloodwork yet, so we figured it was cause of that.

I left her there (carpool) and as soon as I got home she called me to come and get her. The doctor decided to wait on it until June... we think he had plans or something (Doctors+Huntsman=frustration) and wanted to push it off.

So for now she gets to keep feeling good and enjoy the nice Spring weather. She will go back the first week of June for another treatment, and this could be done every few months to treat her liver.

Doing really well!

This was taken on April 30th at Carsons babtism. She is feeling really good and trying to decide if she wants to do another round of chemo.
