Parental Health

Thought I would give an update on the good ol' parents:

Mom: My mom has been recovering slowly but surely from her heart-stopping experience earlier this year. She's been working on rehabbing her heart and she's basically back to where she started: in need of surgery. So...she'll be going back to have the angioplasty done today. Obviously this makes our butts pucker a little bit, considering we almost lost her last time - but it SHOULD be no problem. Her doctor is simply good people and he's looking out for her. She's in good hands...but we'd still appreciate your prayers :)

Dad: As you may remember, my dad fell and broke his patella (floating knee-cap bone) the week of Jane's mastectomy. They can't really cast it, so he just sucked it up and hobbled around during the holidays and is mostly back to his old form at this point. It still smarts from time to time, but he's doing well.

Bonus Mom: Jane had her first round of chemo early last week and so far...she's been doing really well. They gave her a jolt of red blood cells right after and she was up and bustling around, accomplishing everything within arms reach she had so much energy. That was followed with a couple of low days. Feeling tired and ache-y - like the worst hangover ever (as she described it to me). But she perked up and has been doing quite well. She still has some low-energy days, but for the most part - she's the same ol' Jane; bubbly, happy, and gettin' things done! The other piece of good news is that she does NOT have to have the follow up medication for one year. She only has 5 rounds of chemo to go (three weeks apart) and she's done. Woo hoo!! Thank you so much for all your prayers!
