Apr 19 – May 10 ... Since the last blog update we have celebrated 3 family Birthdays – Denita on the 22nd, Mom on the 24h and Brandon’s on the 8th! Happy Birthday to all!
Dixie made the trip to Seattle with Mom, Dad, Doug and Denita. If we’d had Danny with us it would have been like old times. It was a fun trip all in all. We drove around Seattle a lot. Mom’s doctor visit didn’t reveal anything new but the decision was made to go back on the weekly chemo treatment regime. The doctor did run some more bloods tests to compare the tumor markers. Doug and Denita went back on the train and we stayed a couple of extra days so they could do another biopsy (which was done on her 76th Birthday --- what fun). As of yet we haven’t received the results. Mom has had 2 chemo treatments since we have been home and it feeling more bad side effects from this round. She is very week and tired.
Dixie was home for a week and then went with an old friend (Merlene) to Helena to a “Hair Seminar” that was held on Sun/Mon. Haven’t been to one of those in 20 plus years. It was fun! The weather is slowly improving but we have had some rain. We are still stuck in the 50’s with a few 60’s. Dixie is anxious to plant some flowers & tomatoes but will have to wait another week or so for the nights to warm up. Mike, Dad & a cousin went fishing at Holter Lake this past Tue – they were suppose to come home with fish for dinner but they had no luck. Today on Mother’s Day we attended church and then Mom, Dad, Mike & I and Fran went to brunch. Since the weather was so nice we drove about 20 miles to “First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park”. We toured the visitors center and hike the 3 mile loop up to the top. It was very interesting. We need to get back into ‘hiking shape’ as we are now a little tired out!!!!
