Hello ladies! I know that I've been missing in action...sorry! It's been crazy here...seems to be a pattern. Sounds like plenty going on around here. I hate it when I can't keep track of the comings and goings of my O-fam!
Here's what's going on here. Mom has her last chemo appointment on Tuesday...and one more week of radiation. She's pretty tired and having trouble swallowing (an expected side effect of the radiation) but we are closing in on the end of the treatments anyway.
Two weeks ago, found out that my cousin who is 2 weeks older than me has breast cancer. She lives about 20 miles from here so we have pretty much grown up together. Thought that a lumpectomy would do the trick...but got in there and found more than they expected...some in the lymph nodes so went ahead and did a masectomy. She starts radiation and chemo next week.
Went to parent teacher conferences and Syd's was first. The only concern there is that the teacher thinks that she is very gifted in math and there is no program for that until 3rd grade. So I need to try to keep her motivated in math until she gets there. Then went to Shaun's and they say that his reading of words has improved but his comprehension has fallen behind. They don't know if it's language related or not so they want to do some assessments and meet with us to discuss.
Really need a day off but I'm saving all of my time for Mom. May need to break down and take the day before Thanksgiving in order to get the dinner cooked.
Tired...but hoping things improve soon! Anyway, miss all of you and planning to be around more!
