I spent the past 3 days with Mom and Justin in NC. When I got there mom was quite weak, presumably from the intensive chemo treatment she went through last Tuesday the 5th. As my time there passed, she seemed to gain some strength and her mental acuity remained good. She continues to struggle with not sleeping as well as she would like, although she does get a lot of sleep during the days as well.
Not that much to report, except that my sense is that our "worst fears", that she had begun a rapid descent, do not appear to be the case, and rather that her extreme lethargy observed in the middle and latter part of last week were due in large part to the treatment.
She undergoes another treatment on the 19th. Hopefully she will continue to gain strength before then. An occupational therapist should visit the house shortly and we hope she'll be able to regain some use of her left arm.
Anyway, that's about it. Love to all, Ted.

Thanks for the update. I had expected that the treatments would be very difficult but am happy to hear that she is making some progress. I will be there for a few days on the 23rd of May.
