On Wednesday afternoon she also had a second lumbar puncture (LP) so they could administer another dose of chemotherapy. Today will be the inagural dose of chemo via the Ommaya. Once that is finished, she'll be monitored for a few hours, then discharged home!
Her pain seems well controlled with a patch she's been wearing on the skin, and 2-3 times a day she requires heavier medications for breakthrough pain. Her nausea hasn't been an issues since admission, her weakness persists, but a physical therapist will be seeing her at home as needed.
Even Gwennie is feeling a little better. Things are looking up!
I'm back to Boston for the weekend to work Saturday and Sunday, but will return Monday. In the meantime, Mom is expecting many siblings and visitors to be coming by at home and I know she's looking so forward to that.

Monica - thank you so very much, not only for your dedication to your Mom's wellbeing, but also for taking the time to keep us all posted.
We know how important rest, peace and quiet is for Liz right now in order to be resilient and recover.
We pray and care behind the scenes, and it helps us all to learn of her progress.

Awesome. Looks like Liz will be flooded this weekend, so I'll be in touch during the week. Call me on my cell 836-2680 for anything you need. Question: Is this kind of chemo also require no flowers or fresh fruit/veggies for your Mom? I plan to do some Organic shopping, but need to know if fresh stuff should be off the list. Thanks. Joy
Hi, Liz,
Sent lots of positive thoughts right in the middle of the wedding and toasted you with the family this week. You are in our thoughts a lot, and we're hoping this sends healing your way. Hope I can visit again soon. Love, E
