Mom is doing really well, although fatigue is still the major problem she has been doing really well. She told me that she did not get accomplished all that she wanted to while on sick leave, but I think she accomplished what she was on sick leave for, what to kick Cancer in the butt!! It is our prayer that mom will continue down this road of recovery and that she will be returned to full health in short order. Mom is hoping to return to work the week of June 8, which is amazing, she will be going back slowly, to see how she handles working. It is our prayer that she does really well.
Oma and mom cleaned out mom's kitchen cupboards, she has been making cards, x-stitching up a storm, and catching up on things that she has not been able to do in a long time.
Praise be to God that the Chemo treatments are done and mom can go on living in the new normal of regular check ups, and just taking good care of herself.
Please continue pray for mom, and the family!
God Bless

PINK HAIR EXTRAVAGANZA!!
IT's A BIG HAIRY DEAL!!
This Friday May 8th, 2009, Philip Van Hooft, and a friend from school will be dying thier Hair Pink in support of my mom and thousands of other Canadian women battling cancer, and are also fund raising for Breast Cancer Research. If you would like to make a donation to this fun and worthy cause please Contact Wilma by e-mail vanhooft@telus.net they will be collecting donations after thier hair is pink as well. I want to ask for support for this cause, because we need to make cancer a part of the past and not a fear of the present or the future. Thanks so much!!

Kermit the Frog!!
I talked to mom last night, and about an hour before I talked to her she was feeling pretty good, but then an hour later, mom was feeling like Kermit the Frog again. Right now she is dependent on the anti nausea medication to take care of the Kermit the frog feeling. Mom is grateful that she has such meds to help alleviate some of those symptoms. Mom has also been given some medication to help aid in sleeping through the night. The next coming weeks will be a challenge for mom to get through but the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight.
The biggest thing will be keeping mom healthy and away from colds and flu's. We all know about the swine(H1N1 Influenza A) flu, but mom is much more likely to catch something else, from some one that did not wash their hands properly. We will continue to pray that such nasty bugs will stay away.
So I know that mom being the nurse that she is would approve on some tips for washing your hands and keeping yourself from getting sick as well.
Remember to wash your hands BEFORE YOU EVER EAT ANYTHING!
1.)Use warm to hot water, it washes away more bacteria
2.) Use SOAP and SCRUB!!
3.)Wash your hands and sing the WHOLE alphabet song before you even start to rinse off your hands, that is about as long as you should be washing.
4. Do not touch the tap with your hands to turn the water off, use a towel or a paper towel or your sleeve. When you turned the tap on, your hands were not clean, if you touch the tap again, they still will not be clean :~(
5.) When leaving the washroom, especially a public one, DO NOT TOUCH THE DOOR HANDLE!!! Use your sleeve or paper towel...There is more bacteria on door handles and taps in a public washroom then most places on earth!
6.) Use Purelle or hand sanitizer if you have it, after you use a public bathroom, or even at home, kill the buggies dead before they get to you and your family!!
Please Help to keep Yourself and people like my mom safe from getting sick. With mom's weakened immune system, a simple cold can be deadly!! Please Keep praying for my mighty mouse. Thanks again so much for the continued support!!
