Preparing

I talked to my mom today and here is the latest update from her. I have not been as regular at blogging as Chemo Treatments are still pending. When mom begins treatment I will be blogging more again. Mom wanted me to let everyone know that she is having blood work and meeting with the doctors on Feb 17th. Feb 18th mom will begin her Chemo Therapy treatment, this is a one day thing, and then 3 weeks off, this will occur 4 times. Bringing Mom's treatments to end of April or so. Last week mom was extremely busy with doctors appointments, and a heart scan, as well as a dentist visit, this weekend mom is in Fort Saskatchewan with her sister Monique and family for a little r&r. Next weekend mom's brother John Debree is coming in From Webster New york to visit her, she is also go to the Kingsfold retreat center to prepare for the chemo treatments, mentally, spiritually and physically.
My brother Aaron has been home with mom, at night, and it makes me feel better that he is there. Mom has been really mulling through all the preparing that goes on in a person's heart, and soul while knowing that Chemo therapy is on it's way. She has had her share of bad days and good one's too. It is a scary road ahead, and the question "why me?" comes to mind, and anger, frustration, but so does faith, family, friends. Please continue to lift mom and our family in prayer, the journey continues and we need your support all the more right now.
I have learned that distance is a challenge when you realize the helplessness that you can offer physically. But I know that mom is in good hands and I know that she is support and not alone. Please pray for strength, endurance and trust. Mom will soon have a list of specific things that she would like to be prayed for, I will continue to keep that updated.
As spring gets closer, may our faith in our God become all the more stronger as we face uncertainty.

God Bless,

Mom and the kids
