Here is the latest news from Roanoke:
Mom had a really good day on Saturday. She was eating really well and got up to walk around twice! She walked from her hospital room to the end of the hallway and back. She was really excited that she could do that much. She held onto the handrail and had someone walk behind her with her IVs. Also, she received new pajamas for Christmas so she was thrilled to walk around in those instead of those attractive hospital gowns. She even has coordinating hats to match her PJ's, but this shouldn't surprise most of you. Mom is always cute and coordinated when it comes to her outfits! :)
I spent part of the day helping Mom open all her cards and gifts from friends and family. She was overwhelmed at times with the outpouring of support and well wishes. She mentioned many times that she was so blessed to have so many great friends supporting her these past two months. Her right arm is still hurting her and she was unable to write, so I "played secretary" and together we were able to send out some thank you cards.
David and Trisha came down and we watched some football. Mom loves this time of year and I was glad she had a crowd to watch the games with. Although she is not up for eating tons of food she insisted that we order some nachos and pizza to watch the game! Gotta love "Bowl Season!"
She is still scheduled to start the first part of round 2 of chemo tomorrow. Another update to come soon!

Muthahhh Brrrrown!
Great to hear you've had another good day! For Christmas, I was gonna get you a one year membership in the jelly of the month club. As you know, it's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year. Anyway, I heard that the blackberry guava daiquiri jam might not mix too well with your chemo, so I'll get it for you next year.
Mucho love..
Los.
