Mom was able to successfully receive her chemo recently. After her scheduled week off from chemo, her white blood cell counts were, in the words of her doctor, "excellent". (Mom said it was so nice to hear him use the word excellent for something.) After the first treatment in this round, to boost her white blood cells, she received shots at the hospital on WTF (that's Wednesday, Thursday, Friday - that's a little joke from the family reunion). Those shots helped so she was able to receive her next chemo on schedule. Also her tumor blood marker had gone down from the 800s to under 400. So that's all very good. She really was really wiped out yesterday probably as a residual side effect of the chemo earlier in the week, but feels much better today.
Mom and Dad have been having a great time with Katharine and her daughter. Mom woke up with them several times this past week in the middle of the night to watch the Perseids meteor shower.
Also this past week Mom went Katharine and her daughter to the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, MA. She enthusiastically exclaimed to all of us that this was her favorite museum of all time!

Hope this sculpture does not give her or other
ephemera collectors we know any big ideas.
