Day One down, Four to go

I just spoke with my dad so I wanted to give you a quick update on Mom's Day One: Radiation Treatment.  Apparently, she had a CT scan done from the waist down at around noon today.  After this they "marked" her body so they would know exactly where to radiate (Tsk, tsk... Mom's got some tattoos now!!! :)  They then told her to just skidattle for a while and come back at 3pm for her first treatment. 

Mo, Mom and Dad spent the time exploring Costco and the best part of it was Mom's transportation:

While the rest of you may just think this picture is cute or fun. 

 We kids think it's the sweetest payback EVER!! 

 Long story short, when we were young (grade school age) Dad and Mom would make us bike to our bus stop at Noordermeer Bros Inc.  Now this sounds rather practical and even good for us right?  While it was great for us physically; emotionally we really struggled since each one of our bikes had an ENORMOUS, TALL, BRIGHT ORANGE flag strapped to the rear "fender".  It was SO embarassing!  Every one knew when the Noordermeer kids were coming because we came blazing into Noordermeer Bros Inc parking lot, flags a-waving!!  Hopefully, this story allows you to enjoy this photo just a little bit more!

So back to how today went:  At 3pm she came back and they did the procedure.  Mom jokingly said it took her more time to undress than it did to have the radiation done!  After a bit of rest time at Thameswood Lodge, she, Mo and Christian went to visit Grandma and Grandpa for a bit.  Obviously, she is feeling good both physically and mentally in order to go about making social calls.

Thanks for all your continued prayers!  Day One Down, Four to Go.
