Bouncing Back

After a rather stressful Thursday where Mom not only had a CT scan done but also received two pints of blood in a transfusion, she began to bounce back on Friday.  We discovered that the cancer is not growing and that she must be fighting some kind of infection.  So a very understanding Dr. Aboo discharged her Friday with prescriptions for a couple of antibiotics, orders to take it easy AND to go and enjoy Kelly's baby shower held Saturday in London.

Monic drove her from Dornoch to the hotel in London late Friday evening (with Dad following behind by about a half an hour) and Mom crashed at about 10:30pm and remained all cozy in her bed until right before the shower began in the hotel at 11:30am the next morning.  While she was a little sluggish, she thoroughly enjoyed being Oma to Baby Noordermeer all throughout the party.

"Yuckin' It Up!"

Sunday morning dawned and she was even more perky and more herself than Saturday.  She ate great and even road comfortably to Port Huron, Michigan where we all met up with Dad and Benj to have lunch.  As we bid our goodbyes, we remarked again at how good she looked today!

Thank you Lord for gifting us all with her presence at the newest Baby Noordermeer's shower!
