Prayer Thread for Zippy-Kat's *MOM*

:love: Thanks for your continued support, guys.

Mom had 3-4 days of extreme tiredness/weakness but otherwise is doing great. We went for the one week check up this past Wednesday and the doctor was extrememly pleased with the bloodwork (cell counts, etc.).

This Wednesday she has an appointment with our hairdresser; she's going to get her hair cut really short so that the hairloss (it's pretty much a given - 3 of the 5 chemo drugs cause it) won't be such a shock. It is "just hair" but it's also self image.

..........


I don't recall exactly how this came about but we had an inside "joke" about envisioning the chemo as Kung Fu Panda, slipping in and kicking cancer butt. SomeANGELbunny sent us a KFP in the mail and he is AWESOME. :D I can't tell you how much that has lifted my mom's spirits. His phrases (and some of his moves :rolleyes: ) have become incorporated into our daily vocabulary. {THANK YOU!}

What great news that the bloodwork looks good! It's the little victories that smooth out the journey. Yes, it's just hair and will grow back. Think of it this way. She has a chance to try on wigs of different colours and maybe become a stunning redhead, a blond bombshell, or a beautiful brunette. This was a thought that I entertained myself. :D

Continued prayers on this Monday morning and beyond.

:love::love:

Prayers still flying from me for you and your mom!!!
(((HUGS))) to you both too!!! :love:

I really appreciate each and every one.

Hope this first 'round' is over soon and you get some time to recoup.

Mom had a scan (uh, PET scan, I think) week before last. She went for chemo this past Monday and got the results then. According to the doctor, "It could not be better." The tumor has shrunk significantly! Thank you, God!

So, two more rounds of chemo, then another scan and we'll go from there. Radiation is still a possibility; he said that the chemo will leave some scar tissue which is breeding grounds for these cancerous cells. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Grace got a belly-zipper installed on Monday so she's been extra cuddly for Mom. Purr-therapy is quite healing. :love:

Thanks for the continued well wishes!

as you know - thoughts prayers praises and love sent always.:love:

Oh Zippy, thats great news!!!

Please add me to the prayer circle and know that you have my good thoughts and well wishes flying over the border.

Much love
slick :love::love::love:

Wow - great news so far! Does she get a bit of a break from chemo?

That tumour is goin' back to NOWHERE! :D

Hugs, love and prayers to both of you.

Remember these? :D

No "real" break from chemo - treatments are/have been 3 wks apart.

K'Cee still reigns as the Pretty, Pretty Princess and Grace the zipper-bellied, well, temporarily, she's taken to bothering Sid.

Tonya, I'm so glad to hear that your mom is doing so well.:) She remains in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

I'm also glad that Grace is giving her some purr therapy. She sure is a cutie pie.:)

Grace is providing purr therapy - and pure entertainment, it looks like, by pouncing on the bigger siblings! :D

Prayers that all continues to go really well! How is your mom's energy and appetite? HUGS to her and you.:love:

Not much to report other than what Staci has already said.

Mom's in a very sterile room at the hospital. They're giving her an iv and "stuff" (getting specific info from dad is like pulling teeth). Some of the "stuff" is to combat the nausea, the other is some form of antibiotic. They also did an xray and more bloodwork to see if anything else was going on; results are not back in yet.

{{Thank you guys for your support.}}

Awww, NUTZ! :(

I guess that rules out your *smugglin* Lil Miss Grace in
via baggy sweatshirt or backpack, huh?

Are ya sure she couldn't have a Stuffie? :(

BIG {{{HUGS}}} to New Mexico Mom!!!! ;)

Oh Zippy, I've got major LES here. :( I'm so sorry that your Mom is not doing well, but just know that with all these prayers going on she just has to get better and beat this disease.

Big {{{hugs}}} you :love::love:

NM mom is still in the hospital and really needs the prayers - she is having trouble breathing and they are suctioning her right now. Tonya is at work and I'm sure a nervous wreck so she doesn't know the details.
Last I heard she had c-diff in her stool which is HIGHLY contagious so that's probably why she's in isolation.
