Mom has chosen to move forward with chemo treatment. They started this past Friday and she has been doing well. She has great care here at the U of M and that brings peace of mind to everyone. She has needed blood transfusions regularly but that will be normal during chemo. For now, the plan is to be monitored in hospital for at least another week but if she can go without needing transfusions everyday then she will graduate to Transitional Care. The full round of chemo will last about 3 weeks. We will see after that time how effective the chemo has been. The doctors are hopeful they will see improvement. 

For now she's passing the time the best she can which includes trying to eat and move more. Please be praying for my dad as well. These days are lonely without mom and his condition has been fragile for sometime. So we are watching over his wellbeing alongside mom's.
