Pat keeps doing little, amazing, stuff

Posted on by

 Pat had chemo on Friday, afterwards Physical Therapy and I walk her about 400ft, I held her, they followed with a wheel chair. I had the biggest smile on my face.

 

Today , Mom and Dad walked in and found her scribbling on a napkin, but it was writing, not scribbling. Dad ran out to Walmart and bought a notepad and pen for her. I wasn’t there, but what ensued is evidenced below.

 

 Although, not readable, working on words, and writing in her handwriting …

Just Another Sunday

Posted on by

Hi all,

Pat is stable, and today I went to the home and bundled her into her car (Scion XB), and we went for a little tour. First, to see Mom and Dad, car side visit at their house, then over to our home. At our home, I brought Chuy and Sammy out to say hi to Pat in the car. Then we stopped at McDonald’s, where I picked up my lunch, and an ice cream cone in a cup for Pat. The last stop was to a 7-11 to pick up the paper for Pat, and finally back to the home, where we ate lunch, hers prepared by the home, mine from McD’s

It has been about 4 months since she had been out in her car, and since she has been able to move around more, easier to get out her chair, it was time.

I also put a suction cup affixed bird feeder on Pat’s room window, she loved her birds, so hopefully some will stop by 🙂

I thank all of you that came and visited Pat this week, again, thank you.

I have received feedback from Duke on Pat’s MRI results, the tumor is advancing, but very slowly. She will be put on another chemo drug. I expected this, and I am very happy that it is advancing “very slowly”.

Thanks for all your support,

Scott

Grief… Do you ever post?

Posted on by

Yes, I know it has been a while

Not making excuses, but my job has been in turmoil. This has not affected Pat, she is doing great. What do I mean?

Well here is a small list

  1. Really wakened up over the last few weeks
  2. More vocal
  3. More self awareness
  4. More curiosity
  5. Feeding herself
  6. Reading magazines
  7. Back in physical therapy and walking (assisted)

Pat , in the last month, has shown some really good progress. Last week we went to have her long awaited MRI done (locally) along with shunt adjustment, the former cannot be performed without the later, which has been a difficult road.

On this day I have no idea on the findings of the MRI, I will soon.

There are probably many things I have omitted , please visit Pat.

Thanks to all,

Scott
