Post ER visit

-

 It's been 4 days since our mom left the emergency room. Her tests were good, but the PA found a small spot on her lung, which they believe is a residual of COVID. She was given 2 antibiotics that are upsetting her stomach, but hopefully helping to wipe out any infection. The antibiotics also help boost her immune system, which is so important 5-7 days out from a chemo infusion when they tend to nosedive. 

We are trying to get her to eat and she managed to put down a Whopper, which she woke up craving on Tuesday. At 750 calories a piece we are hoping to get her to eat more! It's important to keep the weight on right now. The next two weeks are going to be rough.

Hello and Welcome!

Thank you for visiting our mom's health blog! We are all grateful for the support, prayers and well wishes each of you have sent to our mother, Anna Price. The love for our mother is overwhelming, but we aren't surprised! Our mom is an awesome and strong woman.   Today she feels great. Other than the sores in her mouth (caused by chemo and radiation) and some mild stomach discomfort, she is in great spirits. Praise God. We had a beautiful Christmas with all of the grandchildren. We played games, laughed and enjoyed every minute together. Unfortunately, Covid ripped through the house on December 26th and cut our trips short. Everyone cleared out, but I (Mercedes) stayed to make sure she was ok. Our mom was diagnosed with Covid on December 29th and ended up in the hospital by New Years Eve. She was released on January 3rd. Thank goodness she is strong and has recovered, but chemotherapy and radiation are back on the table so hopefully this blog will help each of you stay updated

Many of you have been asking what you can do to help. Thank you so much! Our mom is in great hands, but if you are willing, she would love kind notes, funny cards and extra prayers! One thing we do to make her smile is have fresh flowers in the house every week.
