Mom has been home for eleven days now. Some days have been difficult, but overall she's been much better than she was in the hospital. She is walking with assistance, she is more lucid, and her sense of humor is sharper than it's been in weeks.
A nurse from Vital Care comes in twice a week to check her vitals and to draw blood for testing her coumadin levels. Vital Care also sends an aide to bathe her twice a week.
Mom started her regimen of Tarceva on Monday. The prescription is over $3200.00 per month before her copay. I was curious to see what a $100.00 pill looked like.
So far, Mom doesn't have any side effects from the Tarceva.
Tina, Mike, Tami and the kids, and Aunt Dorothy visited Mom last Saturday. Tami brought Grandma a new sweatshirt that fits her perfectly in every way. 
Mom got up to join the family in the livingroom, and we played Apples to Apples. Mom is hysterical to play with. I'd have to explain the game to tell you why - just trust me. If you ever have a chance to play that game with her, take it.
Makayla found Corey terrifying. The video below is a couple minutes long; one of those things that will either fascinate or embarrass Makayla when she's older.
Saturday was a fun day. I hope to give more updates over the weekend. As always, the connection is slower at Suzy's so I may not be able to post, but I'll try. Thanks for your continued prayers.
