Mom's discharge from the hospital on March 30 was performed with pomp and circumstance. Techs Heather (blonde with pony tail) and Carrie escorted Mom to the car with special cart that kept her upright for easy transfer to the seat. There was still a little maneuvering involved, but we thought it was pretty cool. There were a few nurses, techs and doctors who demonstrated exemplary professionalism and genuine care during Mom's stay, and Heather was one of them. If you're ever admitted to the third floor of NMRH, ask for Heather.

Last Sunday, April 6, Tina surprised us with a visit. They were late for church in Traverse and decided to just come up and see Mom. So Tina, Mike, Devon and Makayla spent the afternoon. In keeping with the new tradition, Tina did Mom's nails.

Monday we went to Petoskey for Mom's follow-up with her oncologist. Dr. Galloway was very pleased with Mom's progress. Mom is off Flagyl now, and she no longer needs to take a couple other medications. She will have another ct in a few weeks to check for cancer growth against the baseline ct taken on February 29.

Saturday is Mom's birthday, and we're planning a big bash. We will have the Easter egg hunt and eat the Easter ham we put on hold during Mom's hospital stay. We're renting a helium tank to blow up 73 balloons. We have so much to celebrate!
