chemo in pictures

Here are some pictures from last week of mother receiving her chemo.  I stayed as long as I could in the blue room with her, until I had to leave.  (Visitors can only stay so long, before the nurses ask you to leave.  They want it completely quiet and relaxing for the patients.)  Before we left, she got such a WONDERFUL, thoughtful gift.  If you are interested in getting a pink ribbon "Praying for Peggy" door sign, contact Lessie Windham on Facebook or email at adoorabledesigns.studio@gmail.com.  SUPER, super cute!  Thank you Lessie, Julia, and Sherri for your thoughtfulness and creativity!  Wish I would have snapped a picture of her excitement.

Here we go with chemo...

 

It's hurry up and wait when she goes.  First there is lab work, then she has to wait to get called back.  Resting, before going back.

 

There are TV's in the back.  We were watching the highlights of Kim Kardashian's wedding on The View :)

Her nurse for the day

Almost go time...

That's the last one I got, before I got kicked out.  She came out smiling and ready to go home.

Since her treatment and getting back home, she has been doing a lot of this...

Sleeping with her favorite pals and...

hurting.

The pain in her arm has started back hurting this week.  Last week, it was very minimal.  However, this has been a different week.  She has also started being nauseated and sick on days.  We are told her hair should start falling out any day.

She leaves tomorrow for Birmingham, again.  Her treatment will be on Tuesday morning.
