Mom just completed her seventh round of chemotherapy on Monday. This means that she only has one more remaining before her surgery. The final chemotherapy treatment is scheduled for Monday, February 4th. She is very excited to be so close to wrapping up her chemo treatments. If everything continues to go as planned her surgery will take place on Monday, March 3rd.She is feeling pretty good after this latest treatment, even remarking today, "I can't believe I am feeling this good after chemo on Monday." Her energy levels remain pretty good. She rises fairly early, usually tries to take a nap in the afternoon, and is in bed shortly after the WGN News at nine. The chemo seems to affect her ability to fall and stay asleep sometimes, but she is getting a good night sleep more times than not. It is important for her to gather her strength before her surgery making a good night's sleep more important than ever.
For everyone following Aunt Kathy's fight down in Texas, she is getting stronger and feeling better every day. She still has her good days and her bad days, but is having more good than bad at this point. She is healing quite nicely for the tremendous amount of stress that the surgery surely inflicted on her body. I will continue to update everyone on her progress.
As always, thank you all for your support. It really means the world to my Mom and Aunt Kathy to know that they have so many people pulling for them.

Barb, Great to talk to you last Saturday. The birthday party for Dad went off without a hitch. Wish you could have been there, but certainly understand. We are continuing to pray daily for you, Kathy and Bill. Keep us posted on your progress and we are expecting great results from the surgery. Love you all,
