Mom was able to take her chemo on Friday. Her platelets were only 81,000 but Dr. Torres was afraid to put off treatment any longer. She appeared to have a pretty good weekend, eating better than she has eaten in several recent weeks. We had a nice family dinner together at the table on Saturday evening, and even had breakfast together on Sunday morning.
Nausea and vomiting set in this morning and Mom felt as though she was going to have another seizure. At around noon today she had seizure activity, without the full blown tremors we've seen in previous seizures. Dad took her to Preston Memorial where they stabilized her with Ativan and transported her here to Ruby. We arrived here around 6:00 this evening and have been able to sit with her. She has not been very responsive, she's unable to move her left side, and she has a tube up her nose to control the vomiting. The took her for a CT around 8:30 and we're waiting to see her tonight.
Things are kind of up in the air right now and we're not sure what is going on. Her oncologist is out of town for the next two weeks and the doctors we've seen tonight have been in contact with him. I'm not sure what other information to relay at this time.
Please, please, please stop what you're doing to say a prayer for Mom. Things aren't looking really good right now and we need your prayers.

God be with you. Lean into his love. Feel his peace. Know his love for each of you in this time. Sometimes he just gathers us in his arms and carries us.

Misty, I have never left a post here in your comments and I hope that everyone that views your posts checks your comments. It is 9 am here at the hospital, Mom rested pretty well after they removed the tube that was down her nose. She has had several bags of medicine through the night and is scheduled for an MRI later in the day. I cannot say enough about the care we received yesterday at the ER at Preston Memorial. Docter Holland truly did treat us like family. Her care and concern was genuine and I appreciate everything she did while we were there. I want to thank everyone that visited Susi at home as well as in the hospital and hope all of you know how much it means to us that you took the time to call, or send a card, or fix a meal or stop by to visit, or to pray for Susi and the family.
