Was Fabulous! Mom is still talking about what a wonderful day she had yesterday! We all (Matt, Debbie, Pam, Jim, Dodie, Bree, Me, Trey, Derrick, Shea, Bailey and Emily) all piled in the car(s) after dinner and headed to the hospital. We fixed Carlos and my mom up with a ton of food and then brought Thanksgiving to them. I told her that if she couldn't make it to dinner we would bring the dinner to her.
Mom had specific requests....mashed potatoes and gravy, candied yams, macaroni and cheese and most importantly CHOCOLATE CREAM PIE!
I'll tell you...for a woman that has barely eaten anything in the last 6 weeks she sure had no problem devouring most of her dish and most of the PIE! LMAO! The best thing about it is that everything went down and stayed down! She feels so good today. She has daily weigh in and weighed 3 pounds more today then yesterday! Carlos said he never met a woman that was so happy to put on 3 pounds in one day lol!
If she keeps on like she was yesterday and today she should be home very soon. I just know it!
I took lots of pictures yesterday. The family room was packed so we all congregated at the sitting area next to the elevators. We had a blast hanging out and munching on fruit while mom ate her dinner.

Hey Jo! You don't know me really but I am part of the creamery too. I was offline for 10 months and when i came back you had joined during that time and already gone for a little while. We may not know each other well, But i sure do think of you often and wonder how you are doing. The pictures here are wonderful. You look like you sure are enjoying the family being there with ya, and the food too lol. Conrats on the 3 lbs! way to go. When hubby was on chemo I don't know how he did it and either do the doctors really but he gained almost 20 lbs lol over a 3 month period. I see you gaining the 3 lbs as a goooooood sign darlin. Keep up your strength and spirits darlin. Like I said before, I wanna get to know you better! And Jeannie? Darlin you are a wonderful woman darlin. And doin an awesome job of keeping everyone informed. My thoughts are with you as well darlin. Know you need it too.
