Well, Mama Marian proudly completed another round of bi-weekly Avastin today at Dana Farber. Dad took her to Boston this morning for her check-up, the usual blood letting routine, and Avastin infusion. They were able to go up in the morning and come back this evening, as Mom does not have another MRI for six weeks.
Dad said that that Dr. Wagle (Tail) and Dr. Drappatz are encouraged by Mom's regained strength and movement on the right side and Mama Marian informed me herself that she can tell they are very pleased with her progress. She and Dad met with Aunt Jenna and Brett after the appointments and had dinner in Sturbridge on the way home. They both sounded exhausted tonight, but are obviously getting this trip down to a fine science! I missed being there today so much, but received regular updates throughout the day.
Mama Marian continues to discuss her summer plans and upcoming visit to see her favorite daughter and grand-dog in DC soon. I hope to be back home again within the next couple of weeks as well to hang out with the rents, catch up on all the good food that is constantly coming into that house, and spend some quality pajama time with Mama Marian!
Thanks for the updates Megan! I am so glad yesterday went well and that your mom is getting stronger. That is awesome news. I am sure they missed having you with them too. Yea for Dr. Wagle-tail!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the updates here Megan. All of us here at the Hartford really miss Marian (Mer'in to some). BTW The Cheever quote was a fantastic selection, Classic Marian....
