There has been a silence on the blog as there is not much to report. Mom is busy with occupational and physical therapy and a few doctor appointments here and there. Her biggest symptom currently is fatigue, headaches and intermittent pain on the left side of her body.

We had visitors over this past week including my best friend's 2 year old daughter which brought a huge deal of joy to mom. It was a small taste at being a grandma.

With the help of many friends and family we pulled off a 60 person BBQ party at our house celebrating the engagement of Chad (my brother) and Angee. Having so many friends and family at our house eating delicious food, carving pumpkins with kids and laughter all around brought so much happiness to mom.

November 10th is her next MRI - until then we will continue to enjoy our days and make every effort to increase mom's strength and energy.
