Excited for Mom to ring the bell
Today was a big day for Mom and the family as Mom had her first radiation treatment. She is currently resting at the Neurology ICU for the time being, happy to say that she is receiving the best medical treatment possible at Barnes Jewish and was resting peacefully at the end of the day. The treatment only lasts about 15 minutes, and we were shown the equipment and process in detail by the RN Mary Kay. While Mom was in the room receiving the treatment, we were in the waiting room per usual. However, we were witness to a man walking out of the room who rang a loud bell as he exited the room. Dad answered my bewildered face, "it means he just received his last treatment". The entire waiting room applauded as he proudly walked out. It was a really cool moment to see. Mom's treatments: 1 down, 29 to go. Can't wait until the day we get to see her ring the bell!

Thank you for the updates, Adam. I'm so happy the first treatment went well. How often is she receiving the treatments and is she staying in the hospital for the whole thing? We'll continue our fervent prayers from North Dakota! Thinking of all of you...

Mom receives radiation treatment every weekday for the next 6 weeks, with current end date of feb. 7. She is in the hospital now, but hope she won't have to stay checked in during the entire process.
