Long day

Long days equal short blogs. Mom wasn't feeling so well this morning, restless night of sleep and painful headaches. Mark and Maggie left for Cincy for the week, while the rest of us headed to St. Louis as Mom starts treatment tomorrow. But the sick morning continued into the afternoon, and we needed to check Mom into the hospital immediately upon arrival to Barnes Jewish. Helpful doctors, IV fluids, and some medication have thankfully led the long day in the car and ER to a peaceful night of sleep for Mom. Though I've said it before and I'll say it again, Mom has always been cheery, friendly, loving, and thankful for all of us around her throughout this entire ordeal. No stronger or more heroic person. We love you, Mom. Tomorrow, we start treatment. Keep Mom in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks and goodnight.
