It has been a little while since my last post and there are a few things I need to send an update on. This week is a busy one. Sarah has an appointment every day this week. Her ANC was ~900 and so we are continuing consolidation. It also means that she is about 4 weeks away from the time that we start the 2 yr clock, which is how long she will have left of her treatment plan.
Monday, Sarah went to a physical therapist appointment. One part of the chemo, is having pain in the legs. The PT told us that Sarah's gluts aren't strong enough. That is causing her to walk on her tippy toes. She also tends to walk on the outside of her feet. They have given us some exercises that she needs to do to strengthen her gluts and getting her walking right. There is the possibility of her getting some braces to help her walking for a little while. We will have weekly appointments for the next little while with the PT. Sarah liked the exercises and thought they were fun. That will go a long way in keeping her happy doing them.
My mother came in town yesterday. The girls and Gus were excited to see her this morning. She is here for a week to help out. We are grateful to have her with us and the help that she will provide. We are thankful for all those who have helped out in other ways as well.
