home again home again lalala

Mom finally left the hospital around 8:30 Thursday night.  Clancy was with her all day and accompanied her home.  She is soooooooooo happy to be home and I for one am really happy to see her there.  That hospital is nice, but home is home.

She had the brain mapping on Thursday, which I think was a  bit torturous (lying completely still for 45 minutes) but these people are very thorough, and that's a good thing.  She begins radiation to her brain on Monday afternoon.  She will have 10 sessions (M-F), followed by a break of about a week or more, and then we'll decide whether or not to continue with a 2nd round of chemo.  As it stands now, it looks like we will continue.  

As Mom says, "We will get through this."

Hi,
I am a former Blue Roses member and I worked with Janet on at least one production (I can't really remember how many shows we worked on together). I still get emails from the company and I just heard the news.
I am completely moved by this blog and have spent the last hour reading through old posts.
My love, prayers, thoughts, vibes and all other parts of my being are with your family.
I am at a loss for other words right now, but I will be checking in with this blog on a daily basis. I hope that I might be able to help, and at the very least I will be thinking, praying, etc for Janet and your family until this is past.
All my best,
Chris Williams

Love to you all.
