A thunder storm rolled through the St. Louis area last night and was lighting up the sky above the house across the street from mom and dad's in Farmington. It was quite a show, maybe the precursor for the Fourth of July.
Mom continues to grow stronger everyday. We did our daily walk in the hall while I was picking her brain on the Biggs and Bering family histories. I counted the laps silently and before she realized it we had walked half a mile (13 laps). She felt really good to accomplish that distance. Earlier this morning Dr. Pertruska visited and thought she was doing well but cautioned her not to expect a rapid recovery as he anticipates her blood count not to rise until the 23rd day and today marks the 14th day of her third month long stay in the hospital since Feburary. The 23rd day will be the 6th of July so she has another 10 days or so until her body builds itself up from the ravages of the second round of consolidation chemotherapy. She is eating well, drinking plenty of water and ready to go home.
