Leland had his 5th treatment last week. It went well, and he continues to be much improved. Not 100%; as in completely well, but still so much better. He is driving again, and has taken over the Seattle driving for which I am very happy! He does a better job of that than I do, so I am glad to let him have it and so glad he is feeling up to it.
After treatment, we went to Chaunda and Patricks. We got to see the house and yard and a couple of the newest art projects. She had fixed a nice lunch which we enjoyed, and then Patrick came home from work and we were able to visit with him for a few minutes before starting for home. It is a long drive!
Yesterday, Sabbath, we went to church then in the late afternoon headed to MaryHill Park for a picnic supper with friends, a lovely day, none of which was possible just 5 weeks ago.
This week will be quite busy with the trip to Seattle, then on to Redmond for Mom's memorial service. We will take the trailer and Del and Chuck will travel with us, so if Leland gets tired, Chuck can drive. I can drive on the open road if I need to, but would never be able to back it up and park it.
Mom's service is on Sabbath, Oct 6 at 3pm, Redmond SDA Church. Leland has created the program hand out, and it has gone to the printers, we will pick up the order on Monday. Del has arranged the program, gotten the headstone which is beautiful, Norm has done a really great slide show, and now I must put the finishing touches on the Eulogy, and we are ready to honor her life. We are grateful Mom never had to know about Leland's cancer. We are also grateful to be able to plan on going to her service, which would not have been possible had this all happened in July. We are looking forward to seeing all the family and many friends next weekend.
