DAY 13 - AFTERNOON UPDATE

Okay, so I had this whole post written out about how they were saying today is the last day of treatment and we are leaving tomorrow - while knowing the whole time that we have another day of treatment that won't have been done.

SOOOOOO, I went and cracked a few heads together - made them pull out her chart and figure it out - and low and behold, we have a whole day of treatment tomorrow!!  So, we'll be headed home Thursday morning.

In the meantime, I rushed around and got one month's worth of supplements to take home.  At least that's done. (see pic below)

One nice thing to return home to is - over the next 3 weeks, no fewer than 5 of Valerie's family will be coming to visit.  They have arranged to rent an available condo in our building for the next few months so family can come and go.  That is going to be a huge help to me and a huge emotional boost for Valerie.

The count of 5 doesn't even include the 6th, who has been at our place since July 28th when we came home from the US hospital.  Vanessa has been there even for the past 13 days that we've been here.  Many of you know that we bought a condo a year ago and proceeded to rip it apart and begin a huge remodel.  Well, when Valerie was diagnosed in early March, we put everything on hold and have not done much of anything since then.  But since we've been in Mexico, Vanessa has worked on painting both of our bathrooms and putting cork shelf liner on all of our kitchen shelves.  WOO HOO!!  We are that much closer to a finished home!!

I will post more tonight.

**here's what one month's worth of supplements looks like (same bag/same pills - just 2 different shots)
