Emily seems to be getting better

It looks like the reduction of chemo, taking it easy, and finishing the course of anti-biotics is paying off, Emily's cough is much, much better. it's not completely gone, but she's not coughing herself to sleep anymore. She finished her medication for pneumonia last night and now is just on her reduced chemo dose. She will be having her blood checked this Wednesday and we will find out if they will increase her dose. Emily is looking forward to getting back to school tomorrow.

This weekend was Mother's day and Emily was really excited about it. She and I went shopping for Tracy on Saturday and Emily wanted to get her a bottle of perfume. This morning we gave it to Tracy and Emily and Haley "helped" make her breakfast. The original plan was to serve it to Tracy in bed, but she got up before Emily so we just had it at the table as usual. Tracy had to work this afternoon and evening so we only had Tracy home for part of Mother's day.

I am so hapyy to hear that Emily is returning to school and that Tracey and your family had a good Mother's Day. It is great news that the pneumonia seems to have cleared and that Emily will be back on track...I hope you have a great week Pepper Family....the weather looks like it will be perfect for a few days...
