Did you realize it snowed today? Dear Dennis arrived a little after nine to drive Betty and Raymond through the falling snow to Louisville. Devona went along to help! Have I mentioned lately how much I appreciate my siblings? I get tense about something and one of them takes over and solves the problem. I'm sorry for every mean thing I did to you when you were little dear siblings.
Betty woke with a damp neckline on her gown this morning. There was a problem with her chemo. I called the trouble shooting office for the pump and they met Betty at the Brown Cancer Center to take care of the problem immediately.
Betty had a problem with the feeding tube and I called Dr. Martin's office and a couple hours later his office had arranged the procedure to replace it.
I continue to be amazed at the fluid cooperation between departments at the Brown Cancer Center and their ability to problem solve and make "it" happen immediately. There's no waiting until next week for an appointment. Blood work is done before a radiation appointment and before you leave the labs are back and the appropriate medication has been ordered for pick up at your pharmacy.
If you are diagnosed with cancer, run, don't walk, to the Brown Cancer Center. Raymond was concerned about driving in Louisville so we didn't choose Brown first. We should have. We are in good hands and Raymond hasn't gotten lost once. Did I mention Betty grew up driving in Louisville? She keeps him going in the right direction.
I imagine Betty will be sleeping this weekend after her early morning tomorrow. I hope she wakes up occasionally to visit with Katie. I've heard some lovely stories of singing Christmas Carols with Desmond Tutu and something about snorkeling in Belize on New Year's Day. Did I mention she has a tan? Let's go south!
