Well- we had another quiet Shabbat and this time no trips to the Er!! Saturday Mom got a pedicure and I went to the beach. Monday and Tuesday were Mom's last two day of radiation.....YAY!!!! Unfortunately she is no longer on speaking terms with her arm.... due to the pain... but the good thing is we know it will subside now that treatments are over! On wednesday we stepped back in time into the old city of Akko, or Acre. It was overwhelmingly beautiful!!! pics to come... We had a wonderful meal on the waterfront. I cannot describe what an enormous blessing it was for me to spend this time with both Mom and Dad. As my day of departure loomed closer I wondered when I would cross that imaginary line from being sad to leave to being excited to be home... I crossed it as I exited the gate at Cleveland and heard my family's voices before I saw them!!!!! The flight home was horrendous so I will not go into details but the trip was precious memories that I will treasure always. Please continue to pray as my mom has five more chemotherapy sessions between now and March if none are delayed. Your cards and prayers have blessed my Mom!!!
Signing off for now- Dafna
I am so happy that things are going well for your mom. My thought and prayers are with her and with you and the kids, always.
