The girls will be four weeks old in the morning. They are growing so fast!
Today, my guy's Mom came from Twin Falls, Idaho, to see the puppies for the first time. She absolutely loved them! One of our highlights this afternoon was doggie bath time! We had a good visit, a great dinner together, and she plans to come back in a couple of weeks to see the puppies again. They should be real fuzzy by then.My Mom met with the Oncologist for the first time, last week. In the morning, my Mom will have surgery again. This time, to insert tubes near her collar bone to enable the chemotherapy drugs to enter her body. The Oncologist gave her some percentages on life, last week. Without any further treatment, she had a 55% survival rate. With chemo, another 5%. Then add radiation, another 15%. After this, add oral cancer killing drugs, her chances go up to 85% survival rate. This is something my Mom will fight for. So, the road ahead may be a tough one, but it's a trip she plans to take. I will be along for the ride.

Your puppies are just adorable. I'm loving watching them change each week.
You and your mother have a rough path ahead. I'm praying that all goes well and she finds her way back to health. I can imagine how scared you both are. The numbers show she CAN get through this....and I know you'll be right there to help her.

Wow, those are some odds worth fighting for. I'm glad you are able to support your mom. There are so many people who must face this demon alone.
I'll bet its hard to let the little ones go isn't it?

Those percentages are really great. I am glad she is feeling hopeful, and ready and willing to tackle her illness with all the treatments available to her...tell her she can do it! JAE

Oh, I'm sure they are so much fun to hang around. I see Lily is sold. I love Sadie, but I can't have her. She looks so cute. Anyway Tugie would be mad.
I will pray for your mother, and for you too. It's tough to sit and have to hear and then ponder survival rates. I know she is glad and proud to have you by her side through all of this.

I just found your comment to an older entry of mine (Beach). Thanks for visiting and good luck to your mom. IF you've been reading my journal at all, you know that my stepmother's odds were much worse than the oppposite -- but I do understand the battle your mom is facing ~ and all of you, for that matter.

PS my thoughts are with your mom....

Oh, I got my puppy fix now!!! They are growing and oh so cute. :)
I've been down the cancer road with a family member, and I honestly believe a positive attitude makes a huge difference. It gave my father three extra years. And we packed a lot into those three years.

LOL! Your girls are cuter, and growing fast. I am sorry to hear about you Mom. It's really hard to watch someone you love, go through the treatments. Hope her surgery went well. Take care.
