The past week we have been getting things ready for Mom and Dad to go back to Illinois for about 4 weeks or so. We moved them out of their apartment and in with us until Thursday. Mom has chemo on Wednesday and after that they will try to catch a flight home on Thursday. Illinois Cancer Care will see her on the following Tuesday. As long as everything goes well with that appointment, and Mom and Dad do well there on their own then they will stay there until the first part of March. Then Mom will come back to Utah for follow-up care at Huntsman.
We are a little nervous to see them go. However, I know Mom misses the rest of the family back there as well as her dear friends. We will be depending on our family and friends back home to help take care of Mom and Dad and get Mom out of the house a few times a week. If we don't take her out here, she just stays on the couch. She still needs to get up and move around from time to time so she doesn't lose anymore muscle strength or develop more blood clots.
Dad has been having some problems swallowing lately. He will need to have that checked out as well while they are home.
It will be hard to see them go.
