Purple power port

We had a great 4 days with Mom and Dad in Englewood! On Sunday, we went to the Englewood Fine Arts Festival on Dearborn St. and were treated to a surprising amount of quality art. There was petrified wood furniture, delicate clay orchids, Florida style pottery, music, food and friends!
Later on, we celebrated Nana's birthday at the Gulf View Grill on Englewood Beach. It was Mom's first time out to eat since her birthday on 9/4 when she and Dad were revisiting their honeymoon, the Bethel Inn (Maine). Chris joined us and we had a great time! Our favorite waitress Kathy surprised Nana with a special treat.

Monday was a day away from home at Dr. Lifton's office and Venice Hospital. We left the house at 9:30 and didn't get back until after 7pm. Mom had a checkup with the oncologist in the AM and her port placement all afternoon- her blood counts are up, the lesions on her liver have reduced in size, and no more radiation! Yay! Chemo #3 is tomorrow (Wed), which will be delivered through Mom's new PURPLE POWER PORT. It is a special port for a special lady. Here is Mom after the port placement:

Thank you everyone for your continued support! Mom's highlight is waiting for the mailman every day ;)
