Spa Day

If you happen to visit Adele and find yourself wondering why she looks so pretty it's because we had a "spa day" today!  A little hair wash, manicure ( a little too short for her taste but they look great) and some wonderful hand and foot massages.  Also, if you happen to notice a few more stray hairs on her pillow than usual that's okay.  Hair loss was a symptom the doctor told us about when she started chemo. 

With all things considered today was another good day.  Adele's oxygen is at 50 with her oxygen saturation at 96%.  She will be having some testing done tomorrow so if you are planning a visit she might be out of the room during the morning/ afternoon hours.

We wanted to share a portion of an e-mail received by Lisa Kurtz (One of Adele's loving nieces).  It brought a smile to our faces, hopefully it will do the same for you...

"Okay last night when I was with aunt deedee, her night nurse came in and introduced herself to me and she was so nice. She talked to aunt adele not in a 3rd party, she told her it was nice to see her more alert and what day it was and how she sort of slept thru the last few days, and asked her if she was in pain. Then she said I love to look at pictures, and then she stopped in her tracks and said oh is this adele doing a "oh boy" yup shot. I said yes. She said this is a fun aunt, I said you have no idea!"

" When I got there Sheri Bistrovich was there visiting her and patsy had just left.. Jimmy Daly and Ruthann came in also.  The nurse said holy cow do you have a big family or is she a politician. I said she could be the mayor of Nedrow and she does have a huge family that loves her so much."


Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget.
