News on Chemo & Opportunities to Deliver Dinner

Eve got out of bed today to stretch her legs and is hoping to get around even more tomorrow. She hopes to be out of the hospital and home by Monday.

We learned today that she will begin another course of chemo in approximately 6 weeks. The chemo will be given every three weeks for a couple of months, beginning in early February.

During her surgery this week, a port was inserted into her abdomen. This will allow the chemo to reach the targeted areas without going through her entire bloodstream. This, in turn, allows the doctors to use a stronger dose of the medication.

Jill and Wendy are organizing meals for Eve and her family. If you would like to sign up to bring over a hot meal, please email Wendy Spander at WSpander@ea.com.

You're doing great, Eve! We are so happy you'll get to be back home very soon.

I would like to volunteer to take dinner one day this week (Mon 12/21 or Tues 12/22). I couldn't figure out how to sign-up for the meal on Mealbaby.com. Are there any dietary restrictions? I was thinking of making Arroz con Pollo (rice with chicken), but I can bring a different meal. Thank you :). Emi Ashida
