Having 4 brains is better than one! After much contribution from each of us, mom's surprise birthday party was a success. There were so many things to worry about besides the planning..whether mom would be feeling better, if she'd fall for our excuse to get her to come up to the Gypsy, if the weather would cooperate, etc. But with all of us working together..I don't think we left anything out and we know mom's routine so well..that her Lovenox shot and alcohol swab were even remembered so she could take it that evening and stay on schedule with her medicines. We are good!!
The best surprise of the night was her getting to Skype with Dr. Goswami! He and Donita Schrey wanted to come for her party..but due to being such important people at their jobs..they had to stay in Springfield and work/be on call. However, we were excited that they would even consider coming. We were still excited that she was able to Skype with Dr. Goswami!! He's been FANTASTIC!!
We had a great time last night and thanks to everyone who showed up..even with the slick roads!! We know mom appreciated everyone being there!!

Thanks so much for sharing your mom's surprise birthday celebration. I think so much of your mom and how she has handled her journey with her health. Each one of her girls are such an inspiration to her and all of her friends. A close relationship is seen from all of you. I know it takes time to blog,post,etc..but I appreciate all you are doing for your mom.
Thanks again,Polly Sulcer
