Reformed Chicks Blabbing

Guess more than one tax cheater was too much to offer the American public: Tom Daschle has withdrawn his name from nomination for the post of Health and Human Services secretary, USA TODAY’s David Jackson reports. That word comes directly from Daschle himself, via a statement the White House just released. In that statement, the…

I’m finally getting around to reading all the comments that you guys were posting when Sarah took over the blog. Sarah told me about this comment: Sarah, you absolutely must not lock your mother in the basement, no matter how evil she is. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised that someone would say something…

That you guys don’t want to see the scar. I don’t blame you, it’s not very pretty 🙂 I’m glad that I don’t have to prove my veracity. And thanks to everyone for the recommendations on the port. I’m going to see if I can request that they install it. Before I had the operation,…

One of the commenters thinks that I may be lying about the cancer: My mother had ovarian cancer and she most certainly wasn’t returned home from hospital as quickly as Michelle. And there’s no way that my mother would have been able to type on a computer when she got home. She was in so…

So, I have papillary serous carcinoma, it’s stage 3 C ovarian cancer — it’s an aggressive cancer. The tumor was removed as was some cancer cells from my intestines and fat.

This is Sarah again. Michele hasn’t had the strength to blog yet, but she’s home and walking. Otherwise she’s ok. Hopefully she’ll be blogging again soon and back to her old self, which we all love.

Sarah here, for the last time. Yes, you shall all be rid of me because my mom is coming home!!!!!! Yea!!! So she was feeling better, obviously, she was eating solid foods, getting up and walking around by herself, and was feeling much stronger. She was off the iv and the doctor said she could…

Well today we went to the hospital- obviously- and she was doing much better. The oxygen tubes were taken out. She even got out of the bed a couple times to go to the bathroom. She was doing well, took a little nap, and was getting blood transfused into her system. She should be able…

Sarah here again. Thank you all for the uplifting comments and all the encouragement. It’s great how at times of crisis people rally together. Everyone has been so helpful while we are going through this and it’s greatly appreciated! Well we visited my mom after school today. When we arrived she was feeling nauseous, but…
