Mom Update 8/18/26

Mom is expected to come home around August 26–27 after completing rehab at Phelps. Once home, she will begin oral chemotherapy and radiation, so right now we’re focused on helping her recover as much strength and independence as possible.

She is working hard, but still needs a significant amount of physical assistance and is having trouble navigating her phone. So please don’t worry if she doesn’t answer calls or messages—she may need help with them, but she absolutely appreciates everyone thinking of her. 

Visitors are welcome at Phelps! Weekdays are best between 5:30–7 PM, and weekends are more flexible. Once she’s home and settled, we’ll welcome visitors there too.

One important note: once treatment begins, Mom will be immunosuppressed, so please be extra mindful about illness. If you’re feeling sick or have recently been exposed to someone who is, please hold off on visiting.

We are so incredibly grateful for all the prayers, visits, messages, donations, and love you’ve continued to send our way. It truly means more than we can put into words. ❤️
