Radiation Treatment #3 DONE!

There was nothing easy about the radiation treatment today. They had to move Mom from a "Cadillac" of ventilators to a portable "Pinto" version to move her down to the basement for radiation. Because of the difference in breathing Mom had a panic attack and was wiggling and shaking on the radiation table. Luckily the team ran in to prevent her from falling and allowed me to go with them. I was able to calm Mom down then they let me coach her though the session via the speakers so that she heard me telling her to calm down, to be still and that everything was OK. Her blood pressure went through the roof and I can only imagine how scared she was -- but SHE DID IT! She has successfully completed 3 of the 10 radiation treatments and tomorrow she gets the day off. Yahoo!
