“Let us not become weary in doing good,
for at the proper time we will reap a harvest
if we do not give up.”

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

CaringBridge: Caroline Cutrer
Sunday, July 3rd, 2011 10:09 PM
Caroline has been given three chemo treatments so far. The fourth is scheduled for Tuesday in the spinal fluid & port. According to her doctor, her counts have been lowered considerably. She appears to be doing well, is getting accustomed to the short hair, but is also getting into the wig styling. Candace says she doesn’t want long hair again.
Caroline is receiving lots of attention from family and friends. She is getting out of her room and doing some walking, or shall I say, Sherman is doing the walking pulling Caroline in her wagon. On a daily basis, she wants to go sit in the car, the only familiar thing she has there. As we know Caroline, it is an obvious plot to get a ride home.

Momma’s surgery went better than was hoped for. Her beginning phase of recovery is doing well. If she continues to do well, we will probably be at North Oaks for a week and then North Oaks Cardiac Rehab (Old West Park) for a couple of weeks.
