step by step,

day by day...is how we are taking this journey.

Yesterday's feast left Carmen feeling not so great, and gave her some trouble sleeping. This morning she did feel better, despite the lack of sleep. We had a relaxing morning lounging around the house. Jose and Tom where working from home, and Daniel had work later today, so we all got to hang out. Carmen, Tom and I then went to WholeFoods to stock up the kitchen, which was seriously lacking in supplies. Carmen was her usual self searching the entire produce section for the perfect fruits/veggies, and running around the store. Once she got tired she sat in this cool sitting area/cafe at WholeFoods. We got home and started making lunch as Carmen directed us from the sofa in the living room. We made a great mixed greens salad with radishes, onions, black olives, artichokes, tomatoes in a Carmen-made lemon-mustard vinaigrette. I made a quinoa salad with roasted veggies (red peppers, asparagus, mushrooms, onions) and grape tomatoes. We enjoyed this delicious  family lunch together. Carmen then went to rest some more in bed before hanging out with her friend Kity who stopped by to see her. We had a late dinner (even for Spanish standards) that consisted of zucchini angel hair pancake and a butternut squash with sweet potato soup. After dinner we sat and watched an episode of the newest season of Curb your Enthusiasm, because who doesn't think Larry David is hilarious in his own crazy way.


Carmen also got some beautiful flowers from some very wonderful people. A lovely sunflower to bring her sunshine from Apa, Emily and Anna and an elegant orchid to bring us love and strength from Tom's family. She loves them very much and thanks you all for your thoughts and positive energy.

The feared M-word

 Today I felt the pain of mortality stab me in the heart. I have always been optimistic of my mother’s condition, knowing that with optimism and hope we could battle her cancer and finally overcome her disease. These past few years since her diagnosis of retroperitoneal liposarcoma in October/September of 2005 have been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, getting through it all. I tried to be strong for my mother, show her the strength she has within, assure her that she is doing everything she can to heal herself, and that surely she is on her way to recovery. I thought that in believing in her and her strength that she would be able to overcome anything. With every returning tumor she was better equipped to heal her body, to teach her body to heal itself. I was there supporting her through her surgeries, her trial chemo treatments, always there letting her know that she was on the road to recovery. Today after finishing her second round of a trial chemo that seemed hopefull...

Today we are gathered to recognize the life of caring woman. To many, she was Dr. Carmen Mateo or just Carmen, and to a few of us she was Carmencita (Mari Carmen to her sister who just arrived from Spain), or mom to my brother Daniel and I. She was and still is an inspiration to us all, with her kindness, grace and strength. She was selfless always putting everyone first, whether it was a stranger, a patient, or her family.   As she would say, lo mas feito para mi. Carmen was full of love for the world, always wanting to take care of everyone. She touched the lives of all the patients she encountered while at NIH and in her everyday life. She was the type of person that you would meet once, and after a lengthy conversation, oh how my mother could talk, would make you feel like you were special. She is unforgettable; her inner beauty always radiating through her twinkling eyes and quirky smile. She had this aura of energy surrounding her that captiva...

no bad news is good news

The doctors at Suburban decided to transfer Carmen to Johns Hopkins, and oh what a transfer it was--her ambulance got a flat tire, and her backup ambulance got lost so 2 hours after leaving Suburban she finally arrived at 5am at Hopkins. At Suburban they suspected an infection, but after a CT scan saw that the tumors were slightly compressing the inferior vena cava, which became the prime suspect of the fluid retention. If this was the case they would put in a stent to help keep the vein open. But, luckily the medical oncologists at Hopkins decided to do a scan of the legs to see if anything else was going on.  The scan showed that she has two blood clots one in each of her legs. So, the doctors have decided to do a de-blood-clotting procedure, where they stick a catheter in each of the affected veins and introduce a medicine that will dissolve the clots. Unfortunately, she will have to be in the ICU after this procedure to monitor the effects of the blood thinner closely. Hopefu...
