Today the family attended the funeral for Florence Mortale. This is Joe's Mom (Josephine's) Sister-in-Law. She passed away on Friday after she had a stroke a few weeks back. Florence had been in the hospital at the same time as Joe over the last few weeks. She had a short illness prior to the stroke and has been in hospice the last week. Our love goes out to the Mortale family and we will miss Aunt Florence very much.
Joe was up to attending both the wake last night and funeral today. Joe continues to feel well and is still eating well. I witnessed him eating a good sized portion of macaroni and cheese yesterday and Nico reports he ate very well today at the funeral dinner (a half of a sandwich, some chips, salad and cake!) He also ate some candy...it is good to see him eating solids and not needing to only have soup! He continues to get his TPN feedings every 2 days.
Joe's appt with the oncologist got postponed to tomorrow because of the funeral so we will know the results of the PET scan, etc late tomorrow.
