Just an easy 3. Nothing remarkable. This week has been a little hectic. Caleb was sick Monday and Tuesday, and when I got back to school, my sub had not really followed my lesson plans (which makes me a little mad, but they were complicated). So I had to reteach some stuff and it throws my whole schedule off. I need some advice from anyone who has it: My SIL has been battling breast cancer since last April. She finished chemo last month and is currently cancer-free. However, she still has to have her ovaries removed, wait a month, then have 6 weeks of radiation and then have reconstructive surgery after another month or so. And all this has been delayed because she currently has pneumonia. And for some reason, she has latched onto a statistic that isn't accurate anymore, that she has a 50% chance of surviving over 5 years (except I think she views it as a 50% chance of dying). No amount of talking can convince her that the statistic is not correct.
She's fighting depression. Don't know if she's doing anything for it (or even if she can right now), but that's beside the point. I'd like to extend a nice gesture towards her. My brother intimated that just taking her to lunch would be enough to help cheer her a little, but I was trying to figure out something else to do. I'm not one for grand gestures, but lunch seems to fall flat. Anyone who has been in her situation or mine have any ideas?
