My family went to church today while I stayed home. I wasn't feeling well from the chemo. I was able to get some good rest while they were gone. When they returned home Bob told me that he thought Abby and Robert were ready. They had communion at church and the kids were asking a lot of questions on the way home. After we had lunch Bob and I took the kids into our room and talked with them about asking God to forgive them of their sins and getting saved. Both said that they wanted to do that and then individually they prayed, with very little help from us and they both asked for forgiveness and that God would save them from their sins!! We and the Angels rejoiced!!!

Robert started 3rd grade and Abby started 1st grade. Elijah will start his last year of preschool on Thurs. Where did the time go???
Chemo:
Things are going ok. I am tired come the afternoons and I am battling the nausea again. 5 weeks down and only 7 more to go!! I am using a nausea patch this week to see if that works better and only a day out and I am already seeing a difference!! I am more tired but at least I am not nauseated!!!
I saw my LE PT for the first time on Wed. She gave me lots of exercises and I will see her again on Monday. That is when she will do the massage and wrap me. I am going to be sweating like mad!! It is suppose to be near 80 next week and the hot flashes are bad as it is!!! I won't get fitted for a sleeve until a month out of chemo as the steroids are bloating me out like crazy!! My face is all round and puffy!!! I don't want to get fitted for a sleeve and then have to get another one when the puffiness and swelling go down.
Hi Kerrie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family you have! Kids sure do grow fast.
I know the feeling of those yucky steroids, but, thankfully, when you are off of them the swelling and puffiness does go down.
Praying and praying for you girl!! Thank you for the update.
