Things are definitely getting more difficult, as is expected from the bombardment of chemo and radiation. I'm pretty weak, and my mouth hurts like a combination of mumps and strep throat. Eating is becoming increasingly difficult; even talking is painful. I spiked a fever today. I'll admit, I was a little cocky going into it thinking I wouldn't get a fever. I made through my other chemo rounds without one. But, well, so it goes. I'm on antibiotics and they're doing a full work up on my blood, lungs, etc. I consider the little victories today like the fact that I got a shower, took 2 short walks around the unit, and even got on my stationary bike for a bit. Hoorah! I'm so grateful for the cards that keep pouring in, the visits, and the countless prayers offered in our behalf. Yesterday I let myself get discouraged, today I felt a little fear...gotta feel those feelings then LET THEM GO. A friend brought me a little gift today to help me keep my kiddos close to my heart. I was going to post a pic, but am technologically impaired right now. It's a little necklace with a circle with each of my kid's first initial. I was so grateful for the sweet gesture and immediately put it on. Picture later. :) As always, we cannot express our gratitude enough for your love, support, and prayers.
Janna- just wanted you to know that I have been thinking alot about you and that you are in my prayers. I love how in talking about fears you said to just "LET THEM GO". What a good reminder for all of us. Thank you for being such a great example of faith!
