Round 5 of chemo went well. As always. This time was a little more special, because we were able to celebrate one of the girls' last big chemo days!!! So excited for her. I will miss her being there to talk to, but glad that she is moving on to a more normal time in her life with fresh perspectives.
I've been tired last night, but not that big of a deal. Am up getting a few things done this morning that have been bugging me around the house. Glad for the quiet of the house. I just need quiet sometimes. Especially when I don't feel good.
I can feel the side effects coming on already, but glad that they're not full-blown yet and still praying for them to be minimal. No achiness from the Neulasta yet, but just can feel the upper GI and mouth ickiness coming. Oh well. Just a few days and it will be gone. I'll keep eating while I can.
Tomorrow is Elliott's birthday. He is so excited! We always have homemade buttermilk birthday pancakes on our birthdays around here, so I already have the ingredients and recipe all laid out for Brian. I'm sure he'll be a great pancake chef!
My very good friend has had a flare up with Crohn's over the past few weeks. I was finally able to see her yesterday during her second visit to the hospital. She prefers to call it a "spa treatment". I say we're going to have a real spa treatment very soon. She's facing some tough decisions in her future and we just cried together, saying we're just too young for all of this. Yet we know that God "knows the plans (He) has for (us).", whatever they may be. He is the perfect healer and does everything in His time. It's just hard for us to wait for Him :) But I was reminded yesterday of how blessed I am to have such strong and Godly women in my life. Ones that I know aren't just going to try to sugar coat everything (although that is nice!), but are going to, in some way, remind me of who is in control, during trials and during the good times, and not let me lose sight of that. Thank you ladies!!
