Today is Thursday, 6 days since my first chemo treatment. Yesterday was the roughest day so far. Tuesday I was doing better and thinking ok, I can handle this, and then yesterday wham--I was sick from the time I got up. I have gotten some medicine from the doctor and that is helping. I am just very weak and nothing sounds good to eat. I did work all day yesterday and am at work today. Some of our adopted kids and grandkids were here last night from Georgia and I so wanted to enjoy them. I was able to sit in the chair and talk some, but not as active as I have always been with the boys. It was good to see them, get to hold them, and love on them.
Ashley, my older daughter, has tickets to the Texas Ranger game tonight. So, the four of us are going to the game and relax and enjoy it. Hopefully, I will be able to feel good enough to enjoy the evening. I have to tell you how proud I am of my family. My husband, Gary, has been wonderful going through this with me. He is giving up foods with me that I can no longer eat. Our daughters, Ashley & Allyson, have been awesome--from coming and cleaning house--to buying me fake eyelashes and scarves. My mom came and helped clean house and brought me some hats. She is ready to come anytime I need her to be with me. Gary's parents and family
have been there for us and ready to help in anyway. My family is awesome. I knew I loved my husband and daughters, but this has given me a whole new love and respect for them.
They are so strong in the Lord and prayer warriors. When you go through cancer, God does change your way of thinking. I will take each day and learn what God wants for me this day--
This is the day that the Lord has made and I will be glad in it.
Until next time--Look up and keep your eyes on Jesus.
