MORE THAN 24 HOURS AFTER CHEMO

Mom slept from the time she got home yesterday ( 1:30ish ) until 8:30 this morning. Now, we did get her up a couple times to take her temp, make her drink and try to get her to eat a little bit. She did fine, although her temp got to 100.4 and you need to contact the Dr if it goes to 100.5. Needless to say it did not but I think making her drink helped. Yesterday was a total wash and she said this morning that she has NEVER felt that tired and she could not explain how it felt, except she just needed to close her eyes.

She got up this morning by herself at 8:30 and she has done fine all day. She has been drinking, eating (not a ton but good), no nausea or anything! Dad and I had to tease and say "yeah sure you are feeling good because you know Alan is coming up tonight"!

In all honesty she has good color and NO side effects. She is not out running around or anything but has a good head on, if you know what I mean. I dont know what it is but cold foods do sound good to her. However, Paige woke up this morning and made scrambled eggs with chees and toast and mom said "oh no" but tasted it and BAM ate! Thanks Paige love you! She even brought me down a plate while I was working.

The wig place we are going to called today and had a cancellation for tomorrow so we have an appointment at 1pm tomorrow and Alan will be able to be here.

At the moment I have her upstairs snapping green beans that I picked from the garden. I guess if she is going to lay around she might as well do something right?

We are all so happy this went well and will continue to keep you posted. Love you all and have a great weekend!

  1. So glad to hear she is doing so well. I'm going to bring some Little Sweetheart cookies over the beginning of the week. Plus I picked up a couple of small things in Amish country for you guys. Nothing too exciting but I need to get them dropped off.
