BRIAN STAYED WITH ME AND DIDNT GET MUCH MORE SLEEP THEN ME, IS GUESS JUST THE STRESS OF EVERYTHING IS COMING TO A HEAD. BUT WE ARE ON TRACK NOW LET ME TELL YOU. THE AM STARTED OUT WITH A BLOOD TRANSFUSION, FOLLOWED BY MY 2ND ROUND OF CHEMO. THE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST BROUGHT IN A BIKE FOR ME TO RIDE CUZ THERE IS NOT ALOT OF RM TO WALK AND THEY REALLY RECOMMEND THE LESS GERMS THE BETTER SO THEY DONT WANT ME AND MY FRIEND VISITING EACH OTHERS RMS AND A VERY SHORT HALLWAY FOR WALKING. ITS 8:30 AND I AM GETTING CHEMO NUMBER 3 OUT OF 16. MOM IS HERE WITH ME, BRIAN AND KAYLA WENT HOME THIS AFTERNOON. COY AND HANNAH WENT TO THE CAREGIVERS MEETING WITH MOM TONITE LUKE COULDNT COME IN, I CANT SEE THE LITTLE ONES UNTIL I AM AN OUTPATIENT IN A MONTH OR SO.MY COUNTS ARE STILL GOOD EXCEPT THE RED BLOOD SO I COULD HAVE GONE OUTSIDE TODAY BUT I AM GETTING FLUIDS (GAINED 7 POUNDS SO FAR) EVERYDAY NOW, SO WOULD HAVE HAD TO PULL THE POLE AROUND AND COVER UP FROM HEAD TO TOE TO PROTECT FROM THE SUN, THEN THE DAY JUST GOT AWAY FROM ME SO I WILL BE RIDING THE BIKE TONITE. I'M SO GLAD THAT I'M FELLING WELL ENOUGH TO BLOG THEY SAY NEXT WEEK I WONT FEEL SO GOOD. HAVE A GREAT WEEK, AND REMEMBER TO BLOG, I LOVE HEARING FROM EVERYONE. THANKS AGAIN, LOVE YA BRENDA
Brenda,
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't been blogging lately but have had a house full of bikers and golfers for a week. I am starting to get my life back on track and getting work done.
Hopefully you will get some restfull sleep tonight. I can't tell you not to be scared or worried about what you will be going through in the next week but I can tell you that if God has heard any of our prayers that your life will change forever. You will come out of this stronger, healthier, happier and more beautiful than ever. I know you are tied from all you are going through but keep up the possitive attitude and thoughts because the light at the end of this awful tunnel is close and your life will get back to normal. I will call you when I get to Denver on Friday or Saturday and see if you are allowed visitors or not. Talk to you later. Charlene
Brenda,
ReplyDeleteYour blog date says July 12 instead of August 12. I know what you are doing---you are turning back time. Just keep going until I am 30 or so. HAHA Charlene
Hi Brenda, trying to get this blogging thing figured out (may take a while). sounds like they are keeping you very busy and out of trouble. You are a lucky person to have your mom and family with you for a great support group. Love you and keep doing great, looking forward to seeing your smiling face around town. you are in our prayers...Tom & Jo Ann
ReplyDeleteGood evening! I decided to check one more time before going to bed to see if you had updated. I am so glad you did. Are you journaling? There will be days in the future that you will want to remember- and you won't be able to if you don't journal now. Too much is happening, and your brain will not remember the blessings of each day later on.
ReplyDeleteA prayer for you from Psalm 143:7,8 "Answer Brenda speedily, O Lord; her spirit fails! Do not hide your face from her, Lest she be like those who go down into the pit. Cause her to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You does she trust; Cause her to know the way in which she should walk, For she lifts up her soul to You." May God bless you with restful sleep, and may your dreams be sweet, my friend.
Love ya, Joyce

Hey Sissy... we hope your day is going good. You were so up beat last night, I'm so proud of you!!! They may say you won't feel good next week... but so far you've proven them wrong every time! Coy and I had put a prayer request in for you at our church. the sweetest man called and told us that they prayed for you on Tuesday at their church group... so awesome. He prayed with me on the phone for you... it was awesome. God is really working on for you girl! Keep your chin up... i hope to see you tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWe love you
Hannah and Co
Just tried to call and the line is busy so that is great. The more support the better.
ReplyDeleteI went to Nick and Brookes for supper last night to celebrate Nicks Birthday. Can't believe he is 29. I must have been a child mother.
Hope your day was great. One day closer. It is so good to hear all the prayers coming your way. It certainly lifts you up.
Talk to you later.
Love ya,
Vickie
Hi, I just hate that you have to go thru all this stuff but hopefully it will go quick and you will get well and go on with your life. Talked to Leigh and they are stressed to the max with volleyball, football, finding a babysitter and being concerned about you and Annie. They did find someone to watch the kids till I can get down there and who knows when that will be. That was a relief tho! I'm still trying to get the house sold and trying to figure out what to pack and what needs to stay for a while. I really just want to be done but I don't want to do any of it. How's your mom doing? I know it's hard to keep your chin up but I know you will. Love you, Amy
