2nd Chemo down
The weekend was ok. A little rough but not as bas as last time.
I had fluids and nausea meds on Friday, Saturday and Monday. I should have done them on Sunday too but I was trying to be tough and push through it.
I slept a lot. I was in bed just about all day Friday through Sunday. Thanks for mom! She took care of the kids, even played football with Will!
Today we went to the mall for a little bit because we all had cabin fever. I got "The elf on the shelf" for the boys. If you haven't seen this and you have kids, it's amazing! The elf sits somewhere in your house and watches over the kids and flys to the North Pole each night to report to Santa. The next day the kids have to find him, so you need to move it, because he went to the N. Pole. The only rule is they can't touch him. Now Will is a devious little thing. I figured for sure he'd touch it in 3 seconds. It was hillarious...he was sitting on the coffee table reciting his Santa wish list for him, Nathan, Mommy, Daddy, etc. Telling him "secrets" too. It's $30 at book stores, Hallmark, toy stores. You have to search for it, they sell out, Jason said he's been looking for it for 3 days.
Anyway, I'm feeling ok. Still tired and like I'm pregnant, which I'm not, but the morning sickness part sucks.
This week will be focused on finishing Christmas shopping and wrapping presents! Aghhhhhh, I can't believe it's almost here!
Love,

2nd Chemo
Today was good. I picked up mom @ 11 a.m. We met Angela for lunch at Chili's and then went back to the house for a few minutes.
Chemo went better today. I had the goofy drugs that make me funny and sleepy (you can probabaly tell by my typing). The nurse added my chemo in with a bag of fluid to make it go faster. Usually I have 1 bag of fluid, then the chemo, then another bag of fluid. We were done an hour earlier which was great. I took about an hour nap during the chemo and was raring to go.
Mom and I went to Wal-Mart, my home away from home, to pick up some things. She said I was wandering in a daze from the drugs and just so happy. Ha,ha...very funny.
When we got back, Jason was frying a turkey which turned out great. The kids came home from my in-laws around 7:30 and they were so excited to see Nonni. She has a play date with them to play football tomorrow.
I have fluids at 9:30 to help combat any nausea.
I'll update again later this weekend to tell you how it goes. On the positive side, no hair loss yet! I had already been bald for 2 weeks last time.
Love
