Woke up this morning with nausea, not awful but noticeable. Took day 2 meds and went back to bed. Woke again at 6:00 with nausea more noticeable and took the as needed stuff for nausea. Feel better but high fiber diet seems to be keeping my innards humming. That’s okay though, will see how we go tomorrow. Plan to take it easy today.
Blessings!
Every day God sends the joys in the midst of the yucky stuff. Today it came in the form of another brother (who is celebrating a birthday today) coming to visit with his family including my Allejah and my oh so grown up Livy! They were actually able to pop in briefly at the hospital. Coming on the heels of a day that had already delivered a mix-up with admitting and a consequent delay. This coupled with an adverse reaction to one of the chemotherapy drugs and a deaccess of my port, this brief but fun visit was great! Through it all, Huey remained a steadying force as we met each challenge. I am grateful, oh so grateful!
Likely time to depart infusion center: 8:30p tonight!
Blessings!
Chemotherapy has started! Things are swimming along, not fun for sure but I am grateful that I seem to be tolerating the treatment at this point. Grateful for His mercies!
Blessings!
A little bit of doubling up because of the chemo schedule bearing down upon us in the morning. I don’t know if I am going to be able to post as consistently as I have, might feel a little too yucky!
So here goes…

Today I am grateful that he loves me and he has for nearly a quarter of a century, and he still does!

I am grateful and I admit sometimes a little annoyed that he engages with the details, mostly I am grateful:)

18 years and counting, yay for us that we made it, chemo and all. Thanks for hanging tough with me babe, I love you!
I am so grateful that he loves the Lord. I often think about the cancer diagnosis and wonder how people get through it without God and family. I continue to be unbelievably grateful that Huey sees everything, including the cancer diagnosis through the lenses of our faith and that makes it manageable. Thanks for helping me hold on to God’s unchanging hand!
Blessings!
I am grateful that Huey has a good brain and will think through the details of our lives. Top on our agenda now is the upcoming chemo schedule. He is thinking about all the angles, nutrition, discomfort, logistics for the boys. His approach is so helpful because this process is getting overwhelming for me and having a calm steady head is key to making the right decisions. Thank you for providing that calm and stability. Happy Memorial Day All!
Blessings!
I am grateful that you are a strong confident man and you don’t let me get away with stuff. You are perfect for me, not because we are either of us perfect but I believe we together were and continue to be God ordained and though we have rough patches like anyone else I believe God made us for each other and that’s enough. Thanks for sticking with us.
Yesterday was a great day at church but was also a little sad for me. As we drove to church I realized that it is possible that I could miss Ben’s 5th grade clap out, that is the day for the second week of chemo. I have prayed about it and I believe I may be able to swing it, please pray with me. I find that I can handle quite a bit if I can keep things pretty normal for the boys.Jesus is Enough!
Blessings!
I am grateful that my husband enjoys many of the simple things in life. A good home-cooked meal, walks with the family and playing or watching basketball with the boys. I am grateful that he has standards but is not a high maintenance kind of guy.
I am super excited about this sabbath because it might be the last for a few weeks depending on my reaction to chemotherapy that is scheduled to start 5/27. Please pray that the usual side-effects will be greatly minimized. Looking forward to an amazing day in church today. Happy Sabbath All!
Blessings!
I am grateful for his peace. He remains unruffled through so much, I hope he is rubbing off on me.
I continue to recover from the latest procedure. Super tiring night, was awake more than I slept. Happy Friday All!
Blessings!
Yes, 10 more days until our anniversary. Celebrations may be low key on 6/1 but we planned and executed a fantastic celebration last weekend, so that’s okay. Today, I am grateful again for my husband’s patience and his commitment to me. Yesterday he waited and waited at the hospital for my surgery to end and for me to recover. All this, after getting up at 5:30 to get ready and get me to the hospital and waiting patiently even when I got crabby during a discussion with the surgeon. Now he is up and on his way with Ben to do Universal Studios all day with a bunch of 5th graders, that’s commitment! What a blessing I have been given!
I am recovering from the port placement that was done yesterday. I am in a little pain but I have meds to manage and in a few days the bloating ect. should decrease. Have a great day All!
Blessings!
