Happy Easter


The easter bunny came by my house a day early and left a wonderful basket for my 4 kids! They were thrilled this morning. We are headed to Grandma Leota's for an easter lunch later, the sun is shining, and life feels good.

My two youngest are outside now hiding and hunting eggs for each other! (Its the chocolate for breakfast that I am worried about!)

I am preparing for the final chemo. I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday, the chemo on Thursday, and a "rest" day on Friday. Then I will start the process of feeling better! The idea that they won't be "zapping" me again is wonderful. I am tired of being tired.

After that last photo I thought I would post what it really looks like. This is the chemo in the IV drip bags that is connected to my port - an "input" in my chest so they don't have to do an IV in my veins each time. It really is not bad and I don't feel anything. It just hits me later...

I hope you all have a happy easter and get a chance to get out into the sunshine!

After today only ONE more to go!


It is 10:30am and I've started the chemo download. There is something that they give me for nausea and it makes me dizzy. Actually... it makes me feel like this....

Hee hee!

I am really looking forward to being done with this part of this process. The side effects are really not a lot of fun. And I want my immune system healthy - it seems like my kiddos are always coughing or something! I am hoping to spend as much time with them next week during spring break as possible. I miss them more than anything. I am thankful for all the people who have helped take care of my boys while I concentrate on getting healthy.
