As we were told, day one and possibly day two after treatment wouldn't b so bad because of all the anti nausea drugs and steroids given before chemo. Saturday evening I started to feel nauseated so I went to bed pretty early. Id like to say Sunday morning I woke up, but I didn't. I stayed in bed til noon then woke up to eat then back down for a nap. I felt like I had run a marathon and was very weak. Not that I would know what a marathon feels like but you get the picture. I had been taking anti nausea meds but I don't think I had eaten enough with them. I woke up around three to go to the bathroom and I was sitting on the toilet looking at my cute toenails, when I suddenly became very sweaty and nauseous. I fell to my knees and remembered heaving into the shower and then...whammy I must have passed out for a few seconds. Then I came to and realized I had fallen and was laying in my vomit...Yucky!!!! I hollered for Jake and he came right up and to the rescue. He helped me clean up and get in the bath. I washed my hair and face and I felt much better. After that I had a yummy dinner that I was able to keep down, (thanks to the Finkens). The night went well and I was feeling like I had a little energy back. I was able to bath and get kids to bed and that is an accomplishment in this state. :)
This morning was good. I feel very blessed to have been able to have the strength to get my girls ready for school, do a load of wash and feed my sweet Taylor. I know all the prayers that are being said on our behalf are helping us. Thank you all so very much. I get numerous emails, texts and calls everyday telling us that people are praying for our family. The power of prayer is REAL!!!! I am so thankful for a loving Heavenly Father who knows me and what I can and cannot handle. I love my husband and sweet daughters so very much and it is in times like these that the little things make me so happy.
Also I think I need Life Alert.... Until now I thought this a funny and also sad commercial... Not so funny anymore!!! I only hope my sweet Jake will accept the other part on the respondent end. So much for BFF necklaces I was gonna buy us. These are the way to go, for now. XO
