CT Scan - waiting results

The Neulasta shot seemed to help A LOT!! My white blood cell count last Monday was very high, praise the Lord. Good thing I was scheduled to be at the doctor's Monday because indeed I was not feeling well -- sore throat, tired, nausea and dizziness. I think it was just sinus drainage, but nevertheless I did have a fever of 100.2. That doesn't sound too alarming but apparently when going through chemo treatments you are advised to call the doctor asap if you have a fever of 100.4 or higher  Because my white blood cell count was/is high my body was/is in a much better position to fight whatever it is that I have. So I have been on antibiotics this past week. I think I spent 3 full days in bed sleeping this past week and then sleeping all night too. Is it possible to sleep too much??

It's very difficult to lay around on the couch and watch Tim do all the "simple" things I normally do -- cook, clean, keep David occupied, etc. It's hard to just be a spectator of Daddy and David's playtime. The tears seem to flow more easily and often these days without cause or reason. Maybe it's because I can't get up and do what I want to do when I want to do it. Maybe because I can't play my family role like I used to. David's laughter, actions and words certainly add sunshine to gloomy moments. Tim finds energy to continually give more than 100% these days while I can hardly give 5%. "For better or worse". I am glad that Tim takes those words very seriously. It's interesting that David has adopted my words, "I just feel like crying" when he can't express what he wants when on the verge of crying.

Lately David helps Mommy and Daddy with words like "Alfred" or "Larry Boy" (Veggie Tales Characters) by asking us, "can you say, 'al' ?" and then he smiles and waits for us to repeat the syllable after him. Then he says, "can you say, 'fred' ?" Once we say the whole word he says, "Alfred. Good job!"  I feel so behind with teaching him because he is apparently ready for more than what I can give him right now!! He is the boy wonder!! (at least to me:-)

One last note...I had my CT scan Friday. (that was my 3rd) I hope to hear something from the doctor the beginning of the week. However my appointment with my oncologist is not until Friday the 23rd so I may have to wait ALL week to find out the results. The scan will let them know if surgery is the next step or another round of chemo.

Our 5 year anniversary is March 24th!!

Reminder to everyone....PRAYER VIGIL March 23 & 24. So please put us (and others in our church suffering from illnesses) on your calendar for prayer!!
