Better Days....Thank Goodness!

Sunday was a better day for Kolby. She still didn't feel well enough to get all ready and go to church, but she wasn't as teary and uncomfortable. Her stomach problems eased up and overall she had a much much better day. She was pretty quiet all day. Overly quiet. Honestly, I think Kolby keeps in a lot of emotions, and then in the evening she tends to crash. The one thing I notice the most is how much her bones hurt. She hasn't wanted to take as much morphine lately because of her tummy problems. Her bones even hurt her when she takes morphine, but without it it is even more painful.

Today, Monday, she woke up in a lot of pain. She finally let me get her her pain meds. Stomach issues seems to be gone, or at least she isn't complaining as much. She is also taking her meds much better these days. Which is such a relief to us because there for a while it was a struggle to get her to take them. It would literally take her over an hour to get them down, and now she gets them down within a few minutes. We really cannot complain, Kolby's whole life has been turned upside down, so a few complaints really aren't all that bad. (And I really have to remember that!) Today has been a good day, and it is the last day of her meds. She gets the next two weeks off her meds and chemo, so the rest of the summer should be nice. I know she is really looking forward to that. School starts pretty soon, and she wants to do a little school shopping. Grandpa Thornton loves to help out in that area....and we are so thankful for him!
