Kolby had a great day today. She was able to go to church for her cousins blessing and over for the brunch. She is feeling good mentally and physically. Hopefully the worse of the side effects of the chemo is over. She starts school tomorrow. She told me she is looking forward to the social part but not the work. She also informed me today that her eyelashes are growing back...so that means I do not have to wake up extra early to help her with the "falsies"! I will still get up and make sure she has a yummy breakfast before she leaves in the mornings. I sure hope Kolby can handle a full day of school. Good luck tomorrow Kolby....I will miss you!
I want thank Kristi and Kylie for designing these T-Shirts. At first I didn't want my name on the shirt. I really do not like having the attention on me. But, after I saw them I really liked them. Thank you Kristi and Kylie. Also, thank you so much Vicki and Dale for making the t-shirts, you did a great job. I just love them. Thank you!!! This has been really hard on me. I wish I felt better and I want my healthy body back. I miss hanging out with my friends and doing the things I like. I also do not like it when I feel sick. The blisters in my throat and mouth are gone right now, but when I take chemo again I know they will come back. It has been nice feeling good these last few days. I haven't had to have chemo this week because of the scans. It is such a good feeling to feel good again. I never really appreciated my healthy body till now. The chemo makes me feel horrible. I have no energy. I feel nauseous all the time and I get horrible headaches. They hurt so bad. I get s
I am so glad she feels up to going to school--even if it can only be part-time. Dana, you are going back to school too, right? I hope you both have a great start!
ReplyDeleteYes Kristin I am planning on going back to school. I have to, I am the one with the insurance. But I plan on taking off when she has chemo. My admnistration is great and understanding. When Kolby has a rough day I am going to be with her. Kolby comes first. It is going to be hard leaving her and going back to work. But she is excited to go to school and hang out with her friends. We are going to take this year one day at a time. If she has to quit school for a while I will too. We just hope and pray that the next 9 months of treatment go well with no surprises. She starts a new type of chemo in a couple months, and we do not know how her body will react to it. Again....one day at a time.
ReplyDeleteI love ya Kristin...thanks for all your love and support!
That's funny because "one day at a time" is my new motto in life too. I guess that's all we can do sometimes, right?
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for Kolby to go back to school. No doubt there might be some overwhelming days. But I think it will be encouraging for her to go and feel the support of all of her friends and classmates.
Good luck to everybody tomorrow!
Good luck at school Dana and Kolby. We think about you guys lots and definitely keep you in our prayers. I agree with the One Day at a Time. We could probably all benefit from that sometimes. Love ya!
