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!
Today was a great day for our family. Kolby went to church. It was a challenge , but it was really important for Kolby to go to church today with her dad. She got up, got ready and she looked beautiful. I really wish I would have taken pictures of the girls with their dad, but we were in such a hurry to get off to church that I forgot. Next time I will for sure. She was pretty emotional at church. It was a lot for her to get ready and go to church for the first time in a while. She wanted to arrive a few minutes late, and leave a few minutes early. It is really hard for Kolby to see people, only because of all the different emotions she is feeling right now. She gets very emotional when people hug her and express their love and support. She loves it, but right now, she cries every time she has a new visitor or sees people. So, please do not get offended if Kolby is quiet when you see her or visit with her. It's just how she is right now, and that's ok . Everyone deals wit...
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!
