As the effects of the chemo have completely worn off since the weekend, Mom has been feeling pretty good. She seems to have had more energy the last 3 days than she normally does :)
Treatment:
Continuing the shots to stimulate stem cells being released from the bone marrow. I think they started testing her blood today to see how her levels are doing. They will monitor every day from now on to determine the prime time for the harvest (which is tentatively scheduled for Monday, but they will base it completely on the test results, so it could be on Sunday - Happy Easter at the hospital. We'll see!)
Prayer:
*She hasn't had a ton of soreness which they told her to expect with the bone marrow releasing. While the lack of discomfort is good, we also want the stem cells to be released like they are supposed to be!
Praise:
* That she is feeling great and really seems to be making the most of feeling good!
And now for a couple of those cute kid pics...
Thought you might like to see a couple of our Easter events thus far:
We took the girls to see the Easter Bunny last Saturday morning at Cero's Candies.
Lucy would not have anything to do with the Easter Bunny no matter how much her sisters tried to bribe her with candy-filled eggs. This was really as close as she would get so I have no pictures of her with EB! Maybe next year!
The girls have been asking for rice krispy treats. So I told mom my plan to make them with the girls this week and "Easter them up" by putting in Easter M&M's. She proceeded to give me such a hard time that I felt like I was doing my children a horrible injustice, so today we made bird's nest treats, complete with chocolate eggs and Peeps. Mmm... they are good!
