6/26
This round of chemo really knocked me out on Thursday and Friday.  I felt miserable both days and had a headache all day Friday.  I was able to relax around the house with ever so helpful boys, and friends who took the kiddos overnight.  By Saturday I started feeling myself again, and was feeling good by Monday.  I had acupuncture Monday and the only request I had for her was to help with my digestive system.  The acupuncture session on Friday did a fabulous job of alleviating my nausea - I didn't even need to take any of the anti-nausea medication after Friday.  My next appointment - a blood draw on Friday to check my white blood cells. 

I have two wonderful boys who are ever so helpful.  Jared has taken over as lawn boy this summer and is doing a fabulous job.  I trim it out and Jared does the rest of the mowing.  Caleb chips in whenever he is asked too.  Scooping Tucker turds is probably their least favorite job.


















After a few days off from exercising, we all went for a mountain bike ride through Prospect Heights Trail Head off of Upper O'Malley on Monday.  It was some tough terrain with a little mud, roots, rocks, and running water.  We all made it - something I couldn't have said 18 years ago when James took me for my first mountain bike ride.  Sunday was our 17th Anniversary!  I'm a blessed girl to be married to such a wonderful, supportive man.  It sure makes going through this a lot easier.  We had a great anniversary - church, family time, and friends.

Smiling, because it is all downhill from here!
