Doctor's Appointment

We had an appointment with Misty's oncologist earlier this week--on Thursday. He seemed to think things were ok--neither worse nor better than expected. We were told that the worst nausea is in the first few days after a chemotherapy treatment, and then subsides somewhat after that. That seems to be how it happened for Misty. Those first few days after chemo, she seemed to be getting worse, which had me a little worried. But then she seemed to be getting a whole lot better. In fact, Misty felt good enough on Friday to go out and about for a little while, running errands (with her mother--not all by herself), and then out to a dollar-movie after I got home from work. Yesterday, Saturday, she was still feeling well enough and went to LeAndra's soccer game (LeAndra's team won, and LeAndra even scored one of the goals!).

At the doctor's office, we were also informed that rather than being home for three weeks, and then back in the hospital for five days of chemo, that it's a three-week cycle. Or, in other words, home for sixteen days and then chemotherapy for five days. So, it looks like she's going back early next week.

Again, thanks for all the support. Thanks for the meals this week. The meals you prepare for us gives me a little more time with Misty and the kids, and a little less to stress about. Thanks especially for the prayers.

O.K. I love you and am keeping all of you in my prayers, as is my whole family, daily. I'm looking forward to our chick time out to your favorite salad place so we can do some "people Watching" I've tried it alone and let me tell you, it's just not the same, I know it won't be long 'cause you're just not that patient, one of the reasons I love you so much!

so does that mean I am not needed on Thursday day to hang out? I was looking forward to it! Please let me know if Misty will be in for another bout of chemo this upcoming week and if I am still needed for Thurs 9/18!
