The day after

So far, so good. Mom feels great. Says she doesn't have any symptoms whatsoever. They will put her on 3 days of zofran and decadron as well as phenergan for back up. The trifecta for helping out nausea. They discourage taking Advil/Ibuprofen/Motrin as it can cause issues with clotting, but if she is experiencing any pain, they are more than happy to provide a script for something stronger.

The current plan is to maybe have chemo on Monday and ride out the medication for 3 days hoping that she won't have significant symptoms until later in the week. Then she can rest the weekend and start back up again. She has no plans on sitting at home! Of course, only time will tell. She isn't naive in thinking this will be easy, but she is hopeful that she will be able to maintain as normal a schedule as possible.

Psalm 13:5-6

But I trust in your unfailing love;

my heart rejoices in your salvation.

I will sing the Lord's praise,

for he has been good to me.

Despite it all, we serve a good God. He loves mom more than all of us combined and He will work all of this to His glory!
