This week was pretty quiet. I saw the nurse practitioner at my visit on Monday...I alternate seeing her with the oncologist. They checked my blood levels (low white cells as expected), and did an exam of the lump (feels softer). She prescribed a new medication for nausea...so hopefully this time I won't get so sick. I've been feeling pretty good this week...some fatigue, but that is being caused by a wakeful baby more than the chemo! I'm heading into chemo #3 this coming Tuesday.
This week we celebrated Emma's 21st birthday! We also attended the DC St. Patrick's Day parade (Lily danced in it with her Irish dance school), visited with friends, spent lots of time outside, and had a normal week of school and activities. Emma is now back at VCU...miss her already.
A huge thanks to Scott and Mary for the use of their laptop! It came in the nick of time...my computer got a virus and bit the dust. The laptop is so much easier, and will be especially nice after surgery when I most likely won't feel like going down to the basement office.
And another huge thanks to everyone who has been pumping milk for Griffin--Denise, Theresa, Lorelei and other wonderful mamas. We have a great supply in our freezer which will last for a while...so we're good for now...but if anyone already has some pumped and ready, we would definitely love to pick it up. I lost some emails when my computer died...so if anyone has been waiting for me to get back to them about milk, please email me at lizhbmom4@comcast.net.
I really appreciate all the phone calls and emails from people, checking to see how I am...it helps a lot to know you are keeping me in your thoughts.
Love you all,
Liz
