Jess looks really good this morning. She at well at breakfast and lunch. I went to the store yesterday and bought her some frozen meals and snacks (goldfish crackers, suckers, vitamin waters, etc)...just in case she doesn't like what they are having :) I have to be careful when I buy certain items since she is on a low bacterial diet. However, I do want to help keep her appetite and strength up, so thought I would try to buy things that would improve her appetite. She had 3 shots of pediatric chemo around 11 am today and so we are hoping that it doesn't make her sick. They would like us to watch out for headaches, which could be an indication of a blood clot in the brain, but they do not think that is likely...thankfully!!! They had us ice both of her shoulders before they gave her shots, since they are known to hurt and burn. She said that the shots only made her arms feel really heavy and weighed down. She started to notice some hair falling out today. She is a little upset, but I told her we saw a wig shop not far away. I told her that I would pop in tomorrow and see what they had. She would like a cute upbeat short one.
Thanks for following her blog and seeing how she is doing. Thank you for all the prayers, keep them up!!
Love to all,
Cindi

ReplyDeleteHi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Arlene Olsby. I'm a sister to your Grandmother, Mary Ann. Just wanted to let you know I can relate somewhat to what you are going through. I had lung cancer last year which was cured with radiation. Recently I found out there were new cancer cells in 3 of the lymph nodes, so I am also going through chemotherapy and radiation. However, you certainly have a tougher road to climb than I do.
Having a positive attitude is a big plus in fighting something like this. I'm sure it will be hard at times to be positive, but with all the prayers coming your way, including mine, I know you can beat this.
Hang in there!
Arlene
