Thanks to you all for dropping me a line and letting me know that you are checking in :) It is hard to write this everyday without anyone just letting me know that someone is reading.... :) So thanks again! Well Friday went okay. She still isn't feeling up to par and so it is hard for me to watch her get chemo when she isn't feeling good. We think that it has a lot to do with the chemo pills because when we read the side effects Wow, is there a lot! But the oncology nurse kept asking her if she was okay and she kept saying that she was fine. The nurse also was telling me how strong of a girl she is. He said that he has been amazed watching and treating her. Which didn't surprise me in the least! :) So we headed home and I was so happy that we were done for the week..... On the way home though she laid her head on my shoulder and that just makes me choke up. She will always be my little girl and I so wish that I could take this all away for her. So I stay up late watching a movie with Rob thinking that I could sleep in and I get a call at 5:15 am from Jess, that she isn't feeling good and that she has a temp!! So Shane heads over to pick her up and I start to get ready as then we head to Rogue's ER. They did all sorts of blood tests and a chest x-ray to make sure that everything was okay but she still had a temp when we leave but not as bad. So they tell us to keep an eye on her and if she gets bad again we will have to go back there or into Sky Lakes. She has also been having shortness of breath, chest pains, chills, fatigue and sweats. This doesn't surprise me that she has been having symptoms and not telling anyone but I can only scold her so much. As it turned out they did decide that it must be her pills because they couldn't find anything else out in the blood cultures. We did find out though that her white blood count had come back up since Tues so that was awesome news in all of this. It kinda amazed me with all the chemo that she has been getting and it still came up but it goes back to her being the strong girl :) But anyways I will let you all go. Thanks so much for checking in. I'm beat and ready to put my feet up. Please keep her in your prayers. Love you all, Cindi
With two little ones running aroung I don't have much time to comment, but I am reading and praying for Jessi. I appreciate getting to read your updates.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindi,
ReplyDeleteI've been out of town so much lately and have not had access to a computer, but I hope you understand that even though I'm away, Jess is ALWAYS in our prayers and all of you are thought of and prayed for. It sounds that even though Jess is having some nasty side effects, she is still improving! Thank you, Lord! She is such an amazing young woman. Richard tells me stories of when he coached her in basketball, and even before we met, I just knew she was a woman after my own heart (must take after her mother)!
Cindi, I understand what you mean about her always being your little girl. What a wonderful mother you are and Jess is so blessed to have the loving, caring parents she was born to. Even though she's a young woman with a husband, I'll bet having her mother's arms wrapped around her make her feel so much better! What a blessing you are, Cindi!
Keep strong, my friend. I know that God hears us and continues to guide all of us through this chaotic and challenging life we are presented with. Remember to pray and put all of your trust in Him and the wonderful doctors He has provided.
Always keep looking ahead and know that all of you are loved and cared for.
Prayers, super big hugs, and much love always,
Kimberley, Richard, and Morgan
