Evening everyone!
Had a big day of chemo today...We were over in Medford by 8:15 this morning.. Had blood drawn, blood tested, doctor visit and then IV chemo.. Chemo went well but the doctor said that we were wrong on the time left for chemo..We thought that she had a year left and she said that it was a year and a half so we will double check with the main doctor in January with that visit. Bummed Jess and I out but we will just plug along and do it cause we have to! Blood at least was stronger this time so that was good. Liver was still a little high but they are keeping an eye on it.. Then it was off to spinal.. It is always a slow deal it seems... They had a little problem getting the needle in so Jess was sore and had a massive headache afterwards so they always have her lay on her back for at least an hour to make sure that the back gets shut back up and so no spinal fluid leaks out. She had that happen once and it was horrible and she had to have a blood patch put in... So hopefully that doesn't happen again. Well I'm off for now. Thanks for checking in. Love to all. Please keep Jess in your prayers. Cindi
Hi Cindi and Jessi,
ReplyDeleteAs the saying goes, "It's all good." I guess no matter what life hands us, it's always helpful to make the best of the situation. I always believe the old cliche that "God doesn't give us more than we can handle." Another six months of chemo to ensure one's health is worth so much. So nice to hear her blood was stronger this time! We're so relieved to hear that Jess made it through another spinal - what a gal! God bless ya, Jessi! You are an inspiration to so many of us and make many of us think!
Hang in there, everybody. It's just a matter of relatively short time that all of this is behind you. Keep looking to God for guidance and strength, as He will always be there, no matter what!
Much love, big hugs, and lots of prayers,
Kimberley, Richard, and Morgan
