First Round of Chemo

 I finished the first round of chemo on 12/5 and was discharged from the hospital on 12/6.  From there, my Dad picked me up and took me to College Station and stayed with my little sister, while Mike went back to Dallas and with lots of help from his Dad and friends, took care of the kids, moved back into our house after 10 months and started unpacking.

The first week of Chemo, I just laid on my sister's couch most of the day and just got up to eat and went back to the couch.  My stomach is still pretty swollen (I look like I'm 8 months pregnant) and my energy level was pretty low.  My appetite slowly became better as my little sister cooked some delicious Japanese comfort foods.

This week, I am back in Dallas.  I'm feeling better too.  I have more energy and more of an appetite.  However, just waddling around the house gets me out of breath.  My next chemo is on 12/17 in MDA and will be back in Dallas 12/21.

Please pray for:

• My liver function improves
• My Red Blood Cell Count improves
• My stomach swelling goes down

Thankful for:

• I really hadn't had nausea
• All my friends and family help, thoughts and prayers for me
• We were able to move back into the house
• All my kids and healthy and doing well.

I really appreciate all the thoughts and prayers for our family.  We feel all the love and care for us! Thank you!
