Response to Chemo

Sorry for not updating the blog last night! So now we kind of know how chemo affects my moms body. On Wedsnesday, 2 days ago she had her first treatment. She came home and was feeling good and looked good but as the night went out it wasn't so great. Wedsnesday night was her worst time by far so far. Yesterday was okay. She had her appointment to go get bloodwork done and to learn how to give herself medicine shots. She got there thanks to the help of her sister Sheryl since she can't currently drive. Today is an okay day as well. She will stand up every once in awhile for a couple minutes but as soon as she lays down she falls asleep. It just completly takes all the energy out of her. She has slept a lot and always fades in and out so you will be talking to her later and she won't remeber what happened earlier. For breakfast she had a popsicle. Mom was so amused that that was actually what she was eating for breakfast. Since than she's had cheese and crackers in the afternoon to get some protein, a vanilla and chocalete Wendy's frosty, more ice cream, and a slurpie.Techniqually she is supposed to be rinsing with baking soda and salt (yucky combo)! Buttt, because it is so gross she trys not to do it naughty :P I thank the Appeldoorn family for bringing us a full dinner on Wednesday and all the other people that have helped out. My mom has recieved a ton of cards and I know she really likes them and appreciates them :) I will update you later on how she is doing at that point but for now we hope the worst part is over. Have a good night, It's Friday!

Side note: I know commenting is still an issue. I am working on switching to a different blog so that the commenting does work. I will try to finish that really soon and I will let you know that information as soon as I get it all sorted out.

Also, if you have any idea of foods besides ice cream that she might like to eat, her taste buds are off and it is really hard finding something she will like. So, if you have an idea, please email the idea to me at : dancegirl_1996@yahoo.com. Any other comments can also be sent there and I will read them to her. Thanks!
