Sun is always shinning

Hey everyone! It's me again, and I'm feeling much better today. Today is a good day because I will be discharged from the hospital! The plan is now looking like I don't come back for more chemo treatment for about two more weeks! In 2 weeks when I come back, I will get a different type of chemo drug...still fighting the little c in my leg. 


My mom says she can already sense the healing going on in my leg, say goodbye to all those bad cells! Although I have a long battle ahead of me, the doctors say the worst has just come and gone...being diagnosed, leaving my friends and my 2nd home, SLU, and starting my first chemo treatment. It all really wiped me out and I've been sleeping so much lately. Momma says its a great thing for me to catch up on some sleep. 

As far as appetite goes, slowly but surely, it's starting to come back. I have been nibbling on a small bagel and some yogurt this morning. More good news is that I'm disconnected from my fluids! It's all up to me now to make sure I'm drinking enough water and continue nibbling some food. Overall, today is a much better day than yesterday, or the day before. I like to think I'm on the up and up and things will get better in the next few days. 


Beating through this first round of treatment was really hard because it made me feel so sick, but I have so many preventative drugs to help stop that feeling. I'm just anxious to get home! Wish I could have left a little sooner this morning so I could have caught part of my little brother, Joe's, basketball game. Sending you lots of luck and love bro! Go bulldogs! 


So, here's to the end of my first stay in the hospital for chemo, many, many more weeks to come, but I've got some renewed energy and strength. I want to take a minute to thank all of you reading this blog, it means so much to me that you care. The prayers, the cards, the nice words, all help me to stay strong and know that I will get through this. It's all in God's plan and thanks to all of you, I'm keeping my head up. Must say, the most thanks goes out to my amazing family. Without my incredible parents with me through every step of the way, my beautiful sister who helps wash my hair and make sure I don't look too awful, and Joe who knows exactly how to put a smile on my face when I need it the most. Please don't ever take for granted the amazing support that each one of you have around you too. Just keep your hearts and minds open to others, and you can see love anywhere. 

For those of you know have not met Teamevans yet, this is my foundation who always know how to make me feel better. So blessed to have such an amazing family! Make sure you let your families know how much you appreciate them too.
