Happy October 1st everyone!
Nothing exciting to report...Methotrexate just started at 6:15 and will go for 4 hours. Checked in this morning for chemo by myself, all is well again with my health. Thank you for all the love and prayers! Finally back on schedule, 6 more weeks; 5 treatments (after 10:15 tonight, only 4 more! EEEKKK!!). Once the chemo is done tonight I have post-chemo hydration for 48-60 hours to flush it out of my system.
Kinda funny how treatment and this whole situation has become like a job, its a routine just like all of your days with classes or work or whatever you do! I check in at S20, do a blood draw, call report, head up to M50 in another building, hang out while getting pre-chemo fluids, the whole operation it's become so regular it makes me laugh sometimes.
I barely have an eyebrows left, but hey, they will grow back :) only a few more weeks! Sending love to all my family, friends, and anyone who needs a prayer!
X's and O's

Hi Emily. This is Sarah's Mom, and although she was not feeling very well today, she is sleeping now so I wanted to thank you for the incredible love and support you have shown her since her diagnosis. You set such a beautiful example of optimism and courage and faith...and it inspires Sarah even during her down times. She knows that this is a mountain to climb and that there are so many people, like you, who are an encouragement. So, thank you, for all the ways you have blessed all of us who read your blog. Please know that we pray for you, too, and I hope to meet you someday! Peace, Mrs. W.
ReplyDeleteEmily... it is really amazing to think we are actually getting close to the finish line... but we are not done. My stamina is waining, I feel worn out and I can only imagine how you must feel on the "bad" days. We have to keep our eyes on the prize and as Jenn said, "slow down". Let's ride October breezes and change in leaves to November. A new season lies ahead and I am overwhelmed we are able to share it together. Having you home has been a blessing, although you belong in school, we are so happy you have been able to be with us for part of Kenz' senior year and Joe's first as as Wildcat. Silver linings abound....we will disconnect that IV in a few moments and only have a few more to go. Amen. MOMMA!
ReplyDeleteVery close, Emily, very close. Look at this as finals week: head down, no distractions, get through it, and party hearty AFTER. So glad to see that Team Evans continues to be like that girl in the old joke, who, when asked why she was digging through a pile of equine excrement so eagerly, replied, "Well, there must be a pony in there somewhere!" There are billions of prayers flying through the heavens for all of you. I have a good feeling about this.
