Well, all the side effects have set in. She is just not feeling good at all. Her mouth hurts, her belly hurts, and she has had a fever since yesterday. Because she doesn't feel good, she has asked for no more visitors, when she feels better we can resume visiting. She needs her rest.
The Dr is treating her fever with antibiotics and anti fungal meds, but they are not sure why she has a fever. They have also said she is neutropenic, you can look at the AML website for a definition, (see right side of blog for link).
Please keep her in your prayers, this is the hard part but most of the side effects means the chemo is doing its job.
To update about the boys and Geoff. Geoff is holding up well considering all he has to deal with. He has seemed to have found a balance between taking care of his wife and being a dad. I am proud of him and all he is doing in this difficult situation. The boys are doing good, as well. They pray for their mom to get better everyday, and are adjusting to the new life they are in. We have, because of the generosity of the YMCA, enrolled the boys in the summer program. We felt it would be best for them to have some stability day to day this summer as to where they would be. We are grateful for the scholarship program at the Y.

ReplyDeleteRandi - I pray for your continued strength to focus on the Lord, the Angles, the beauty of life and use this energy to help the medicine destroy the cancer cells and make room for the healthy. You will do this, you can do this.
Geoff - I am so very proud of you to find strength in this unimaginably tough time. As you know, God will walk you, Randi, and the Boys through this most difficult time.
