I took the kids to the dentist yesterday. No, I'm not grasping at straws for blog topics. The last time I took the kids to the dentist was January 28th, which was the day after my diagnosis. That day I stood almost trembling as the receptionist asked, "Would you like to make their 6 month appt?" August 1st was set. I had literally no idea what lay ahead of me, this was before I even met with any doctor. I kinda wish I could give that version of myself a little hug. Just to say, "It's going to be really hard, but God will never leave you and he iis going to move mountains." It's been six months since then. It's hard to express how many mountains he's moved, rainbows he's sent, and lights he's turned on. You are all apart of it. I thank you, and would hug you too if I could.
What I Know God is Good My last chemo is August 23rd and I have my appt early Sept to set my schedule for radiation I am rapidly typing this in the chemo room before my Benadryl kick in and I get sleeeppppyyyy The ceiling panels in the clinic are decorated by survivors. I am starting to think about how to decorate mine. #rainbowisamust What Made Today Normal Daniel has an ear infection. He has to take antibiotics, and he often says "I don't wike medicine." Sigh. I don't "wike" mine either buddy. #mymedicineshouldbepinktoo Praises I continue to have no neuropathy I was able to fall asleep by midnight last week I'm back to my pre-cancer weight The kids got to come to the clinic with me yesterday to get my labs done (see pic below). It was good for them to see the clinic and meet my nurses (see photo below). Daniel woke up Friday with high fever and trip to doctor revealed yucky ear infection. I am thankful I stay home with them. I am thankful I am well enough to take care of them. I am thankful every.single.day that I am the one with cancer, not them.

Chemo nurses have a very special gift, and we come to love them so very much. I cried on my last day of chemo. The reason being, I was just plain and simple, going to miss them and their perfect care.
