I sit here in the quiet early morning overwhelmed by the outpouring of help and love from our friends that we have received, especially in the last difficult week.. I know I keep saying this, but until you actually experience and feel this kind of deep love, not as an idea, but in the everyday experience of receving it, can you truly know and feel that this is what is the most important thing in life. I don't know what LucyAnn and I have done to receive such kindness.I don't know what we would do without your support.
The last week or so has been very difficult for LucyAnn. She was admitted to the hospital for 3 days as a result of experiencing fever, high heart rate and general weakness. She was not able to eat or drink very much due to nausea which exaserbated the effects of the chemotherapy. All test and labs showed that all her symptoms were the result of the chemotherapy, and after receiving all necessary fluids she recovered well and actually got back her appetite and has been eating and drinking anything without nausea or stomach upset, a very positive development!
LucyAnn is still pretty weak but she is home now and bulking up on high protein and high acalorie foods to get her weight and strength up to get ready for next round of chemo. One unfortunate event was her falling the night after returning home from the hospital which resulted in a broken collarbone, which means 4-6 weeks healing with her arm in a sling. The stars must have been lined up wrong on that night. Here's hopng to no more "surprise" events like that. LucyAnn and I remain strong and hopeful.
