1/2 Human Again
I am back, well sort of. It has been a really rough, terrible couple of days! I don't think I have ever prayed, cried and pleaded with God for relieve and mercy, more in my life. The nausea is indescribable even with the medicine I was given. I got my pump removed yesterday morning and it was such a relieve not to be hooked up to something 24/7. I finally decided to call the doctor last night and let him know that the anti-nauea meds were not getting it! He called me in an addition anti-nausea pill to take. My sweet friend Jennifer flew to the store with only 5 minutes till they closed! The additoinal pill helped. I slept the best last night and that was not that good. The stomach cramps and diarrhea started this morning. Amodium A.D. helped with that. I am finally feeling 1/2 human tonight. I am looking forward to maybe feeling like myself hopefully by this weekend. All the kids have games. Kelly's last flag football game and Troy and Brooke's first soccer games. Thanks for all the prayers!

Hi Melissa,
I hope you are feeling better this morning and that you can enjoy the weekend with the kids.
Lots of love and prayers,
Kathryn
Melissa,
I am so happy to see that you have such good friends to help you when you need them. If I didn't live so far away I'd be there helping you with the kids and cooking for you. The best thing I can do is continue to pray for you and your speedy recovery. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you.
Our hygeinist has a family member going thru the same thing. He was diagnosed on Monday and unfortunately has a grim prognosis. He's 56 and will have a permanent colostomy if they can get all of the cancer with surgery. When I heard his news I was so greatful that you were diagnosed so early. I feel confident that you will be healed. God is so awesome. Hope you get feeling back to normal quickly.
Love ya, Paula
Hey Melissa--the OakLeaf Moms are geared up and ready to help you through this process. You know you can count on us for absolutely anything. Hope the kids did well in their games this weekend and that you're at least 3/4 human again by now. I had no idea what the side effects for chemotherapy were, but it sounds like you're finding a good balance to handle it all. Use us whenever and wherever you can!
