Update – March 20, 2007 (phase 1, day #14)
hi. today is not as bad as yesterday. i actually feel like playing and walking around…the problem is that i can’t. my body is not functioning the way it used to and i don’t understand why i can’t walk and play like i used to do. it’s frustrating to me. i spent most of the day in mommy’s arms. i tried to play with grandpa some since he’s leaving tomorrow.
tomorrow is also another big day. i have to go back to children’s hospital for another chemo spine treatment. and they hafta draw more bone marrow to test it and see if i’m going to be in the low-risk group. that means there has to be only 5% or less cancer, meaning i’m in remission and i would get much smaller doses of chemo in my phase 2 treatment. if there is more than 5%, than i go back to the high-risk group and may have twice as much chemo for phase 2. we won’t know the results until probably friday and will post as soon as we find out. please please pray about my results, that jesus will be with me throughout my treatments and that i will healed! please also pray that i don’t get as sick this time from the chemo…i’m just starting to feel a bit better.
i’m trying to be good and happy, but it’s so hard. i’m so tired of being sick, tired of not being able to play and run and do all the stuff i was used to doing before i went to the hospital.
Hang in there pretty girl! Mom and dad, too!
Guess what? I’m participating in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in April and I’ve already achieved my fundraising goal! So, I’ve increased my goal now. I’ll be sure to walk a lap or two for you and I’m sure there will be a luminaria or two with your name on them to show support for you. You are loved and prayed for!
