Quick Update

Thank you for your prayers and well wishes. Just wanted to quickly say that I woke up Monday morning feeling fantastic--just in time to put my body through havoc again. Chemo that same day was a success, my nausea has been well under control, and my sister and now my parents have been taking good care of me while Nate has a busy week at camp--where, by the way, he has two junior high campers with cancer this week. One just finished with a two year fight and one still fighting.

Today I had my Neulasta shot and my blood pressure was low, probably from dehydration so I stayed for IV fluids. But I don't always mind, the nurses are so kind and Nurse Candy is back. My sister Deb had the kids with us, since we weren't expecting it to be such a long appointment, and Nick was allowed to come sit with me for a while and see what goes on in the room and how nicely they take care of me. Maddie has a bit of a cold, so we didn't have her come in, but both Nurse Missy and Nurse Candy went out to the waiting room to talk to her and see my sister.

Thanks for your prayers!

Tam!!

I'm praying for you!! I don't know what else to say. AT this date, I'm praying you are at least a third of the way done. Sounds like you have amazing friends around you at this time - such a blessing! And, how wonderful that Deb came to visit too!

I don't know what kind of shape you'll be in, or what your needs might be, but I could visit next week?? (Aug. 25-29.) I'll get a hold of you somehow to see if there is a day (even just an hour ) that would work.
May you continue to find strength and solace in Him.
