The week in review

It has been an up and down ride since the last post. We tried a new treatment consisting of a 3 day course of dexamethasone to follow the chemo to aid in the nausea, but it backfired and made me very ill. In the course of the week, I was in the Davis hospital overnight night at the Huntsman Acute unit for a day. I hadn't been able to keep anything down for days and the anti emetics weren't working. Finally that seems to have resolved although I have to be very careful what I eat. I have a great Home Health Nurse named Katie who comes 2xweek or more if needed and gives me fluids and meds here when we can. I am in good hands
There have been good things. My Mom came up from Moab on Thurs and is staying close by. It's fun to have her here to visit and get good back rubs. I love getting cards and texts from friends and family and am so grateful to all of you to pray care for all of us. We have such a wonderful world of friends and family. I wish I could get back to each of you personally.
Jenna is doing well and goes t o Zumba class 3 x a week. She loves it. She is such a big helper and is always checking in on me. She loves to keep things tidy and is a big help.
The grandkids are the life of the party. It has been so fun to be here with them all the time and see how fast they grow up. We have all been celebrating Jillian being an official "big girl" with Princess panties to boot. Max goes to preschool 3 times a week and he is growing up so much. He turned 5 on New Year's Day. He loves that the whole world celebrates his birthday.
Today is a good day. Mom and I are going through some of the cards and letters I've received and then a ride in the car. That's about the extent of my energy for the day.
Thanks again to all of you.
