Just a quick update on my little sister.
I've been out here for five days now and it's been hard seeing my sister go through what she is experiencing. This third chemo treatment has hit her the hardest. She's really drained of energy, she is more nauseous than before and everytime I turn around she's sleeping. She keeps apologizing for being a lump on a log (puh-lease... like I was expecting her to entertain me the entire week).
The thrush has come back (again) and her describing what it feels like (her tongue has a winter coat on it) is something I wouldn't want to experience. She started on the medication right when she felt the first layer appearing on her tongue and hopefully in the next couple of days it will go away again.
I do what I can for her and then I leave her alone because she also doesn't feel like talking. Just a note to all her friends... if you call and she doesn't answer, she isn't ignoring you, she just doesn't have the energy to talk on the phone. But she's a fabulous texter!
I have to say... my sister is a trooper! She gets up early in the morning with the kids because she wants to be there for them when they go to school. She makes it a point to sit at the table and eat (even if it's not alot) with the family when it's time for dinner. Hopefully she will start to feel more herself sooner rather than later.
Please continue to pray for her and send her good thoughts and notes whether it's through text, facebook or on the blog! I know she loves and appreciates it.
That's it! Have a great rest of the week everyone.
Erika
