Doing well

Jamie is two treatments into the current phase of treatment and is doing well. She had her second treatment last Friday and had a pretty good day. She was really tired, but had a good weekend.

Her appetite is really good, and I think that has helped her keep her strength up. She as been working every day has been in a really good frame of mind most days.

I am so proud of her.

a good weekend

Jamie had her first treatment of this second round of chemo Friday.

She did really well--had taken a drug to help her relax and slept much of the afternoon and evening.

She seemed to feel OK on Saturday; didn't do much, but had a good appetite and and a pretty good day.

Today I took the kids to church, Jamie stayed home and rested.

She wasn't feeling as well today, a little nauseated and very tired. But she ate well again, and did better as the day went on.

Some friends made a Costco shopping trip for us and completely stocked our freezer, pantry--the whole kitchen. It was an incredibly generous gift.

A family from church brought us a wonderful meal for dinner; so we ate well!

I think Jamie's going to take it easy tomorrow, then go back to work Tuesday.

I'm so proud of how well she is walking through this.

Round Two

Jamie finished the first phase of chemo three weeks ago. Tomorrow she begins phase two. For this part, she'll go every week for 12 weeks.

Jamie did really well with the 8-week first phase, but was feeling really worn out by the end, and really anxious about doing more chemo.

This phase is supposed to be milder than the first, so we're hopeful that it won't knock her down too much.

Jamie has been really strong through all of this.

Please pray that her stress and anxiety will be minimal and that she will have some peace tonight and tomorrow.
