Thanks to everyone who has been praying for me as I tackled round 5 of chemo.   Only one more to go after these three weeks are up.   I did much better in Anchorage, and we a lot less sick on the plane coming home.   Thanks so much, I know you’re prayers mattered!   Sorry if this doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, my brain is pretty foggy tonight!

Today’s been a bit of a rough day, I think it’s a bit hard on Dani and Nate when they can see the affects of the chemo in me.   We all feel a little bit discouraged a few days after chemo!   So many weird symptoms that are definitely getting stronger and more frustrating.   I’m glad to be almost done. 

We’re still laughing, though, and enjoying this time we get to share together.   I don’t know what I would do without this support team of Nate and Dani.   They’re amazing.   Dani did laundry like a crazy lady today, playing with children, and keeping this house afloat.   She’s such a blessing.  

I’ll probably stay back from church in the morning, just don’t have enough strength right now to do the steps very well, let alone a morning in the pew with small children.   Any Mommy could tell you that’s like an olympic event!   When everyone sits like little saints, it’s better than winning the gold!

A random funny moment you all might appreciate... one of my side effects is that everything tastes metallic and yucky, even water.   Last night, I told Nathan how even the toothpaste tasted weird.   I could hardly taste mint, and it even seemed to lather weird.  A few minutes later I finished emptying my toiletries bag from the trip to find that my body wash had leaked all over.... yeah, on my toothbrush too!     I guess my bad taste buds spared me the misery because I couldn’t really tell much of a difference.  

I’m just sort of rambling here, so I guess I’d better get to bed.   I just wanted to let everyone know that we’re hanging in there, and to thank you for continuing to pray.  We got a lot of information on this last trip down, and now we need a lot of wisdom for these final decisions as far as surgery and radiation.   Thanks for praying for us!
