Today, Charmaine has had a wonderful day overall. The morning started out a little rocky with some nausea, but turned for the better! The medicine change has seemed to help the side effects greatly. Thank you all for your prayers! Her headaches and nausea are still sneaking in some, but finally under control. What an awesome feeling!!! She is starting to get a little appetite also...she ate a whole granny smith apple, a baked potato, and 2 bite-size twix bars! YEA!! She was able to walk around the hall several times without getting sick. She even got online and read this blog and all your comments by herself...thanks for sharing your comments!! She feels really blessed to have so many people concerned and praying for her. We really have the best doctors in the world!! We thank God every day for that.
Seeing Charmaine doing so well today completely lifted our dad's spirits! You could hear it in his voice. Charmaine's voice actually sounded peppy too! She is so relieved to be feeling better.
Monday is Day 11 and she will have 2 more chemos that day, but remember they will be quick...so we aren't wasting as much time worrying about them. Every chemo has side effects, but since we have learned which meds to avoid, it should go so much better!
Her immune system is going down rapidly as expected and therefore she is at a higher risk for infection and sickness. She cannot have ANY visitors, and the caregivers staying are being extremely cautious.
Thanks again for caring so much for our family...whether you are taking or picking up our kids to/from school so we can stay at the hospital, praying about our journey, sending words of encouragement, or just reading the blog...We thank you.

ReplyDeleteCharmaine - you know that I love you and think of you daily. I will continue to pray for you and the hospital that would be "nuts" enough to have a rock concert outside of the building where people are sick. Are you kidding me? This memory will definately be one that you can laugh at later when your head doesn't hurt.
ReplyDeletelove you, christy
Rejoicing with you and praising God for the improvement today! We continue to lift you up to the Lord daily .....

ReplyDeleteWe are so thankful that Charmaine had a good day! You are in our family's prayers and thoughts.
ReplyDeleteCharmaine, PTL for answering everyones prayers for some good days. Remember Isaiah 43:1-2 as you approach tomorrow. The Lord, your4 Creator who has formed you says: Do not fear, for I have called you by name; YOU ARE MINE! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers they will not overflow you . When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched... For I am the Lord your God.....you are precious in My sight.
ReplyDeleteWe Love You and contiune to lift you up!
