Quick post as I am supposed to be getting ready for chemo #5 today. I will not lie, this is the first time I am nervous/scared. That last round was absolutely brutal and I am prepared to as Dr. W to throw every drug at me to help with the side effects. I am feeling pressure of many commitments next week that I SO want to be able to attend.
I can not express my gratitude for the prayers for our family and especially Henry. Since my last post, his attitude has been tenfold better and at least manageable! We went to see a specialist last night that helped Sarah at the beginning of this year and it was heartbreaking yet wonderful to see him interact with her. She is just a very special soul and just amazing at her job! He absolutely adored her. It broke my heart to hear him actually say that he is scared out loud because he doesn't want me to be sick, and that he thinks about it all the time and at school but at least he talked about it. I know we have a way to go but just putting a step forward in a positive way to help with the sadness and anger is huge. Thanks again! I don't know what John and I would do without this huge village supporting us! We are beyond thankful for all of you!
So wonderful to hear that Henry was able to verbalize what he was feeling. Prayers for his and all the kids little souls....I am prayerful and positive that they will make it through this...and you too! XO
