This last week has been good for us. For the first time Franklin was introduced to feeding ducks. With the ducks being shy and his short throwing range, it was fun to watch. He had a blast!
Yesterday Britteny had her 3rd round of chemo. Everything went well for her. Although we did have to wait quite a while to see the doctor before her chemo was started, which is always a bummer no matter where you are. We were the last ones to leave chemo yesterday afternoon. Yesterday evening was fairly well for her except for a minor headache and a bit of a stomach ache. We are so fortunate and thankful to God that our families and friends are close and that they are willing to help us out as much as they do. Please continue the prayers since Britteny has in the past been very tired a couple days after her treatment. Also during this time she is to drink 3 quarts of fluid a day to keep her kidneys flushed out preventing the chemo from building up. Build up could cause an infection. (So Britteny, when you read this you better have a drink next to you! Haha!)
This morning Britteny had 2 appointments. First she saw her heart doctor and he verified that everything is going good and that there has been no negative effects. Apparently it too was a long wait for her. I guess, unfortunately, that’s something we will have to get used to. Then after that she went to received a shot to boost her blood count which doesn’t take but a few minutes.
Lately Britteny and I have been discussing where all the time goes. After Abigail was born time seemed to speed up. Now that we’ve added in the mix chemo treatments every other week, the weeks have absolutely flown by for us. I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like when we have chemo every week!
