The Power of Pictures

This chemo was quite dramatic with Ryan's stomach flu.  Ryan's mother came up on Saturday to help take care of Will and Ted.  This time my throat hurt the worst it has ever been.  It seems like every time is different.  My heartburn was extreme this time.  If I had stronger heartburn medication I wonder if my throat wouldn't hurt quite so badly.  I know that my stomach wouldn't have been quite as upset.  I didn't sleep hardly at all Saturday night, but when I did get a little sleep my dreams were HORRIBLE.  Yuck!  Looking at photos on Facebook is what got me through...my niece making cookies, my cousin's new baby, my friend from high school shooting archery from her horse (even her horse wore a hat!)  The power of pictures!

My skin has gotten quite sensitive.  Sunday night I felt itchy all over, but I didn't have a rash.  I took some Benadryl and woke up this morning feeling not itchy.  Tonight my arms were getting a little rash.  I put some Eucerin cream on them and took Benadryl and the rash went away.  Its been a couple of hours now and I'm doing O.K.  All I want to do is sleep through the night.  I only use baby soap on my skin and either Cheer Free or Dreft on my clothes.

Ted's friend Chase isn't at daycare this week.  Linda told me that all day Ted was looking for Chase. At lunch time Ted went back to where the high chairs are stored because Linda didn't get Chase's chair out.  Then at nap time Ted was looking for Chase.  I love that Ted misses his friend.  I also love that Ted has fun at daycare.  I know that whether I'm at work, or home recovering (like I am right now), Ted is safe and happy!
