A day in the life....


Well this week was one of those weeks where chemo didn't go as well as we like. Monday started off with our daycare provider having a kidney stone attack so I had to leave school and pick the boys up. Luckily, Dr. Rosen was able to squeeze us in that morning so we didn't have to get back out later that day since it was snowing. So Tues. Jerry stayed home with the boys while I went to school. We met up for Gentry's cardiologist appt. which went great. His heart is functioning at 100% and it's size is just right. We were so relieved. Then I had to go back to work for conferences. Gentry did great taking his chemo pills last night but really struggled this morning. I figured it was because he was super tired but got a call around noon from daycare that he had thrown up right after taking his afternoon pills. So I call Dr. Rosen and he says he has to take another dose. So I spend more time calling the pharmacy trying to get another dose and get over to Ms. Carol's and Gentry won't take the medicine. He said he was sick of it and wasn't going to do it. Oh my, it was a rough afternoon. Luckily, Mr. Gary told Gentry that he would get him some jelly beans if he took his medicine. Gentry, being quite the negotiator, agreed. So we got his meds in him, I went back to work and finished out the day and now I am exhausted. I wonder what it will be like to not be so tired all the time....
