Bad week behind me

Well this past week has been a very long week! Chemo last Friday was brutal. I didn't really feel like myself until Friday, April 3rd. I did have my neulasta shot on Wednesday and it has definitely worked. My counts on the day of chemo were only .7. After the shot it is up to 4.9! The problem with the shot is that it gives you flu like symptoms. When you already feel like #$@% from the chemo that was hard. It also induced another vomiting episode but the good news is that the worst if finally over!!!!! My next combination of drugs should be much easier on me. I can honestly say if the Dr. came to me and said I have to do these drugs again I would have to think long and hard about it. I just don't know if I could do it again. On the bright side, my mother has been in town for the past week and a half and my house has NEVER been so organized. She has been going through cupboards and throwing away the junk. Love you mom! James and I took Regan to Columbia Missouri on Friday night for her State gymnastic competition. She did wonderful! She even qualified to go to Regionals in Wisconsin on April 26th! We are very proud of her. Noah ran in his first track meet this weekend. James and I didn't get to see it. My father took him to the meet and then they had a special lunch at McDonald's after. I think he had a wonderful day. Alex didn't have any soccer games this week due to the rain but she has a game Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Go Saints! Tomorrow we will be celebrating Regan's 14th birthday. It doesn't seem possible that my little girl can get her driving permit! Take care everyone and have a fabulous week!
