It’s now day 8/6 since we went in for Chemo Round 2 and Michele continues to fight like a Champion (that’s 8 days since Chemo and 6 days since the slow-drip pump was removed). Taking the lessons we learned after Round 1, we have adapted and tweaked a few things to try and manage/stay ahead of side-effects.
My mom has made some great strides these past 8 days, especially compared to this point in time after Round 1. She is drinking her Ensure drinks daily along with some Ginger Ale when the nausea sets in. She has been able to drink a fresh fruit smoothie each morning and yesterday we added some Jello along with the smoothie, all steps in the right direction! (Note to Self: Peach flavored Ensure Clear Active tastes different and much better than Peach flavored Ensure Clear! Who would have guessed, but that’s her very sensitive taste buds for ya!)
Rest assured, Michele’s attitude and resolve remain intact and stronger than ever. We were talking about meditation last night and she mentioned to me that when she first started she thought it was a bit “hokey” and that she would never be able to calm herself down. However, she now finds it a very valuable tool and has incorporated it into her nightly routine, welcoming the calming effect it has on her body and mind.
We continue to be overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from everyone. We cannot thank you all enough for your kind words and offers of help.
It was great to spend a long weekend with my mom, family, and friends. Of course, Zach and I had to have a little fun with Michele’s wigs! Vote now – who wore it best?!
