Long Day

Yesteday was a long day.I wasn't allowed to eat or drink all day in preparation for the Hickman placement. Then at 4 pm they told me that I was bumped until today. I lost it . I felt bad for Kyle because he was sad, but I think that was why I was so nauseated all day with nothing in my stomach and all this medicine in my veins. They gave me drugs for the nausea and they made me very sleepy. Kyle and Erika visited last night and brought me a picture that Kade made. Of course I was teary, those grandkids mean the world to me and they know it. Today is going to be a BETTER day. Thank you everyone for everything you are doing for me and my family, I can feel your presence here with me as I fight off these bad cells. I will update after my Hickman placement if I can.

    It looks like the sun is going to shine all day and we are thinking of you. All I keep thinking is that I want to be up there with you. My mind is not here at all. What's hard is that I am so darn forgetful anyway. Keep that positive spirit mom. You will have those days that are going to be hard and some disappointments but remember that the outcome will be all worth it. I know it is easy for me to say because I am not lying there in that hospital bed but believe me when I say that I would switch places in a heartbeat. I love you and can't imagine my life without you so that is not even an option. I am here to help you fight be your pillar of strength when you need it. You know all you need to say is I need you and I will hop in the car and be there. You have been the nucleus of our family the strong support that held everything together and you taught each one of us that. Having you as our role model is pulling us together to be your strength yeah it probably will take all four of us plus dad to do what you have done for us all these years but we are there for you. I felt so helpless for you on Monday. I wanted to just hug you and make everything go away as you have been able to do for me so many times. Keep your strength and determinination. I am going to send you some pictures later I hope you are up to seeing them.
    Love Ya! -----Jess

    Good morning Cindy. Sorry yesterday didn't go so well. I just talked to Val and she feels like a "road trip" so we're planning to stop in and see you this afternoon. She said I should warn you, if you know what I mean. If you aren't feeling up to visitors we can always entertain Kyle. C U
    Love,
    ;-D

    Hi Cindy, I feel I know you through your brother even though we have never met. He has always spoken so highly of you. I have been through the process you and your family are going thru with my oldest brother. So much has been improved since my brother had it 20 years ago. My family has been tested and we are in the clinic's data base for bone marrow as well as the platelets. We have all donated platelets for years. If you need anything to help you thru this, my brothers and sister are ready to help. You are in our prayers. Keep fighting.

    Once again I find myself drawn to your site as I am sure so many of us are. We all just want to hear all about your days and nights and hope that all our prayers out there are being answered! I hope today and everyday after brings nothing but better things for you and Kyle and the kids. We all know you are the rock and the glue that holds it all together! Hopefully Daleen and Val were great entertainment for you today and hopefully Dottie can be your entertainment tomorrow. Never forget the power of prayer! Thinking of you, Shannon
