ugh. {an update}

Thought it was about time for an update.  When people start calling to see if you're okay because you haven't updated your blog in 4 days, it's time.  Unfortunately it's not a great update.  

After a week of feeling amazing, Last Wednesday night I got hit pretty hard.  I've had really bad headaches that start when I wake up and pretty much last all day if I'm not laying down.  I get extreme sweats on and off all day.  The kind that soak your tank top and make your hair wet.  That alternates with bouts of being freezing cold, where no amount of clothes or blankets will warm me up.  I've also been hit with the dreaded mouth sores all around my lips and sides of my mouth, which adds a lot of pain that hits you unexpectedly a lot - like when I kiss Elise, or put on chapstick.   I went to bed at 8:30 on Saturday, and pretty much slept until 3:30 on Sunday.  I'm SO tired all the time.  All of this is coming right before my next round of chemo tomorrow.  This is really, really not fun guys.  

I couldn't do it without my family.  My sister Lauren arrived tonight so she can come with me to chemo tomorrow, and my mom will stay with Elise during the day.  Hopefully tomorrow's treatment will be shorter than the first one and I'll have more good days in my future.  Feeling like crap is no fun.  I feel useless, I pretty much nap or watch Elise run around, but I'm not really able to play.  Good thing she's so easy, she's pretty much happy no matter what she's doing.  Love that girl, we don't know what we'd do without her. 

So that's the scoop around here.  Kinda depressing, I know.  I'll get some cute pictures of Elise up here pretty soon.
