Friday November 12

Still doing great, just really tired but I know by next week I will get my energy level back up. My blood counts had already started to rise from the 8th to the 10th. I went to the hospital yesterday to get my lumbar puncture done as an outpatient. Up at 5AM so I could be there by 7. Had to get 2 units of blood first. Everything went well and got home by 5PM. It was a really long day but it's done and I have a little time off till the 2nd part of this treatment. Half way there! Laney, Nathan and Marti Sue will be here tonight. This will be the first time I have been out of the hospital in such a long time while they were here. I can't wait to be home with them. Taking it easy today so I will feel GOOD tomorrow. AS ALWAYS....thank you to everyone for your prayers.
Much love,
Lundy

Tuesday Nov. 9

I'm home! My doctor sent me home from the hospital last night after only 5 nights there. I did great through the whole first 4 days of chemo. Today is another story...it zapped me, but just my energy! The rest of the week I will be doing what's left as an outpatient and hopefully over the next week or so regaining my strength again. Hopefully my numbers will stay high enough to keep me from having to go back in the hospital for a few days. Tomorrow is my birthday and I get to be at home. That really makes me happy. Thanks to everyone for the thoughts and prayers. I know I'm doing this well because of all of you.
Love to everyone,

Friday November 5th

I'm on my 2nd day of chemo and today I had my lumbar puncture to get the chemo in my spinal cord. So far so good. Haven't been sick at all! Maybe it really will be much better this time. I have been getting up and walking down the halls. Been to see the babies twice, last night and this morning! They are so precious. Makes me excited to see my sweet angel tonight! But she isn't that little anymore... I get to see all my angels today. Turner is on his way over and then Lacey, Laney, Nathan, and Marti Sue will be here around 6 or 7. Can't wait to see everybody. Will make for a happy weekend. Please continue to pray that I keep doing this well. Can't believe I'm almost half way through my treatments.
Much love,
Lundy

Wednesday, November 3

I checked back into the hospital today to start my 2nd round. I am really nervous and scared and really can't remember much about the 1st treatment. I guess that's a good thing but it feels like I'm starting over. So much unknown. Everyone keeps telling me how brave I am...haha, so far from brave. I just want to get this done and get back home. I do feel like it will have to be a little better than last time since I am so much stronger. Only problem is, last time I was so sick and I felt like I needed to be in the hospital. This time I don't feel sick and I want to be at home. Our kids will be here on Friday and I do so much better when they are close. And just like the last times, Hugh has not left my side. Why did God bless me with such a wonderful, loving family? Please keep us in your prayers through this next round.
Much Love,
Lundy

I've taken some time off from my blog. I have been enjoying my time at home. It seems like I'm getting a little stronger everyday. I'm able to do more and more little chores around the house and my appetite has really improved. I would really love to try and start walking next week. I know I won't be able to go very far but I know how good it would be for me. My goal is to just be as strong as possible before my second round. It's still set for the 1st of November. Please keep us in your thoughts and I will let everyone know when I head back to the hospital. That's when I need so many prayers. Just being in the hospital now is one of the hardest things for me to think about. I wish I could just do all this chemo at home....guess that's not possible.
Love to all

Going home Monday

I was hoping I would be home before today but I'm learning a lot of patience. I had to stay today to get 2 units of blood. I could have begged for them to send me home after but I figured one more night will just make me stronger. I will feel much better with my "joy juice" as my nurses call it. I saw an Arby's commercial and started craving a french dip and a cherry turnover so I'm obviously getting better. So please keep me in your prayers that I get stronger everyday. Maybe the next round in November will go even more smoothly if I haven't been so sick for so long.
Love to All

Just about finished 2nd part of 1st round

I made it through another small battle today. At least enough to post something on here to let you all know I'm hanging in there. The worst of it is over I think and I should be home sometime during the weekend. The worst part was getting the port in my chest. That got really sore which didn't help things but it's much better today and I'm getting food down today too.
Please keep me in those prayers. This is the hardest thing I have ever done. I still don't know what I would do without my Hugh and the kids! I can't imagine anyone having to go through something like this alone.
Much love and blessings to all of you,
Lundy
