Since my body has a new 3:30 a.m. wake up time I was up extra early. I decided Mom, Ava, and I should enjoy breakfast before starting our long day of treatment. We got done with time to spare so I dropped by school to visit my spectacular first graders!! I love seeing my kiddos. They bring me lots and lots of smiles!! Boy they brought me more than a smile today. Sheila, my current sub, former coworker, and always close friend, gave each of my students a piece of fabric to decorate. She then made the squares into a quilt from my room 3 family. They were super excited to give it go me. It was so sweet it made me cry. As if I didn't tear up enough one of my sweeties told me that now even if I'm not at school they would be with me. Is this not what makes life so wonderful? This is what it's all about.
Now I could stop here and think......Wow I had an unbelievable morning, but no......I also got a cute basket from an anonymous friend filled with cute little poems and gift cards to celebrate all my good days. I see LOTS of shopping and pedicures in my future. Wow, what a GREAT way to start my day!
Mom and I then headed off for my long day of treatment. Today was number 7, and I got all 3 drugs today. We were there about 4 hours but time went by quickly. My blood counts were all in the normal range. I've been very very fatigued lately so I talked with the nurse about this and if there is anything I can do to remedy the situation...but it's just all part of the treatments. I'm focusing on all the positives like up until this moment how great I've felt and how I'm truly surrounded by the most amazing people and kids ever! I continue to feel blessed daily!
