Hi everyone...this is Judy, Sarah's mom...
Sarah is sound asleep and I will be waking her soon. Today is chemo day. Today is chemo day # 3. We are ready for it!
She had a great visit with Dr. Migliori yesterday afternoon. He gave her a double injection and a lot of his time. She just loves him. He always makes her feel good and yesterday she really needed that.
Sarah mentioned in her post yesterday that she had a blood draw in the morning. It was a hard experience due to some apparent miscommunications within the hospital and where the blood draw was to take place. When Sarah did get to the right place the nurse who did the draw missed the port and Sarah ended up in tears. The nurse felt horrible because she had to poke Sarah twice. She said that rarely happens and she felt so horrible that if Sarah wanted to hit her, that would be ok.
Sarah didn't hit her. Funny thing...the experience was a little traumatic and when Sarah talked to Dr. Migliori about it, he said that shouldn't have happened. We are all human beings and things like that do happen, but it shouldn't have and he is going to follow up on it.His understanding of what anyone going through this is like is wonderful.
I have to stop for now. It is time to get ready. And, something really nice just happened. My sister, Linda, called. Bri's mom. Bri died of cancer in February. She just wanted to say she was in prayer for Sarah and me today. Some things just make you cry. That is all it took.
We are going to do this today. Resolve is unmistakeable. It takes such consciousness to walk this path. There is a goal out there. We are keeping our eyes on it and walking this path. We will reach the goal. We will look back and say...we did this!
For today...we are taking the next step...Chemo #3 here we come!
Let's do this!
