Round Two Day Two

This evening, one full day of chemo has been completed and day 2 has began. This time around they have decided to give mama the methylene blue every day along with the chemo instead of at the end of day 5. It will hopefully help to prevent the build up of toxins that caused so much confusion and problems during the first round of chemo. Mama has been doing pretty well today. She is very weak and tired. They have been able to keep her nausea under control. Some of her nausea medicine makes her sleepy. The first time around, Mama tried to avoid the medications that made her so groggy. This time she has welcomed the sleep. It makes her days go by so much faster. The faster she gets these days of chemo behind her the better. We are happy to see her rest and not struggle. We are hoping the change of the methylene blue will make a big difference this time. Mama has had the best nurses. I can't say enough good things about the care here. This afternoon, one of Mama's little nurses saw her reading her Bible and struck up a conversation about the Lord. Before she left the room, she sat down on Mama's bedside and prayed for her. It was such a blessing.
Mama was able to get on the computer today to read her emails and the blog comments. I brought up their mail today and there was a handful of cards for her. Thank you to everyone for your encouragement. Mama's heart has been so blessed. Her room is beginning to fill up with cards on her wall. They make her room warmer and not so sterile white. Thank you to everyone for your continued prayers.
With love,
Carmen
