10 July

The weekend is flying by with the weather being so nice here and the boys having several birthday parties and activities. Sarah has been nestled into the couch Friday and Saturday and has been dozing quite a bit during the day. She's not sure if it is just chemo side effects or whether it feels like it did in the hospital. I think we'll have to wait and see how this coming week goes - hopefully a steady improvement with another chemo treatment on Thursday. We think that her good feeling last Thursday was probably aided by the steroids she gets along with chemo. She's been doing pretty well keeping hydrated but eating is still a struggle. The idea is to eat smaller portions more frequently but Sarah is sleeping several hours at a time and waking up still feeling full, so it is easier said than done.
It's really hard seeing Sarah like this, and it is also tough not knowing if the chemo is working to improve her condition. But there's no choice but to wait and hope, so that's what we're doing. Thank you again for everyone's love, support and outreach to us - it means tons!
