For your reading enjoyment.

It's 5:27a.m....and I've been up since 3:30a.m....what better time to update the blog!? 

I think the lack of sleep is either due to the steroids I started taking yesterday evening to accompany the Velcade or just anxiety about what's next. I think I am just scared about the possibility of feeling awful for the next few months.

In several hours, I go to Health & Wellness to get my normal vitamin IV. It is such a comfort to have them walking beside us through this, constantly tailoring my vitamins, supplements and dendritic cell vaccine. 

After that, I go straight to get a transfusion because my hematocrit is at 18. I've gotten so used to functioning with so little energy...and I never thought I'd be SO thankful for people who donate blood! 

The first chemo injection was not bad at all and I am thankful! As one of my wise MIL's, Cindy, pointed out, the trauma of getting my nose cauterized (or should I say, the inside of my face burned!!!) the day before really made chemo seem like no big deal. A good way to see God's faithfulness in everything!

Anywho, before I write anything too crazy I just want to say thank you to all the people that have been supporting us through prayer, meals, cleaning, financially or a sweet note in the mail. You have no idea  how encouraging that is to both Matt and I. I have seen God's faithfulness in the hardest and lowest of times through you. Thank you!!

"For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease. He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection. Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor the arrow that flies in the day." Psalm 91:3-5 New Living Translation
