Well, it's been a rough few days. Starting Saturday I was hit with some pretty bad nausea, none of the medication seemed to help. Sunday I was still feeling awful and got some new meds, but that didn't work and things just got worse. On Monday it was not good and I was given another medication to try, but that didn't work. I basically spent the past four days in bed. Today, my dad came to Morris and brought me to the clinic in Ottawa. There they gave me I.V. fluids, steroids, and medication. I started to feel much better. After the I.V. we drove down to Peoria to see Dr. Thomas. He adjusted the medication and has me coming into the Peoria clinic tomorrow for more I.V. fluids and meds. He doesn't seem too worried and thinks we'll be able to get things adjusted. I always appreciate his calming demeanor. So hopefully I'll be feeling good soon and the next treatment won't be quite so bad. I definitely feel better and am able to drink and eat a a little bit. Maybe it's good that the first time was so tough, because it will make the next five treatments seem like a walk in the park. ;)

I also saw Dr. Jones today and the incisions are looking good and slowing healing. Of course, I get to see him again next week. I have been there every week since surgery and at this point it would just be weird not to see him, ha, but I am really grateful that he is attentive and cautious.

I want to give a shout out to Tony because he has been super amazing as always, taking care of the kids and me and the house and everything! I am so lucky.

I also want to just let everyone know how much I love all of the prayers, the thoughts, the kindness, the cards,  the comments, the meals, and the support. We are soooooo thankful.
