Day 13

Good morning everyone!  We're doing really well today... better than yesterday.  No more aches and she's getting rid of a couple pills and getting the drugs through IV instead!  She's very excited about that because pills are her nemesis.

She's eating like a champ.. in fact she had me go to matt's to pick a few homegrown cukes yesterday and I smuggled them in here.. with a vegetable peeler.. thank god I didn't have to go through a metal detector!!  We asked Sheila, her head nurse, (I'll try to get a picture of her so you can meet her) if she could eat the cukes and because her numbers are still up high enough she can!  I do have to wash them with soap and water, really really well.. and peel them away from her, then I can rinse them and give them to her.. they will be the cleanest cukes anyone's ever seen!  She's so excited... hopefully they still taste like cucumbers!  Everything tastes like metal.. I already told you, but I feel so horrible because she's trying hard to eat and drink, but it sucks that nothing tastes good.  Not even coffee... I would be so sad without a great cup of coffee in the morning.  She doesn't even like the taste of gingerale right now.. at least the Frito's still taste good.

We watched a movie last night.. Being Julia.. has anyone ever seen it?  Probably not...it should be banned from being watched.  It was horrible and she told me she loved it and it was such an awesome movie.. then at the end said... well maybe I saw it a long time ago and only once, so I really didn't remember it.  Let me tell you.. it was on par with something Mariah Carey would make.. maybe worse.. unbelievable, right?!  From now on I pick the movies!!! 

We are glad to hear everyone's ladybug stories.. keep your eyes peeled!  We had a couple little ladybugs swimming with us at girls night!!  They just love mom's pool area!  Don't we all...

We're doing some stretching now with the Occupational Therapist, hopefully mom's back will feel better, it's just a little tight because of lying in bed all this time. 

We just had some mail brought into us, so keep those letters coming!  She's looking forward to reading all your inspirational thoughts and wishes.  She loves everyone and says thank you again. 


Here's a pic of Jazzy and Meema from their visit this weekend.

love.
