We got an unexpected surprise today after chemo...they checked Kristi's CA125 level today and it dropped to 52!! That was a complete surprise of which we're very thankful.
The chemo itself went longer than anticipated...probably because it was the first time with this new dosage (we're guessing). We're hoping in the future we can get in and out quicker than we did today. We didn't get home until 2:30 - and it was supposed to be a "quick one". The chemo is hitting Kristi harder than we thought also. Kristi slept most of the afternoon after getting home and is now back in bed after joining us briefly for dinner (Kristi drank a Carnation as the rest of us ate a delicious dinner complements of the Durnwalds!!). She is complaining of fatigue and nausea. She is also feeling quite overwhelmed at the thought of doing this once a week, and thus her mood turned quite down tonight. Our next chemo date is next week Tuesday - the kids' first day of school. Her nurse didn't want to change the date so we have to go in for chemo on the kids' first day back. That didn't sit too well with Kristi.
We have the following prayer requests:
* That Kristi bounces back quickly
* That the nausea and fatigue doesn't last
* That her mood picks up and this feeling of being overwhelmed is relieved
Thank you!!
