The Stats... And a Plan

The stats:
  • 48 hours
  • 450 miles put on the Prius
  • 8 hours in the car
  • 5 doctors visited 
  • 2 tests (echocardiogram and a PET scan)
  • 3 IV sticks
  • 1 flu shot (well, 2 if you count Richard's)
  • 2 hours spent trying on wigs
  • Thousands of medical bills racking up (more than I even want to know!) - but oh so thankful for insurance
  • Countless texts/messages of prayers and encouragement
The verdict:
  • 6 chemo treatments - 1 every 3 weeks
  • 1 year of a follow up medicine injected into my port
  • 1 sassy red headed wig 
  • Thousands of blessings 

All this made possible with 4 amazing grandparents who helped watch Mase the past few days.  Thank you Nannie, Poppy, GG and Papa!  Love you guys!

I am excited to write a few posts detailing the past two days, but for now, I think I've deserved a nap.

  2. Praise God there is a plan! And thankful that He and Richard are with you through this! Praying your Drs have devised the very best plan for you and and that you have no difficulty handling the chemo. I hear chemo treatments leave you easily chilled so buy yourself something warm and wonderful to wear that sets off that red wig! Praying every day and counting down the next 18 weeks.
