5 months down.

Yep, I have 5 whole months down!  It's actually going very fast for me!  Just wanted to update you all on how things have been going.  I continue to take my meds everyday for three weeks then I have one week off treatment.  I love my week off!  My biggest complaint is just being tired.  I'm so fortunate that's my biggest complaint!  I have some stomach pain and issues with that but nothing that gets bad enough that I can't work.  I'm continuing to work but have definitely cut back.  It's a hard thing to do.  It's hard to tell people no....especially when you think, Oh it's just one more or I can stay another 45 minutes but it all adds up.  It really hit me that as hard as it is to tell people no I had to for my family.  I was coming home so tired and just sleeping the rest of the night.  I had used all my energy at work and didn't have anything left for my favorite people!

I started meds back up tonight after having this past week off.  There's a certain sort of sadness when this day comes.  Just a reality I suppose.  I don't let myself stay there.  It would be easy to do but that's not who I want to be or will ever be.

The boys are great!  Luke has been so great about it all.  We aren't afraid to talk about it in front of him with other people because we've been able to be open about it at home.  He really doesn't seemed to be bothered by it.  I do want to thank all of you who are so sensitive to Luke when he's around.  Often I notice someone asking me quietly while Luke isn't looking and it's so sweet of you!

So just wanted to send out a short note to update you all!  We truly are doing very well!!

Oh, and THANK YOU for the meals!!!!  They have been such a blessing!!!

Love,
Jess
