Well, the Dr was right. Amy's extreme nausea only lasted about 1 1/2 weeks for the most part. She's still a bit queasy until about 10 am but otherwise is finally able to eat and carry on a somewhat normal existence. Now if only she'd begin getting some pain relief. But the Dr thinks it might be a month or so before she'll be able to tell if this medicine is working, so I guess we'd better be patient awhile longer. We ran into Amy's wound care Dr today at lunch and he was so impressed by how well she's bouncing around and how great her scar looks. He filled us in on how the staff is doing, too. They were like family to us for almost 7 months, so it was nice to get caught up. They were awesome friends at a time when we really needed them.
On a lighter note, Brian and Bethany are in San Diego this week and Bethany has decided she was born to be a California girl. She's having a blast with her Aunt Gina doing "girly" things like getting highlights in her hair and a pedicure. It might be a bit hard for her to come back to reality at the end of the week! My little Cinderella will come back to the home where she empties the trash and takes the dog out instead of being pampered. But for 5 days, I'm glad she's having a blast!
On Wednesday,. Amy and I are headed to Golden to see Laura for a few hours and it will be great to see her smile. She's had a rather interesting summer so far and I know she enjoys what she's doing. But a visit from home is kinda nice, too. She didn't get to see Ian this weekend since he was at a cousin's wedding in Virginia, so I'm sure she's missing him, too. Maybe we'll be a good distraction till she sees him next weekend.
Thanks for your continued prayers. Keep checking for updates!
