Not the worst day, not the best. She slept a lot during the chemo, and then got really sick as we were leaving. She slept most of the afternoon. Thanks to Diann, we had Kidron Chicken BBQ for dinner, and Kathy made peach cobbler. I thank God for our friends and family, I don't know where we would be without them.

Carli's CT is scheduled for Friday afternoon. She is already fretting about drinking the contrast. It is terrible, and when you are already queezy it sounds impossible. Dr. Stallings gave her a medication to take that should help with the nausea and nerves. Hopefully it will help, or she will be unable to have the CT if she can't drink the contrast. I would think that the only thing left to do would be to insert an NG tube, and that wouldn't be very fun, either. Tara said that she would be glad to come and insert one, as she has only practiced so far on the mannikins at school. Needless to say, Carli was not interested in having her sister practice her skills on her!! Who can blame her?

I start back to school this week and am really dreading it. I just pray that Carli's chemo stays on schedule and that goes smoothly from here out. My job share buddy is great and has done a lot to get us ready to go, and for that I am grateful. Carli still hasn't done everything that she needs to do to get her classes OK'd from GCC...she operates on a different wave length than her mother. What 21 year old doesn't????
