She did get her chemo today. She had a particularly rough time today, though. I don't know if it was because she wasn't feeling well to start with, or if her mind was really playing games with her. She took her meds and tried to sleep, but she was very fidgety and just couldn't relax. Today was the first time that she verbalized being very sick and tired of getting chemo. She did eat a little bit tonight and I hope that she can drink enough that she won't need fluids tomorrow. That keeps them from having to access her port, which in turn makes her nauseated and she sometimes vomits. If she feels half decent, they will only give her the Neulasta injection.
Her hair is very sparse, and she thinks that she will shave her head before she goes back to camp. She doesn't want anyone to see her head-she said that is one thing that she will be very private about. Today she said that the way she looks and feels is the worst thing about this whole ordeal. She doesn't feel well enough to exercise, and she feels like her body is turning to mush! We are praying that this is only temorary, and that by this time next year she will be back to her old self!!!

Carli and all the Gerbers-
Half-way through!! Sorry this round was so rough. Hopefully you will feel better over the weekend and be able to enjoy camp. You all continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.
Carli,
You've been much stronger than I think I ever would be.
You'll make it through this. Don't get discouraged. You are still beautiful.
Gilda
