Yesterday no post, I had a hard day, extreme fatigue hit me in the am and
I literally slept on and off all day, i think it is a combo of the drugs I been getting, the pill I took to help me sleep the night before which I never take at home and the chemo. Needless to say it was a long day, Steven spent way to much alone.
I had an ultrasound on my arms, to be sure that the blood clots that I had during my last treatment were gone, and they were. Also I had a baseline catscan to check my head, sinuses, chest, overall I am told that was fine too.
Moffit is a teaching hospital, so I have lots of interns, fellows and doctors in and out checking, daily nurse and tech, and the main doctors. We are still trying to get to know all of them, overall everyone is wonderful and we are happy here. In their words this morning, I am doing as well as they would suspect for the meds
I am receiving. Today is delay 4 out of 5 of chemo, with a senesis push, last one of those too.
We could use some prayers for little Olivia, yesterday she got sent home from school with a fever, and went to pediatrician, she has tonsellitis, she has a high fever, no strep but is not feeling well. After ped she had to go back to ER to have her last blood test to make sure kumadin did not effect her blood. She is fine on that front, had a flu test and that was negative too, she went home with Grandma and was resting last night with a lower fever, she is home today to get better. We are just hoping that no one else comes down with it. Plans to bring them here this weekend might be out because she cant be here if sick, and Steven would not be able to come back after being near sickies.
Big thank you to Mom Russo for taking such good care of Olivia and being with her, To Amber our sitter for being with the kids and making sure they are having a lot of fun durind the day, to Scott and Carla for pitching in and taking care of the kids yesterday and to Natalie and Gene for taking them on Saturday and helping. To Nina and Chris for helping out and taking us to the aiport we left and checking in on us non stop and the kids, really a big shout out to all that are taking care of the kids and checking in on us, we could not do it without you!

Hi, KIM. I found your blog again and put into my favorites, so I can keep up with what you are going through. But is it better to reach you on facebook or does it really matter? I hope today is a good day for you. I pray for only positive things to happen for you. I'll try to drop you a little not most days. Love you all! Hang in there!
Love,
Aunt PaTTI
To everyone that is helping Kim and Steven, with the children, Thank You from her family here in NY, as we can not be there right now, and we do not know what we would do without all of you helping out with our beautiful grandchildren. THanks from the bottom of our hearts. Love Kim's Mom
Hello Kim:
i felt so sad when I heard about Olivia, I cannot believe that happen, but glad to hear that she is ok. I just want to tell you that I am always thinking and praying for you to be strong and with positive energy. I want to know whereI can reach the kids.
