This is what has been happening at our house, last night and this morning…
We had a great family get together yesterday afternoon and then Xani started barfing. Between last night and this morning she barfed 7 times….and we won’t event talk about what else was going on “behind the scenes” if you know what I mean….This morning she woke up with a fever…..this is so frustrating.
We moved Xani’s mattress into the TV room mostly to keep her and Geli separated. We are desperately hoping and praying that this “whatever it is” will skip Geli.
Over the weekend, Geli had a reaction to a bandaid and we think it’s a combination of the adhesive and the one chemo drug that she’s getting. Something similar happened once before. She has a bunch of blisters on her arm around where they drew blood on Wednesday and it hurts really bad. We have been applying Polysporin and praying that it just goes away and doesn’t cause any big problems. Her counts are high enough that we are hoping that she will be able to fight it off herself.
She did throw up her breakfast this morning though which scored her the right to stay at home today. And seeing as she is fine other than that barf…..I’m saying that it’s chemo related and not sickness related….at least it seems that way.
Jeremy also woke up this morning with his own “behind the scenes” action and he’s been alternately laying on the couch and laying in the bath this morning…..really not feeling very well at all. He keeps threatening to barf and we have a bowl close by, just in case.
There is a lot of soup and weak peppermint tea being handed out and we are praying that whatever this is….that it just stops now.
I was SO looking forward to everyone going back to school and Jon and I being able to relax on his one day off and nope…….so I’m pouting and whining a bit. I’ll be ok, but I’ve had enough of vomiting and diarrhea to last me a life time….
While I’m cleaning up vomit and other behind the scene messes…..do you have any humorous life stories to share with me? I’d love to hear from you….and I could really use the laugh today!
I was hoping maybe it was just all the wild meat…hmmmm. Someimte it can cause those types of reactions but probably not the fever, Praying for you all. Love you lots.
Oh man, I’m sorry 🙁 I wish I had something hilarious to share, only goofy toddler phrases right now. Hope and pray everyone is feeling better tomorrow. (and that you get that day off with Jon soon) (((HUGS)))
I had these exact same symptoms last Wednesday during spring break. It only lasted one day though, thankfully.
it is autumn leaves fall off the trees leaves all over the grass

My Dad’s Better Than Your Dad
Three boys on the playground were bragging about their dads. One said. “My dad scribbles a few words, calls it a song and they pay him 50 bucks.”
“Oh, yah. My dad scribbles a few words, calls it a poem and they pay him 100 bucks.”
“That’s nothin’,” said the third kid. My dad scribbles a few words, calls it a sermon and it takes six people to collect all the money!”
hey Patti did you get the daffodil pin. I am getting one today and wear it for Geli. Praying for you all. Miss you love Debra
