I slept mostly through the night. The first couple of days after my chemo infusion I feel like I could sleep for days but I am feeling very strong. Food is starting to taste weird and that is probably the hardest part for me because I’m such a foodie. I love food. All the foods so I miss that but the good news is that when foods taste good they taste really good and that is the week before my infusions and gives me the strength when I need it most. The silver lining is always there if we choose to look for it.
Owen was “upper night” as he says but it was almost five when he woke up. I will count that as sleeping pretty well. He was excited for his days ahead and processing December. It is so hard knowing that his Christmas break is already causing him so much anxiety. He wants his routine to be routine and the holiday breaks are extremely hard for him to understand. I keep telling him that he has several months to go before that and he will be in school all the days that he can be. I don’t want to even think about him not being able to go for other things like sickness or closures for random reasons. Plus, the Thanksgiving holiday that he hasn’t thought about yet.
He couldn’t wait to see his grandma. We got ready and I took him to his grandma’s house. He wanted me to take him and then she brought him back to me. He thinks they will go on long rides when she brings him back to me. He had a good time today and they were able to enjoy a campfire. He loves making s’mores with her.
We were going to pick up dinner but he decided he wanted pancakes instead. He was struggling a little bit in the car and he didn’t want to get anything while we were out. I have been taking turns with him on who gets to decide the direction they want to go to get places. This is not his favorite thing but I want to get him to understand that we both get to make decisions. He was already telling me that he gets to make the decisions about how we go to church tomorrow and I told him we each get a direction. I have to keep reinforcing the rules so that he doesn’t get upset every time we go someplace. As much as he doesn’t like it I think he is calmer most times in the car.
He was extremely happy with his pancakes and asked for more. I’m thankful he is a good eater and likes such a wide variety of food. He was calm the rest of the night and for this I was thankful. I wasn’t very hungry but I made myself eat and drink to keep my strength up.
Sleep was quick for Owen and I pray we both sleep all night. I am glad he had a good day and is looking forward to church tomorrow. He can’t wait to see his people. Blue pants were on his mind but I think December's thoughts are keeping blue pants on the back burner for now.
He sang many songs for me today and played his ukulele. That always makes me happy and my heart was full. He got into bed and asked me for a hug. I love when he requests hugs. I always tell him he is amazing and can do anything when he sets his mind to it. Know that you are amazing and you can cross the mountain that is in front of you. Smiles to all and donut daze!
