Tuesday's Child is Full of Grace

Another successful round of chemo today. Mom called me about 5:30 p.m. on the way home from the hospital. She feels fine. She was disappointed that the Benadryl administered prior to the chemo injection didn't make her sleepy - she didn't get enough sleep last night. I asked her if she told them she loves morphine. She said she's sure everyone at the hospital knows she loves morphine.

She mentioned to one of her health care workers that she was concerned about her weight, and the person jokingly told her she should stay on steroids all the time. But Mom has a secret weapon that's cheaper and more accessible than steroids.

We're thankful for God's grace, for good reactions to chemo, for your prayers, and for ice cream sundaes.
