Jolene had her last chemo treatment in Round 8 this morning. This has been a rough one. They gave us another nausea medicine to rotate in so we can try to keep the Tylenol down. Let's just say that we are keeping the washing machines busy...

I am amazed at how resilient she is; yesterday, she was running a 104.6 fever and grinning at me while I was taking her temperature. And, not to worry, her attitude is fully intact. The sicker she feels, the more volatile that temper trigger.

She is big into scrunching up her mouth & nose and snorting. She pops her lips to let you know that she is hungry or thirsty. When she feels bad, she refuses to even look at people when they talk to her. She'll flip that head around in a second. What a hoot!

Please keep lifting her in prayer as we make it through this last day of treatment this Round. We are ready for No Mo Chemo!!!
