Feeling Yucky

I just wanted to let you know what has been happening.

First of all, Sol’s band didn’t make it to the next round of the radio contest, but it was fun while it lasted. The thing that frustrates them is that the bands that made it weren’t the “best” ones. I’m sure he’ll write more about it soon.

Secondly, I just had one of the worst nights of my life. I spent most of night violently vomiting. I must have thrown up 20 times. It just wouldn’t stop. I tried taking the anti-nausea pill, but couldn’t keep it down. So in the morning we called the doctor, and he prescribed a different form of medicine (if you catch my drift). Anyway, it worked, and I stopped throwing up. The drugs knocked me out, and it was really welcomed after three days of not sleeping well. I am scared to eat anything, but am starting to feel a little hungry, which is good, I guess. I didn’t go to work yesterday and will not be going in today either. Hopefully, by tomorrow, I will be feeling much better.

Thirdly, Kai and Daddy are at the doctor’s office. When we picked Kai up from daycare yesterday, his right eye was swollen, red and full of goop. He woke up yesterday at 5:00 and didn’t eat much of anything yesterday either, so after calling the doctor last night, we decided to take him in today. I’m sitting here waiting for Daddy to call as I type this.
Today I have an appointment with the plastic surgeon to discuss options for reconstruction. I am really nervous about even talking about it. It means that it is actually going to be happening. Anyway, I’m going to go rest and wait for news.

    Waiting for news about Kai cannot be fun, especially since you’re feeling yucky yourself. I’ve been sending lots of non-pukey prayers your way, hoping you’ll be feeling better again soon.

    You’re in my thoughts and as always, if there is anything at all I can do for any of you, please let me know.

    Love you.

    (Sorry about the band and belated Happy Birthday to Sol.)

    xo, Wendi

    Oh Monica, I’m so very sorry!! DANG GIRL!! You are having to endure TOOOOOOOOO much!!!!!
    Bless your heart! I put you on the prayer list again at church on Sunday. I had no idea you had been so sick either, but God put you on my heart. Now I know why. I’m so thankful that I listen to Him.
    Love and prayers,
    Renae and Herb too

    I came across a video on YouTube today that I think portrays perfectly the effect, emotion, and battle that cancer can be. I am going to try and attach the link, but if it doesn’t work. Search Nicole Johnson on YouTube and watch her video “stepping into the rink”

    I’ve seen Nicole Johnson perform many times, she writes books, speaks at conferences and performs drama’s for women and girls nation wide. She’s captured this one pretty well.

    Many prayers!
