This week mom was pretty tired and feeling nasty most of the week. I think she was pretty worried about the toll this will all end up taking on her energy and ability to live normally for the next few months. She'll have to get into the details of that, but she seemed to be down and that Disney visit seemed less probable and more distant.
Wednesday of this week she was reading over the papers her doctors gave her and saw that she was supposed to replace a lot of electrolytes. So Becky, the little Gatorade Hoarder, fetched her a Gatorade, and I'm not sure the speed of it but mom says she felt much much better. Went to work all week even when she was struggling, which I'm sure made feeling better a huge relief so work would be a little easier.
Just to clarify the title, no, Gatorade does not fight cancer. Just helps ya feel better I guess! Mom's like an athlete right now fighting this every day, so guess she needs her Gatorade too. The turnaround due to the electrolytes seems to be a big boost for her, and things are looking up once again. She's up at Jenny's soccer game at Denison right now with Aunt Judi, so getting around and out fine! She'll be able to tell you better than I can how she really feels. But for now, prayers are helping her along and all of your thoughts and words are little blessings in each day.
