I cannot even believe it. Oscar is sick again. He is really puny. Monday morning about 5:30 am he woke with a very high fever and croupy cough. All day yesterday and today he has been spiking the super high temps, like 105 again. He has been sleeping for almost 3 hours this afternoon. That is very unlike him...the energizer bunny.
I know there were some kids at school that were sick. I am keeping him home again tomorrow. I do not want to expose anyone to this....it is not fair.
This will be the true test of my white blood cell strength and immune system stamina. Lets see if I can avoid this for the second time. I accept the challenge. :-)
Chemo went good today. My dear friend Linda rearranged her whole day to be with me. I LOVE spending time with her so it was a great day! I actually got to go to chemo even though I had a sick, sick little boy at home. Ya know why...? Two words: LOR.RIE !!! (or Lorly as Angelica calls her). My dear, sweet, ever-faithful, unwaveringly supportive, sister-like friend Lorrie hopped into her car and came to the rescue early this morning. Not only did she give up her whole, precious day but I came home to an immaculate house. I did my best not to gush my thanks to Lorrie and/or Linda...instead I tried to bask in the love they poured over me today. You girls are so wonderful...thank you so much for lightening my load today!

Your friends are a direct reflection of who you are. You would do the same for them if the moment arose. I think it is a great thing that you just enjoyed their kindness. You deserve it!

Maureen, I'm so sorry to hear that Oscar is sick again! I hope he feels better soon and that you will be able to avoid it. Wash your hands frequently! I hope chemo went well for you yesterday. I was thinking of you.

Thank goodness for friends....where would we be without them. I heard you saw our video we made when the girls were here with me in Omaha. Isn't it brilliant.....I watch it over and over. I am excited for the time when you are able to come and do the walk with us.

Mimi, I loved reading about Aimee and Lorrie - such precious friends they are, as are all your friends. What a blessing.
Seeing the video of Oscar did my heart good - that boy has the best laugh - but I'm sorry he is sick again. I am praying God's protection over you so that you and Angelica remain healthy.
Missing you all and loving you more.
