Ready for Battle

Happy Monday! I started the allopurinal and baby aspirin yesterday. I took the allo with my breakfast. When they say may cause drowsiness they weren't kidding. It was all I could do to get up from the sofa. So I have a new strategy today. I am going to take it with dinner that way I can just settle in for the evening. I am going to take my chemo pill at 8:00 every night and that way I can just hopefully sleep off any side effects from both meds and hopefully by morning be feeling okay. Mattea's last day of school is the 26th which works out perfect because my first infusion is June 29th. I have help all week with the babies just in case and Scott has been taking Fridays off. These babies are SO good they make being a Grandma easy. I have to say I am enjoying every minute of it. They are just the cutest babies ever and so super sweet. I love the weekends but I love Mondays even more when I get to see the babies. My sister-in-law, Tana, said they are going to stop every night at 8:00 when I am taking the chemo pill and say a prayer. That was so nice and I think that is a great idea. If you read this and you have a moment, pray for me at 8:00 p.m. when I take my chemo pill. The power of prayer is awesome and I am praying that these meds do their job with little or no side effects and help my body do its job getting rid of the cancer. Thanks everyone and I will let
you know how I do with the drugs in a day or two. Love, Vicki
