This past weekend was my fourth treatment. Things have gone well so far. I have not had a lot of bad side effects, other than some sensitivity to cold and some tingling sensations in my hands and lips. Those feelings go away eventually and by the next week after treatment I start to feel a lot better. I am glad I can still work, although I am slower right now than I would like. There is a wellness program at HCH that I have been participating in since the middle of last month. Sometimes it takes a lot out of me, but I am happy to be able to be as active as I am, and appreciate the push that gives me.
Teresa has been a great support, I don't know what I would do without her. The kids have been troopers dealing with this. We have tried to do a few fun things, most recently being the launch party for Janitors 2 by Tyler Whitesides on Saturday night. I have also felt very touched by the kind words and thoughts from family and friends.
I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for me and our family. I wish I knew a little more about how it will turn out, but I know it will be for good. How could it not be?
Anyway, I will let Teresa take the writing responsibility back. She enjoys it a lot more than I do.

Thanks for adding your two cents, Layne. Your choosing to be positive has been a teaching point with our kids when they are complaining. I am sure Teresa is a huge support.

Layne, it is good to hear from you. I am so sad that you and your family have to go through this. I'm glad I could see you, even though briefly, at Grandpa's viewing. You and Theresa have been in my thoughts and prayers. If there is ever anything I can for you or your family, I am just a hop, skip, and jump away down here in Saratoga Springs. I'm glad to call you cousin!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it's great to hear directly from you, Layne! (Of course, I always appreciate Teresa's updates as well!) I am truly in awe of your incredible attitude. Like Cyndi said, you and Teresa both are an inspiration to the rest of us. We love you guys. Carolynn
ReplyDeletePS I was thinking that with your last treatment, you jumped from being 1/4 done to 1/3 done with your treatments! Hooray for math when it works in your favor. So glad to hear the side affects aren't any worse than they are, at least for now. Keep us posted.
Thanks Layne. I appreciate your faith in God's plan. Sometimes it is so hard to trust that (believe me, I know). But you are right. It will all be for good. Love you!
