Thursday afternoon and evening Melanie was sick. Yesterday mid-morning the anti-nausea medicine wore off, sooner than we expected and Melanie got sick. Then she spent the rest of the day and evening trying to keep ahead of it, but nothing was staying down. Plus she hurt all over, sort of like the flu, but worse. Thankfully, she is doing much better today, still not 100% but she's able to keep food down and she doesn't hurt as bad. I don't think they told us there was going to be pain afterwords. Her little pharmacy is sitting on the bar, and we have to write down the meds and the time she takes them, so we know what she took when. Once her neck and the port area get better, she'll be down to 4 different kinds of medicine.
Yesterday, Tyler went in for a check up, He now weighs 6 pounds! He has also let us know he has some healthy lungs. :-)
The echo went well today. Melanie said that it looked like "something" was clapping. It didn't look like a heart to her. Rebekah was off school today, so she got to help her big sister by driving to and from the appointment.
Thought for the day: We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world ~ Helen Keller

Welcome
You are here because you have been asked to pray for Melanie. We are truly thankful that you have and will continue to pray for her throughout her illness. We would have a very hard time making it through the day without your prayers.
Melanie is 25 years old, the wife of Aaron, mother of Catie (6) and Jake (3), step-mother of Kaylie (7), and was 31 weeks pregnant when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma. She is also, my eldest daughter, my firstborn, whom I love.
HoMoleyCow comes from Jake putting his two favorite phrases together: Holy Moley and Holy Cow. He's 3 years old and a joy every minute. Every time he says it, it makes us smile and that is what we need the most right now.
We plan to provide frequent updates on Melanie's progress so check back often or subscribe to one on the "readers". A sincere thank you for your prayers and support. May God bless each and everyone of you.
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
