If only I were referring to a baseball game... but I digress. Hi it's Scott. Janet had her last A/C chemo on Friday. The cumulative effect of the chemo is catching up with Janet a bit and she is more tired than normal. She had more fluids during the procedure itself (which interestingly caused her eyes to water if she leaned to the side a few hours after treatment) also seems to have helped the headaches. As usual Janet was and is up and around trying to lead as normal a life as she can.
Somehow though normal now includes a Sponge Bob tattoo on the back of her head. Interesting, and somewhat thankfully not permanent - but hey, who am I to talk.
Anyway, Janet is doing well and is very thankful for the messages she receives daily from well wishers. They really do mean a lot to her.
Trying to be even remotely as strong and stubborn as his mom, Andrei has started to put weight on his ankle and is generally getting around a lot better. Just in time for spring chores!
So in general, the infirmary known as the Slaughter household is doing well and we will keep you posted as Janet begins Taxol in a few weeks.

Hey, I have a tattoo like that on the back of my head, too! Actually, it is on the back of my neck and it looks more like Olive Oil.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about Andrei's basketball injuries. I've seen him play a couple of times on Mike H's team, and I am impressed.
Hope you are all doing well.
Janet...couldn't you think of something better than SpongeBob? He has a few issues! Hope your ankle is good enough to help out now that you're on Spring break, Andrei!! Prayers are flowing your way, Janet!! XOXO!
ReplyDeleteHi Janet,
ReplyDeleteCan you believe this is my first time on a blog - oh that's right you probably can since you know I have never even texted anyone. We have been thinking of you - hope you are enjoying break. I think I have quite an assortment of tatoos in my prize box at school if you are tired of Sponge Bob. Just let me know if you are up for a change! Julie
