This is Adam - finally today we had the last round of the "AC" drugs. These are rough drugs that have really knocked out Kristy for a week - this is the last time, then in 2 weeks we move to a weekly drug that makes one more tired instead of nauseous.
As her husband it is so strange - Kristy is up and active and then we get the chemo drugs ...about 1 to 2 hours later Kristy just starts to fade. I was in sorting some clothes tonight and Kristy wandered in to try to help. She was standing, then she was sitting on a bean bag, then she was horizontal and then starting to doze all in a 5 minute span at about 5 pm.
She had acupuncture yesterday and they switched one of the nausea drugs so I am very hopeful she will feel better than the last 3 rounds.
At this Thanksgiving time, I am thankful to be around such a wonderful friend and partner in life. It is good to be near Kristy. As I was doing things around the house, each of the children came in from school and checked in with her. Kristy was tired but alert and talked with each one of them. It is strange and wonderful how close this is pulling our family together. Her sister and husband and their kids are coming to spend time with our kids. Kristy will rest and be happy knowing our kids are having time with their cousins.
love this post. so inspiring to see how you are all pulling closer together. thinking of you guys today and so thankful for you. best wishes for a peaceful, relatively pain free day.
ReplyDeleteAdam-how you and Kristy love each other unconditionally and support each other is beautiful. Love you both.
ReplyDeleteWe love you guys. We are so happy that the cousins can be together. That will be a healing balm. I ALWAYS feel better when Stephanie is around. And it has always made me happy through the years to watch Stephanie and Kristi together. What a good thing that will be. We are thankful for you the holes family.
