The end of another week has arrived, and wow, am I wiped out. I was able to meet both of mom's oncologists, and I really like the radiation doc. He is so convinced that this is all going to be fine and I appreciate (and need) that attitude. Unfortunately, Mom has begun to experience some unpleasant side-effects and her spirits are down. The throat is taking a direct hit from the radiation, and eating is very challenging right now. Wednesday also marked six months that Dad has been gone. I just truly can't fathom that I've lived an entire 1/2 year without him around. Honestly though, for the most part, I'm doing okay because I honestly have too much other stress to feel sad about him being gone.
I was supposed to attend a funeral visitation this evening to pay my respects to a high school classmate and family who lost her sister recently (I know, WAY TOO MANY trips to funeral homes lately), but I'm not sure that is going to happen. Thomas began vomiting after school yesterday, and just simply can't keep anything in his stomach. There is absolutely nothing I hate more than sick kids. When he was a toddler/preschooler he managed to catch EVERYTHING that every went around, and while he had some good years early in elementary, we seem to be back on that path. We have some fun family plans tomorrow before I go spend the day helping Mom on Sunday, and I truly hope that he is well enough that we can actually do them!
