Today was what we have come to expect from day 3.  That's good and bad.  It's good that there isn't anything out of the ordinary.  It's bad because Cathy just feels rotten.  She's spent most of the day in bed, in and out of sleep.  She has come downstairs a couple of times to eat a little jello and refill her water.  Other than that she hasn't eaten much since Tuesday morning.  She's lost 6 pounds since Monday, which has also come to be typical.  I expect that she'll gain most of it back early next week.  It's sad and hard to see, but she's tough and cool about it.  She doesn't complain, except that when I made pickles today she told me it smelled bad and she had to go back upstairs.  She also asked me to stop rocking Clara in the glider next to the bed because she was getting seasick.  Aside from that she just plugs along.  What a tough cookie.

  1. Cathy, and Micah,
    We think of you both and all daily and are wishing you well and hoping that this round soon ends for you and you are back in the eating and enjoying phase again. Our hearts go out to you and having been through chemotherapy with my Father, I know what a walk in the park it is not!!! You are both so strong and determind. Know that will pay off in spades and many many years down the road. Hang in there and keep the faith. We are all praying for you all! If you want to come down for some r&r and pool time, please feel free to do so, and you could even stay at the 607 Club and pretend it is a resort!!!!! Feel free to do so and we would really love it. Would even make Cathy anything she thinks she could eat, and the boys too. Would even go to bed early so you and Cathy could do some late night swimming alone. Hang in there. We love you all!
    Love, Janny and Mac
