DAY 11 POST CHEMO- The past few days I have felt foggy and totally out of it… I thought for sure I would be in the clear after receiving IV hydration this past Wednesday! It was a little bit of a bummer, but I woke up today feeling much better!! I think I will always have chemo fog but feeling “clearer” feels great! Jamie brought the kids to a trampoline birthday party! Unfortunately, I stayed home because of my baby immune system… I need to be super careful! Getting sick could prevent me from getting my next chemo infusion or even worse be hospitalized due to my immune system not being able to fight simple viruses and bacteria! So scary!! Trying to avoid anything indoors (which has been pretty easy in the world we live in today)! Amazon, grocery delivery, drive-thru pharmacy, outdoor dining and food deliveries, etc.! We then went to my in-laws and ordered Thai (one of my FAVORITES)! Did a little easter egg hunt outside. I even had the energy to play soccer with the kids! It was a great night!

DAY 12 POST CHEMO- Happy Easter everyone!! I woke up this morning feeling good… not foggy at all! Phew… maybe I won’t feel like this through the ENTIRE chemo journey! We celebrated Easter at my Mom and Dads house. Did a massive egg hunt with the kids and their cousins. We hid them so well we couldn’t find the last egglol! My Mom cooked a ham dinner… I am not a huge ham fan but wow was it delicious!! I then hit the biggest wall and was exhausted by afternoon!! I napped at my parents house before going home. My niece at one point said “is Auntie Kelly OK” and my daughter replied, “Oh she’s fine… she just needs to sleep a lot”. It made me chuckle… my kids have just been so awesome and understanding that Mommy needs her rest and gets tired often. Overall, such a great Easter!!
