Another one down!

I had chemo treatment #3 this past week, so that means I only have 5 more! Well, I say only but 5 sure sounds like a lot to me...I guess after the next one I can at least say I'm half way through, huh?
This one was pretty much the same as the other 2 except for one thing...NO puking. Not even one time! Don't get me wrong, I thought I was going to all.day.long for 3 days, but never actually did the deed and for that, I'm thankful!
My mom works for a company that was able to work out something with my doctor to have me get the torture injections for my white blood cell count at home this time. This was a great blessing to me to say the least! Thankfully I didn't have to get off the couch, get dressed, load up in the car and go into the hospital (smelling food and dry heaving all the way) to get the shots for 3 days in a row. My mom was able to give me the shots (which I was told are less painful when given in the stomach...the verdict is still out on the truthfulness of that) and true to form, they made me ache and hurt all over for all 3 days, but they worked because on Friday my wbc count was up! So far, so good.
My mother-in-law came down on Wednesday to help me during my sick days, and she was an angel! I SO appreciate all the washing clothes, cleaning, taking care of the little one, cooking, and running errands she did for me. I have such a wonderful family and support system, and I honestly don't know how people get through this type of thing without it.

Today I was feeling much better, and the little one and I met my husband's aunt and her sweet mother & sister-in-law at the Fox for the Radio City Rockettes Christmas Show. It was SUCH an amazing experience, and I'm so thankful we were able to go! Unfortunately, I have no pictures to share, but we had a wonderful time with them :) I believe my little chickie has changed her future dream occupation from "Makeup Girl" to Rockette! Looks like I need to put her back in ballet/tap class asap!
Now I officially have the "holiday bug" and even did a little more Christmas shopping this evening. Hopefully I can talk my hubby into getting the Christmas decorations down soon so I can get a jump start on decorating while I feel up to it.
I feel so lucky to be alive, and I really think this Thanksgiving and Christmas will be a very special one for our family. We have SO MUCH to be thankful for!
