Made it Home Last Night, Sorry for No Update

We made it home last night. By the time we got home, it was about 7 pm and time for dinner and then getting the girls to bed, all the stuff in from the van and much needed sleep. I didn't get much sleep the night before, so I pretty much took care of the things that had to be done and then crashed. I should mention that Grandma M brought Sarah home and brought dinner for all of us and then helped get both girls to bed. Thanks Grandma M.

Today has been a hectic day. Daddy has had a crummy day with everything seeming to go wrong. I've been dealing with cranky girls most of the day and couldn't get them to both nap at the same time, so I never got a nap. I did rest for a while while Sarah played around me and Rebekah slept- Daddy said that wasn't fair. I'm not sure what "isn't fair" about it, it's not like that is great rest. This evening, while I was making dinner, the girls were not cooperating. Uugh!

Rebekah went to bed about 7 pm at her request, but woke up about 8 and won't go back to sleep. She is having to stay in bed, and not at all happy about that. If Mommy checks on her, she wants Daddy. If Daddy checks on her, she wants Mommy. She does not like it when she does not get her way. That is going to be a tough attitude to break. She has had a lot of attitude recently. Over the last week or so, she has pretty much requested that anyone but Mommy take care of things for her. That, of course, makes Mommy feel unappreciated.

It is turning out to be one of those weeks. As is becoming normal, once we are home from the hospital after chemo, we can expect nausea, vomitting, pain, and an otherwise pretty cranky girl. Not to mention a tired and less patient Mommy. This week is no exception. Her counts will be dropping, so we also have to watch for fever and any signs of low counts (lethargia, bruising, etc...).
