Katie's appetite seems to be returning. She is eating a little more today than yesterday. She has had a good day today. The nights are still long. Katie has been crying during the night, on the average of 3 times a night. Today I decided to stop waiting for that to stop. Every night, I think, "Maybe tonight we will get a full nights sleep." But, I think we are in this for the long haul - the long nights. So, we am ready to accept this as part of our "new routine". Katie has her next chemo treatment on Monday, so we will make the most of this weekend!
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow" (Melody Beattie). Today we are glad for the gifts gratitude brings.
So crazy that just a month ago she was eating everything in sight. What a roller coaster for her and especially you. I hope you have a beautiful weekend. Love to you ALL. Nan
ReplyDeletewish we had a light that went on to tell us when we were available. ha ha.. i was up all night with Avery. So if we are up we should talk. I know it's hard. i think lack of sleep is the hardest part. Avery has finally gotten back into a better sleeping pattern. Teething was super hard on her and we were up at night for months and months. I feel your pain. Hope somehow it will ease up for you both. Love ya!
