Well, Mama Bear is ready for hybernation.  The family and house are prepared for my absense and it’s time for cycle #3.  By this Friday at 3pm, I’ll be HALF WAY DONE!

Today, I’ll have chemo, I’ll be able to eat with the family and check up on homework, and then I’ll go to bed early - maybe 7ish.

Tomorrow, I’ll have chemo, eat with the family, and then straight to bed.

Friday, I’ll have chemo and then straight to bed, and except for going “potty”, I won’t resurface until sometime Saturday night or Sunday morning.  During that time, you can have fun talking to me (if I can get the words out), but my mind is very foggy and I may say some hilarious things (I won’t remember).

Sunday is the day my body comes alive.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t do that very gracefully.  I’ll have my overheating, nausea (although I’m going to try another type of pill Saturday night to see if that helps), tinkling, dizziness and seeing spots, unable to walk well, lots of potty etc.

Monday, my body will finish waking up, my mind will start to reappear and I’ll make sense and be able to think and talk, and the light at the end of the tunnel will be shinning brighter.

I WILL COME OUT OF FULL HYBERNATION!  SO, if you want a laugh, call me between Friday night and Saturday. I can use prayers for Sunday and Monday.  If you want a “real” adult conversation, you’ll need to wait until Monday afternoon when my hybernation is completed (lol).

Praise God that I know He is my strength, my hope, my heavenly Daddy.  He will never leave me - He is holding my hand through my entire hybernation process.  You may not be going through hybernation - but you probably are going through something - we all do.  He can be the same for you!  All it takes is for you to ask Him.

1. God does promise that HE will never leave or forsake us, what a promise.

   Know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers, as will Lon and the kids.

   Love you bunches!
