It's almost 11 p.m. and we are getting ready to crawl into bed at my house in Austin.
Mom's chemo went really well today - we don't think she's really experienced any side effects yet. She did have a little bit of nausea, but it's more likely that it was from the whole emotional ride the last 30 hours have been.
Mom should have flown out of Austin today at 5:30, but we weren't quite sure we could make it to the airport on time (if we did, it would have been WITHOUT her luggage) so we booked her on a 7 a.m. flight tomorrow morning.
Mom spent the evening with me planting my flower bed! (Pictures to follow). I thought that was a great way end the first day of a chemo infusion and kick some cancer butt!
Thank you all for your love and prayers - we needed it so much today. Whenever I received a comment on the blog or an email, I had to hand the computer over to Mom to read it because I couldn't read it out loud without bursting into tears, nor could Mom. We love you all!
And, more than anything, praises to God for a smooth first day of chemo. The side effects on the labels are miles long - but God, and only God, can hold 'em all back.

I am so glad the first day went well and she is always in my prayers. I wanted to attach a website of one of my bestfriends daughter. My friend is Susan and teaches in Andrews. Her daughter had twins one year ago and the girl (the other is a boy) was born very early with many medical problems and the doctors said she would never survive. Well here it is a year later and she is proving them all wrong. Talk about faith!!! It is amazing what God does in people's life.

I think it is so cool you have set up this blog. I am so glad I have been able to help Sherrie a little bit as part of God's plan to be living near MD Anderson. It has been wonderful to see all the blessings and hear the latest news about her challenging road along the way to healing her body from the breast cancer. I wish I was living in this house longer so there would be a continuous close place to stay. God has provided so far so I'm sure He will continue to provide a location for Sherrie to stay in order to finish all the chemo treatments successfully. Yall all are in my prayers!
Love, Crystal
