Lisa got home from the hospital Monday, and had a good day. She even got out for a mani/pedi!!  Then, she started the Neupogen shot (the one for 5 days in a row after chemo).  She is having a rough time with it.  It makes the long bones in her body hurt as it is working to help with her white blood cell count.  She will finish the shots on Sat., and is looking forward to some GOOD days before next Friday's CT Scan and Chemo.

Lisa is doing a lot better at this time. She just finished eating Thai food, and is now taking a nap. She has about an hour left of the last bag of the chemo cocktail!  She has been up walking around today.  She is looking forward to going home in the morning.

Lisa started her chemo around noon. She is having a rough time with it. She is in a lot of pain. She would love to answer your emails, texts, phone calls, but isn't feeling like it right now.  She does appreciate everyone's support and prayers.  Please pray for the pain to subside and for this round to not be so harsh on her body.

Lisa checked in the hospital this morning for round 4. She was able to walk to her room (she has needed a wheelchair in the past).  She said that she feels great this time!  She will be in the hospital until Monday. The doctor told her that the CT Scan would be done at the beginning of round 5--which will be in 2 weeks.  She was a little disappointed at having to wait longer for the results, but that just gives God more time to do his miraculous work in her:)  Please pray that she will have an "easy" weekend with this chemo.

Just got a call from Lisa.....she was at Panera Bread enjoying a nice lunch with mom!  They also made a stop at WalMart for a few items!  Lisa REALLY enjoyed getting out in the real world and feeling a little "normal" again.  She did wear a mask---can't take a chance of catching anything!!  She said her legs felt a little like jello since they haven't been used much:)  It's great news that she's getting up and moving around!   God is so good!!!!

Monday, October 18

Lisa had a great weekend! She even ventured out for some filet mignon with her hubby!  She is working on getting up more and moving around this week to regain her strength. She is scheduled to be admitted Friday for her 4th round of chemo.  She will be in the hospital all weekend, and then hopefully do a CT scan before going home.  We are praying for miraculous results from this chemo.  Lisa would love reading your comments on her blog, as stated before, or you can email her at helplisafight@yahoo.com.

Lisa is feeling a little better. She is very tired and a little nauseous.  She is able to keep up her appetite...she had 3 bowls of Cinnamon Toast Crunch yesterday for breakfast:) 
She is continuing to regain her strength after this last round of chemo.  She would love to read your comments to her blog.  Her days are long, so anything that can boost her spirit would be awesome!
Thank you for your continued prayers.

Monday, October 11

Lisa was released to go home this morning!  Everything went well with this third round of chemo, and she is scheduled to do the fourth round on the 22nd of this month.  She isn't feeling very well today, but we know God is continuing to take care of her.  When she leaves the hospital following chemo, her immune system is very low.  She is taking every precaution to avoid catching any virus or bug out there!

Great news today!!!  Lisa's doctor said that the chemo MUST BE WORKING because Lisa has not had any fluid return to her abdomen.  If you remember from the past, she has had to have this drained a few times....several liters!! So, this was wonderful news to all of us! We all NEEDED to hear something positive!  Your prayers and support are working:)  Thank you GOD!!!
Lisa is scheduled to finish chemo tomorrow night and then be released to go home on Monday.  Her next chemo will be in 2 weeks, followed by a CT scan around Halloween!  At this time she will have completed 4 rounds of chemo, and we are very anxious to see what's been going on inside her body!
I know she would love to read any comments you have to this blog! Her husband just bought her a lap top, so she would love to read your thoughts and prayers!  Keep the FAITH!!!!

Lisa is scheduled to begin chemo tomorrow.  She has been taking antibiotics for the infection in her throat.  Now that she is not doing this through an IV, and is taking her meds orally, she can begin chemo.  She is so ready to get round 3 going and get back to her home.  She will be in the hospital throughout the weekend.  She is still requesting no visitors at this time, but she is very appreciative of the prayers and support everyone is giving her and her family.  Also, a big thank you to those of you who have been providing meals for them.  God Bless you all.

Tuesday, Oct. 5

Monday was a rough day, but Lisa was given antibiotics and a steroid throughout the night to fight the infection.  She was able to start talking, and eating, by morning.  She wanted 3 breakfast burritos!!!!--and some chocolate covered raisins!!  Her throat was not hurting, and she is feeling 100% better.  She is hoping to start chemo tomorrow or Thurs.  She will remain in the hospital for the rest of the week.  Thank you for your prayers!!!

Monday October 4th

Lisa had a nice weekend with family but, on Sunday night had to go back to the ER and is now admitted again at St. John's.  She was scheduled to have chemo again today but due to an infection in her throat she is not strong enough.  Lisa is not able to eat or talk so it has been a rough 24 hours!  Please continue to keep her health, her strength, and her family in your prayers!  Thanks for all of your support!

Friday October 1st

Lisa has done much better with the chemo this time around.  She is resting up to start again on October 4th.  Please continue to keep her in your prayers and thanks so much for all of your support!
