I am so sorry that I have not posted since July! It has been a crazy summer to say the least.
All five kids stayed home this summer and I was the acting cruise director. UGH! The kids actually did pretty well. They spent time with their grandparents and we went on a lot of day trips.
Thank G-D for my oldest daughter who helped me a lot with the kids this summer! I was able to do my work thanks to her help. We did some special one on one things together when Dad was home. She is really growing up into a beautiful young woman.
My hematologist/oncologist said that he wanted to give me a solid two months before he checked my blood again to determine whether we can start weening off the Hydroxyurea (HU). I will be going to the Dr. next week and I will post an update. (I am wondering if he wanted to wait for two months because he knew the kids were going to be home and I would bring them in with me? Hummmmm LOL) Meanwhile, the HU is still making me so tired. Also, my teeth are starting to have a lot of problems. I am wondering if this is a side effect of the meds? I never really had any issues before my diagnosis with Essential Thrombocythemia.
I hope everyone out there is doing well and I will start posting regularly soon! The kids go back to school on Monday! =)
