It's Good to be Back!

Today Shermance was bright as sunshine, beaming and glowing.  She's back to herself.  After so many days of being down in the dumps she was expecting sluggish lethargy to be her demeanor for the upcoming weeks until she switches chemo treatments.  "It's amazing to have energy again. I feel like myself." Finally! It's the last day of her 4-day work week and she (along with her mom and Parker) are heading to Bastrop after work to be with family for her birthday. I'll meet them after work tomorrow.

At her office, they celebrated birthdays yesterday with good eats, fun and lots of patients.  Shermance and Alanna, the office manager, which is half of the small practice, both have birthdays this week, so it's as big as it gets! That helped lift her spiritis and her better feeling continued last night.  After a full day at work (9 patients), she had enough energy to make a great meal, plated up and ready when Parker and I arrived home.

Until today, she hadn't been resting well.  Now her heart has stopped racing.  Her skin doesn't ache as badly even to the touch.  So last night she was able to get good rest.
Speaking of rest, we were afraid Logan wasn't getting his share.  His stuff had been completely drenched Tuesday evening at Boy Scout camp.  His tent was hardest hit by the storm and he had standing water in the bottom.  He was having a tough time.  He really wanted to call home, but by policy they keep the boys from calling home to avoid furthering homesickness. He had a better day and seems to be coping fine.  We look forward to seeing him Friday night for family BBQ at the camp.
