hello again :)

hi everyone. another day at the hospital just hanging out :) the perks of being in peds is fun yesterday and elvis santa and reindeer came in and they were hilarious and it cheered me up :) I'm thankful for all my visitors so thank you to everyone I know its a nasty drive and all :) I haven't had any major issues, im really handling the chemo a lot better than i thought I was going to. The only issues I've had really are not being able to sleep and sweating like a nasty man which WOULD be embarassing, except they told me it happens to most teens so i didn't feel as scummy. But the not being able to sleep part is kinda annoying, even with my sleeping pill last night I was kinda on and off but I got more than the night before, so it helped a bit. They're monitoring my breathing 'cause i was a little short of breathe last night, but after x-rays we found out its just my old asthma acting up under the stress my body is being put through, so we had an albuterol (can't spell) breathing treatement and it helped me right out. So the timing is weird because i started so late, so my chemo usually starts and ends on midnight.. but hopefully I go home tomorrow (sunday) but it might be Monday morning. I've got a nurse coming to the house Monday to show us how to give me a lovely at home shot that costs more than Alex's car, and then hopefully I'll feel well for x-mas eve dinner :) wouldn't miss cara and tom's beef with hollindaise sauce for the world. Anyways, i think this vicodin is making me ramble. lots of love...
