A Mover and A Shaker!

Yesterday I had an ultrasound. I'll be getting them every two weeks while I have my PICC line in place. I get to see my Dr. that often and a Home Health Nurse weekly. I am well cared for! Anyway, the ultrasound was amazing... just what I needed to lift my spirits high. God knows what I need, and He always comes through! This little baby was moving all over the place. The hands and feet were moving like crazy! My Dr. was laughing and I was in awe. For such a tiny little thing, that baby can move! I saw the legs and the arms and the head, such an amazing miracle. I was amazed at how much the baby had grown in two weeks. It will be fun to see the growth in two more weeks! Seeing the baby gave me a better sense of well being, knowing this is all so very worth it!
Hannah and Isaac got a T-ball set today. They enjoyed hitting the ball off the tee. Mimi Marci took some good pictures of them. Isaac would swing so hard he would fall down! Hannah was so excited to give it a try! They really had a good time. They also have been putting in hours at the park, which they love. Tomorrow we will go to a puppet show in Colfax and hopefully next Tuesday we will get to go to the circus that is coming to the fairgrounds! I know they would really enjoy that. We went last year too. It's fun to take advantage of events like that when they are actually fairly close by!
Aaron's last day of school, with kids, is tomorrow. I know he is really excited for summer break. He has some school stuff during the summer, but I don't think he has to be gone fore days at a time this year. I certainly am glad about that!
I'm doing fairly well. I do get tired quite easily, but am able to eat a little more. I'm drinking lemonade and that is staying down. I'm really hopeful that by next week I can go to IV fluids every other night rather than every night. I'm still religiously taking my Zofran. I don't think I'll back off on that for awhile yet. The 8mg doses seem to work fairly well, and I'm not anxious to go back to 4mg. It would be nice to be able to do oral Zofran by the time I leave on my trip to CA, the end of July. Hopefully I will be PICC line free by then, but I'm not going to push it. I'll keep my lifeline as long as I need it!
