I am feeling unusually good for a treatment day.  They had me take 5 steroid pills last night before bed and five more this morning.  Then they pumped in more steroid before I got the Taxol.  I had a funny experience last night.  I was a little uptight about taking the pills before bed.  The nurse said that if I took them too early, they would rev me up and keep me awake all night.  Like I need that!  I decided to take my Ambien (the most awesome sleeping pill ever invented) about 11:30, then wait 20-30 minutes to eat a little cereal so I could take the steroid.  At 4:00 this morning, I suddenly woke up in a panic because I didn't remember taking my steroid pills before I fell asleep.  I was worried that would impact the treatment, but decided after a long while that the nurse would know what to do.  Surely I am not the only that has forgotten all of my pills!  I was in and out of sleep for the rest of the night.  When the sun came up and my room was light enough to see, I saw a bowl and a spoon on the floor that had cereal residue in it.  Then I found my pill bottle and discovered 5 pills were missing.  I must have, in a zombie state, done those things.  I have no recollection of it!  Hilarious!

Mat's parents came today to help with the kids.  They willingly come and spend the whole day, cleaning everything in sight and doing laundry.  It is such a help to us.  We are so grateful for their love and support!  I've been basking in the "fun" of the party last night.  What a great time to be surrounded by so many people that have given so much to us.  I've heard from a few others today that couldn't come for one reason or another.  We feel your love and and can't thank you enough for all you have done for us.  We'll do this again after I do my last treatment, which will by MAY 17th!!!!!  I can't wait!
