SO I GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL ON WEDNESDAY AT 1PM AND FROM THERE I WENT STRAIGHT TO CHEMO , THEN LATER THAT NIGHT AT ABOUT 3AM I BEGAN TO THROW UP AGAIN AND RUN THE FEVER. I DON'T KNOW IF IT CAUSE OF THE MEDS OR JUST THE CHEMO TAKING ITS TOLE. WHEN I GOT TO THE CHEMO APPT ON THURSDAY THE NURSE GAVE ME A DOSE A PHENERGRAN . LETS JUST SAY I DID NOT WAKE UP TILL FRIDAY AT 330 AM THAT MED JUST KNOCKED ME OUT. IT WAS GOOD THOUGH I ACTUALLY SLEPT MORE THAN 2 HOURS. I GOT COREY BACK ON WEDNESDAY IT WAS WONDERFUL TO SEE HIS SMILE. SO THE GIRLS AND HIM WANTED TO SWITCH WEEKENDS WHICH WORKS OUT FOR ME CAUSE I CAN HAVE ALL THREE OF THEM TOGETHER AND WE CAN HAVE THE WHOLE WEEKEND TOGETHER THE THREE KIDS AND ME.
