Fundraiser night!

I am going to the 4Triple5 Fundraiser tonight that was put together by my wonderful and dear friend Robin and many others who have also done so much to help. It is at 8 tonight so I am going to the Falls this afternoon to get a few things done before hand. It will be difficult for me to be at the fundraiser... It's all in effort to help us. But I am such a independent person and I don't like asking for help. But I really don't have much choice considering I am not working and have a house and 2 kids to look after. I don't know what I would do without the amazing efforts of all my friends and family. Thank you so very much!

Lyric has developed some sores in his mouth.. which is a side effect to the chemo. It can get worse, so we are hoping by taking care of his mouth well it won't. It hurts for him to have anything acidic so it's back to bland baby food... he's not going to like that!

He is also Neutropenic today.. and will be for about 2 weeks. As I mentioned in an earlier post being neutropenic is difficult. He has absolutely NO immunity at all. This will be difficult for me in some ways where I have to balance going shopping, keeping everyone who is symptomatic away, and make people wash their hands constantly... can't really go to public places. So we will be locked in the house for a couple weeks.

They said Lyric could go out again today for a couple hours but its cold, and we don't have any warm clothing here.. and can't go to public places so we are staying in.

His hair is starting to fall out. He's been really good about it, he's accepted he will be bald. He makes some jokes about it. He is going to look like a different boy without hair!!

Something kinda funny..

My cousin saw a psychic last night. This psychic knew about Lyric, mentioned what he had, and that he would be fine. But also mentioned he needed to been seen by a Naturopath... and this was all without my cousin saying anything!! interesting huh!

  1. Regarding Lyric's mouth sores and dryness... has anyone mentioned drinking Aloe vera juice. It's amazingly good (especially cold), calms & soothes the mouth, it's loaded with vitamin C, and helps keep the lower intestinal system healthy. I get it at our local Chinese grocers... $3.50/1.5 ltr bottle... health food stores will cost you more.
    My thoughts and prayers are with you all...
