Kermit Juice

Kermit Juice {no frogs were harmed in making this juice}
    So, we have not been on here for a few days because we have all been concerned with Sara care.
The chemo is keeping her pretty much in bed.  She has not be able to go to work or do much of anything.  Being sick is part of it, but mostly it is exhaustion. By the time she starts to feel better, it is time to go back.  As far as appetite, well you are lookin' at her 'T-bone' juice right there.  She tried to eat regularly but her system made it very clear last night till one in the morning that she better watch what she eats.
      Whether this means the chemo is working or not can only be determined by the tests when she goes back to Seattle. This Thursday, she will go back over for another treatment, then have a week off.
    It turns out that will be the week of her hoedown, November 3, so she will not be sick for that.  She is planning a big speech, which I am not helping her with.  So it probably won't be very funny.  {just kidding}.
    I have been staying at the purple house and making sure she drinks her juice and eats her blended soup. People come and go all day long and keep her distracted. {"Look at that bird!!!!"} Everyone has been so helpful and wonderful and supportive.  Lauren gives her acupuncture every other day which has helped a lot.
     The hoedown is going to be a super event as there is so much going on and is growing bigger everyday. Git out cher cowboy hat.   
     We can't wait to hear what Dr. Lin has to say about how the treatment is going. Remember, this is not just about Sara, this treatment is going down in the textbooks.
    So the recipe for this Kermit Juice is Shanna's and you will have to ask her. I can guarantee it is not an old family secret.
    Thanks everyone.
