Today has been okay so far, except for the fact that I didn't sleep at all last night. And I don't mean I woke up a few times during the night, I mean I could not calm down my head to sleep AT ALL! It was terrible. And Brinley started waking up at about 4, so our night was shot. (David actually had the same problem, so we got up looking like zombies!) So we've been lying around pretty much all day (Brinley and I). Thankfully, my Aunt Marilee came over yesterday and helped with cleaning and made us dinner last night (it was yummy!, thanks Aunt Marilee!) So the house isn't a TOTAL disaster (of course we do know how to mess things up quick).

Brinley has been hurting today. When she woke up at 4 or so, she was just screaming "ow! ow!" So David gave her some oxycodone and she finally went back to bed and slept. Then when she woke up again she did the same thing, she was crying hard and wouldn't tell me what hurt, she was just kicking and saying ow. I kind of feel like this third day after the chemo is when her jaw pain comes, and a couple times today she was holding her cheeks, but I can't tell if something else is hurting her.

I finally got some good news, my sweet hubby is going to come home early so I can take a nap and we can have a little family movie night tonight and make some caramel apples. (poor Taylor and Jade have been quite neglected lately) He doesn't want me falling asleep in the middle of the show. That was the best news I've heard all day! What a man!
