Argh............Throw up time today! This morning she wanted pancakes at 6:45. The Steroids makes your appetite increase and the steroids can make you crave salt (That was evident last weekend when she ate lots of salty chips) After, she yelled from the hallway, "Mom I threw up". Not want I wanted to hear, while Pregnant someone throws up then I usually do too. I went back to work today, which is so hard to be away while she's not doing good. I feel like I have to go back to save my sick time for when I have my baby. I'm due in 3 1/2 months. She had leg pains this morning, in the afternoon her stomach hurt for several hours. I now understand while they give her strong medicine that usually works and tonight while laying on the couch she throw up twice all over the couch, her clothes, blankets and the rug on the carpet. If there is a luckily, then luckily it got mostly on the rug & couch cushion and not the carpet. Doing lots of wash. And now back to the leg pains, which is part of the Leukemia!
When I was Preg-o with Kelsi, Avery was 2-1/2 yrs old. She was so cute when I was always throwing up. She would come in the bathroom and pull back my hair and tell me, "Mom I'll go get you some water, I'll take care of you". She still likes to hear this story! It was so cute! So I told her tonight, "I'll take care of you, like you use to take care of me when I threw up." Poor thing. Her legs are hurting her so bad. Come on medicine, it's time to kick in. Got to go! ARGH!

This is breaking my heart. I hate to see her in so much pain and I so miss the spark in her step and the twinkle in her eyes. I know this next 2 1/2 years is going to be a heart breakers as it is so hard to see her in so much pain and especially knowing that a 5 year old doesn't understand any of this. Wish she would throw up when I'm there so I could help clean up and you wouldn't have to get sick too. I don't miss all that preg-o sickness, carring you twins (kelly and Amber) was the worse! I came right home tonight and said another pray for this sweet sick girl!!! love mom/grandma
What a little sweetheart! Can't imagine all you are going through...please let us know of anything that we can help with! You are all in our prayers!
Amber~ Josh and I have been following your blog since we heard the news on Easter Saturday! We are so sorry, but you are strong people and so are your families! We are praying for you, we know things will work out! Avery is ONE TOUGH COOKIE! :)
Oh Amber...you have had such a horrible few weeks. Your little Avery is being so brave though. And so are YOU! Throw-up is the worst. I hope the medicine kicks in soon. Keep hanging in there!
I stopped by yesterday to take your Mom a can of soup and it about broke my heart seeing little Avery lying there in pain. It was so sweet to see Johnny come home from work and and go right to her side. Just having him there helped. You guys are such wonderful parents. Just keep doing what your doing and stay strong. Remember to call if you need ANYTHING. Sharron
