Roller Coaster Ride

Life is absolutely crazy!! One minute we are up on a peak seeing great things happen with Odette and the rest of the kids and within seconds this has changed! While at the hospital this last time, we started out great--Odette's spinal tap went good and we were in the room awaiting the start of chemo--then it was puke city for the next few hours, days of puffiness and then fevers and more puking. I thought we weren't ever going to get any food to stay down. Then, after she puked this morning, the Doctors came into the room and said "you ready to go home?" Of course I was and within minutes we were at the best part of a rollercoaster! We were on our way home. The best feeling ever...like your stomach dropping going down a big hill. It is great and crazy to be home again. The older kids have to get use to the "mean" mom again since I have rules here and I need to get used to juggling time since I have four kids and not just one. There are mixed emotions for everyone, lots of crying, hugging, fighting...I just need to remember this to shall pass! Or, (heaven forbid) It can always get worse!

Oh, yeah, we are having hat trying on practice. Although Odette still has some hair, we know it won't be for long and winter is coming (I hope it will at least cool down sometime!). Hopefully she will leave them on for a while if she is use to them. Who am I kidding...my kids leave something on their head?!
