Treatment #6 Update

Shari had her 6th Treatment on Friday February 20th.

The treatment itself was actually a relatively easier day in that the appointment was quicker then normal. Shari was home in record time that afternoon. However, by the time she did arrive home, the pain in her legs had already started. They massaged her legs that evening and the neuropathy and the pain went away. When she woke up Saturday morning, she was not feeling good at all. Shari had a terrible headache, pain in her legs, and exhaustion. Shari was going to be alone with Daria because Tom had to go to work. Max was arriving in the late afternoon, and Shari figured it would just be a low key day and she and Daria would both just hang out until Max arrived. But, that could not be the case. Daria wanted to be out and about and Shari was not feeling well enough to care for her. Tom called a friend to take Daria to lunch and out for awhile because Aunt Max was not arriving until later that afternoon. They had a great time and Shari had time to pull myself together. Max arrived and Daria came back home and everything was fine with the world.

This afternoon while she was resting, Shari got the phone call that her grandmother had passed away. We'll share more about this in a separate post, but the beautiful part about that was that within a 1/2 hour of receiving that call, all of Shari's pain went away and her headache subsided. Shari's Grandma was in peace and she was sharing her peacefulness with Shari!

During this recovery period, Shari's pain has been different this time. It has been concentrated more in her neck, back and shoulder area then in her legs. There has been some discomfort in the legs but not like previous treatments. Her head is much clearer and she feels much more present then ever before. She is tired and she needs to rest but overall she is doing well.

Shari's next treatment will be on Friday, March 13th (7th Round). She will then have a follow up CT Scan (sometime during the month of March) and the 8th Round of treatment is scheduled for April 7th. Shari will know more about the future gameplan after that April 7th appointment.

As always, please keep Shari in your thoughts and prayers and please keep seeing her as the "Miracle" that she is going to be!
