we had an awesome walk this morning- i had so many friends around me that i couldn't keep up with everyone. it was insane! i was very humbled by everyone coming out to walk for me... and overwhelmed. team bon jovi raised over $4,600 and i collected almost half of it. i cannot get over how generous everyone has been. some of the largest donations came from people that don't even know me. i really hope to be able to pay it forward some day- both in money and in spirit. it is my goal to remember how wonderful it is to feel so loved, and make someone else feel this way every day :)
it was a beautiful day today- windy, but sunny and springlike. yay! i managed to do the 2.5 mile version of the walk- i felt like i could do more, but thought after last weekend i had better behave. plus i was really hoping that if i did the shorter walk i'd be able to go bowling tonight. that didn't happen- i'm too tired, and i think i have a cold coming on. i decided it would be smarter to stay home and out of all the smoke and extra germs. i'm really bummed about my body not following what my mind/heart wants to do. it's very frustrating...
izzy is still fighting a cold and her fever is back, but the doctor said it's nothing that we need to worry too much about. keep an eye on her and give her tylenol... i feel so bad for her- every time she tries to sleep the coughing takes over. she's very cuddly in the middle of the night, but since she's a little germ factory right now i cuddle back with a bit of fear. i really don't want to end up having to push my chemo back again this week. but how can i turn my baby down when she wants a nuzzle? she wraps her little bitty arm around my neck and buries her face in my neck, and i almost forget about her snot and drool... and of course symma will be next and the cycle will start over. and then there's swine flu. they're talking about closing our whole district! crazy. but a few days off would be nice :)
again, thank you so much for all of your support and generosity with the big walk. i can't wait to do the whole 5 miles next year- with curly hair and a new chest :)
