Lauren started puking yesterday afternoon. In addition, one kid and two adults who we were with on Friday night have had this. Based on timing, we are really trying to keep Jill from getting this so as not delay any testing or treatment this week. I would like to avoid it too, just as puking is no fun and I am trying to save my PTO as much as possible.
Jill slept in the basement last night so Lauren would have to come to me for assistance if she got up sick. She sort of puked around 10 and then made it through the night okay. Well, still woke up a few times for various reasons. But overall, not too bad a night for me. And Jill is still sleeping, which is great.
I am not going to lie, I am not quite ready to be primary for our kids at night and when they are sick, as will have to be the case when Jill is going through treatments. But you know what? No one in this house was ready for Jill to get breast cancer. My road ahead is easier than hers.
This post broke my heart more than any other to date. Greg, as a surviour myself, YOU HAVE NO IDEA how awesome your thoughts are~
ReplyDeleteYou are a caring spouse to shelter her or illness and to let her rest. Your honesty about {you}being ready was incredibly appreciated by myself. Not too metion she didnt ask for this, but she is taking it on, and going to win, because she WANTS to live! Thank you for being so good to her, and to your children. There are so many cancer patients that DONT have a team of family and friends to support them. Not to mention some have spouses that dont help because they are too selfish.
It does get tough, and IT SUCKS, but your both vowed, for richer, for poorer, and through sickness and health.
YOUR AWESOME Greg! Jill and the kiddos are blessed as you are as well!
Greg, I think it is great how you are handling all this and how you are there for your kids and Jill. She is very lucky to have you. I doubt that my husband would be doing something like this blog if it were me. I am praying for all of you often. I can't even imagine what this is like for Jill and you but your posts so far seems like you are both strong individuals who will make through this with the help of those who love you and with lots of prayers. My heart goes out to you all.
