waiting for whats next

I am starting to think that waiting is far more exhausting then doing. Anyone else ever feel that way?

I am basing this on the fact that I feel far more exhausted then I have for... (OK - not forever - which is what I was going to put) but for a long time.
  • Wrung out
  • drained
  • stretched thin
  • empty
  • bushed
  • depleted
  • fatigued
  • sleepy
  • tuckered
  • weary
  • pooped
It must take a lot of energy to do nothing. (OK - again trying to stay truthful - not nothing. But, also, not a whole lot of something.)

I think the exhaustion is magnified by uncertainty. Jake's chemo has been delayed due to low numbers at his visit last Wednesday. It is kinda funny to have the blood work and numbers before the symptoms, but the soar throat, cough and massive amount of snot soon backed up the numbers. Joshua decided to join in making it a family adventure.


Sunday evening Jacob spiked a fever sending us to the ER for blood work and cultures and a chest film. Following IV antibiotics we were back home to the waiting game. Jacob is starting to feel better and we will check in with Dr Odom to find out when we can be back on track. We will try and keep you posted
