We're back for H/T number 2 today. Nothing much to report; Becca is still not feeling sick but is often tired during the day even with long sleeps at night. Not tired enough to be in bed all day, though, which in some ways is more frustrating, because if you're not in bed you feel like you should be doing stuff but then when you do stuff you get tired. It's definitely not a binary existence like with the last drugs.
On the home front, Rachel has moved from the helpful/obliging column to the more predictable frustrated/whiny column. After pickup yesterday Mommy and Rachel had a real knock-down drag-out about taking the bus home today. It was ugly. It ended with Rachel sarcastically (oh yes, she can do sarcasm...) telling Becca "oh sure this is all about you isn't it?!" Then Becca, buttons expertly pressed, let her have it. I AM SICK! (you fill in the rest)
Well then. Herein lies the problem with keeping the kids' lives as normal as possible. So what if Mommy has no hair? She is still here taking care of me, so she needs to go the whole nine yards. Talk about your binary states.
Becca is just dealing with these treatments too well I think. People who see her on a daily basis can attest to this. Since she doesn't have a big CANCER sign tatooed across her forehead, it is up to the rest of us to keep that in mind, and this lies beyond the emotional capacity of an 8-year-old.
