Chemo break

Although Olivia is on a chemo break for 2 weeks, all the medicine she's been taking is starting to take a toll on her. Olivia has not been playful and active for the past couple days. She has been complaining of stomach pains (chemo side effect), gets irritated so quickly probably because she gets tired so fast too. She has been sleeping a lot this week, which is good. Usually when she's irritated, she would take short naps during the day and that would make her feel a bit better. Today she was just so tired that she slept early and was not able to eat dinner. She probably had 3 naps all day and yet it was not enough. I would like her to eat something but sleep is better for now.

I feel helpless when I see her in pain. She would always just tell me to stay with her. I would hug her for a long time hoping it will make her feel better. The next phase of chemo (Delayed Intensification), which is the worst part as I was told, has not even started yet. I hope and pray Olivia keeps the strong fighting spirit. I continue to pray for our family's strength too. This is when she would really need us the most.
