Today is the first day of school here in the George house…. Aren’t they precious 
Now for an update on me. I woke up horribly nauseous, but took Zofran immediately and felt better (I took 2 last night, before Chemo). Over the last month my body has gotten use to eating when ever it is hungry , so it is not use to NOT being able to eat after a certain time. I woke up in the middle of the night starving, but afraid to eat. I have to eat by 6, and take Zofran by 9, then Chemo at 9:30. I think I need to eat small meals through out the day instead of three big meals.
I’m off to take the kids to school Normal life stuff!

Easton looks a bit tired! LOL
I hope they have a great day at “school”– I’ll see you tonight!
Praying that you all have a fabulous day! Welcome the “normal”!
Look at those smiling faces!
Have a Great Day!
Love you sis.
They are TOO precious! Hoping for a good day for you too.

I love first day of school pictures!! Your kids are lovely!
Whenever you mention Zofran, I shudder just a bit. I had hyperemesis with two of my three pregnancies and was lucky enough the second time around to have a doctor prescribe Zofran (and an insurance company that would cover the cost). Even though Zofran was my best friend back then, I can’t help but think of how sick I was. But it does work wonders, eh? Helps you get through each day.
Your older daughter looks so much like you!!!
Sorry you aren’t feeling well!
They are precious!
Wow! Your kids all resemble you, but especially your oldest daughter!
I pray you will not have too much nausea today!

Hope you all have a wonderful day! ((hugs))
They are adorable photos. Feel better Heather and have a great first day!
Could your older girl look MORE like you?? LOL Wow – a mini-me! Hope you enjoy your “normal things” during the day and that you are feeling better!
I love Emma’s bright and cheerful face! My son Caleb is autistic too but he’s not a morning person. He comes down with a HUGE sign of dread on his face as if to say “Oh, yeah, another day” …LOL.. But he chirps up to Emma’s look in about an hour. Keep on, keeping on!
They are all precious and so very blessed to have you as their Momma!
I pray they and you have a very blessed and productive school year!!!
I think the small meals throughout the day sounds like an excellent idea, try to eat every 3 hours or so and eat lots of protein if you can!
Hugs & Blessings,
Tiany
They All look like you!!!
So cute!
Wayyy too cute and they look so much like you!
They are so cute! Your older daughter looks exactly like you!
What great pictures, they’re just so cute!!!
Hope they have a great first day!
God bless
Normal life stuff… it is amazing how something like cancer can make normal seem so wonderful. Enjoy!
Where has the year gone, another school year already. “Normal” things are what you need, they are the things that you look forward to so you don’t think about what you are going through. When I was in treatment, my youngest daughter was in high school and it was a joy to think and hear about her day because it helped me get through mine. Enjoy your childrens days, they go way to fast.
And apple to all of you,
Hugs,
Norma
WOW! Do those kids ever look like you! It’s the eyes…wow.
I’m glad the zofran helped. I continue to pray for you that you’ll get through this thing.
They are SO CUTE!
And yes, regular life stuff = good.

What an EXCITING day????? Except for your sickness…of course! Yuck! I can’t get over how much Easton looks like you! She’s like “mini-me”!
Your children are beautiful! Just like their Momma. Hope they have a great first day of school.
awwwwwww cute……they all have the same beautiful eyes and smile as you
They are so adorable! Emma looks so happy, what a beautiful family you have! Thanks for sharing!
Praying you feel completely NAUSEOUS free today!
Wow, look how much your kids look like you!! And they’re sooo cute!
I’m praying for your nausea to go away.
Hi Heather,
I find eating small frequent meals instead of three heavy meals a much better way to go. You know what I also found helped, nibbling on Ginger Biscuits and sipping Ginger Beer. I also gave those pressure braclets a go, and must say I did so very sceptically but hey they worked. You wear one on each wrist and position the pressure studs where they explain to and they really did work. Also avoiding anything fatty is a great help too. Wrote you an e-mail the other day but I know and realise you are one busy lady, what with your treatments and being a Mum and Wife.
I am now back from my trip around Australia and am going to attempt to write a couple of Weblogs, one being a summary with pics the other being a bit more detailed for those interested. I’ll let you know when I get one of them done so you can have a look. If you have any ideas for me on ho w to go about this I’d really appreciate them.
Take Care and Love to you All.

You have beautiful children!
when I first glanced at that photo I thought “Wow! Her hair grew back quick!” I have never seen a child look so much like her mom!
‘”"Beautiful smiling faces!!! Your children are absolutely precious!!!! What excitement expressed iin their faces.
Zofran is definitely the med that helps! I always keep peppermint by my bedside too – it helps with the tummy. When you can’t eat and need liquid, suck on a popcycle….I know the sugar content and all, but it at least helps in getting moisture in the ole body.
You are in my prayers.
They are sooooooooooo cute! (& they look like you!!)
I hope you get an eating pattern in place, so you’ll feel better. Praying for you, dear!

Well, everyone else already said what I was going to say… your kids all look so much like you, and they’re all just beautiful! I wish I was as happy to be awake in the mornings as Emma looks! Happy first day of school! I still have another week before sending my oldest to first grade. I don’t know what his siblings are going to do without him all day… he’s my little peacemaker.
Everybody looks beautiful. Easton is you all over and stunning just like her mama.
Praying for you to find a schedule that works with the eating and the meds. One step at a time.
Hope everyone has a good first day.
What a beautiful family! Your children look so much like you!
I’m glad the zofran is working. I’m not sure the first anit-nausea that was given to Steven after the first surgery, but it did nothing. Thank goodness for Zofran. It works wonders and keeps the nausea to a managable level.
Zofran forever!
School…homework…cooking and laundry…it’s the normal everyday things that feel good! Glad it’s coming back.
You’re kids are beautiful. I’m glad you are doing o.k. and that you are doing the normal things in life.

Glad you have those three sweet children to enjoy and do the “life stuff” with. They are precious. Praying for you to feel better.

You go girl!!! Cherish the day and the memories. Hugs, Tanya
The pictures are a great reminder that there’s more to Heather than cancer. Continued prayers for you and your beautiful family.
Your kids are adorable! They all look just like you too! Neat!
Praying for you – and thank God for Zofran, eh?
Your kids are adorable!
All the best.
Your children are just darling, and I think they look like you too. I hope you will feel better.
Adorable pics! And I’m delighted to hear you’re on Zofran…it’s was the only effective drug for my son during his chemo. He, too, had to adjust his meal pattern. More, smaller meals helped a lot.
Prayers continue.
awww! what cute kids you have!
i used to have your last name!
wonder if we’re related? (it’s not likely, i guess, but i wonder all the same
this is the first time i’ve commented here, but i’ve been here a few times before. your faith and strength is such a blessing!
peace—

Hi Heather,
Oh my, your children are precious and your oldest daughter looks EXACTLY like you! I’m sure you hear this all the time.
Still praying for you, gleaning from all you share and giving thanks for your healing!
“The rains came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall because it had its foundation on the rock” (Matthew 7:25).
Keep holding on to the ROCK!
Susan
Such sweet hearts!
Your son has your nose, bu your eldest has your smile!
Because of Jesus, bobbie
Wow…..you and Easton look exactly alike….cute kids!!!!
