Hi Heather,
I am an occasional reader of your blog and praise God that you are doing so well and can travel for Christmas. I have loved reading and seeing how God is working through you. For your lack of sleeping, how about hitting the local health food store and trying things like Valerian root, L-tryptophan, Melatonin, or even chamomile tea? I know that not everyone has success with them, but many do. Definitely be sure they don’t cause drug interactions with anything else you are taking. I’ll pray for your sleep and that you continue to heal and feel great. Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

For sleeping problems, I’ve been prescribed Trazadone before. It is a mild anti-depressant with an extreme sleepy side effect.

Woke up just after 3 am thinking of you, praying for you. Just wanted you to know that the Father continues to stir our hearts on your behalf. I hope you’re sound asleep…

Virginia is so beautiful in the winter with some snow and all the evergreens and mountains. What a blessing the trip will be. Praying for you and your family and your friend and your speech.

Hugs to you!

I’ve been out of touch on all the blogs lately, but I have been praying for you. I was catching up and how excited Easton must have been to see Hannah Montana! My son is 8, so we also watch it even though he’s not a girl. He also likes the Jonas Bros. And I think Miley Cyrus is a good role model. Finally, a teen on tv that is being raised in a strong Christian family. Good clean fun. Anyway, so glad Easton got to go and I’m sure it was amazing. good news on the go-ahead for the Christmas trip. Yay!

One thing to ask about, when I had morning sickness I was told to take 1/2 a OTC unisom. Might be worth looking into?

When I was having trouble sleeping from from brainstem malformation symptoms they also suggested Melatonin. The only thing is that you need to take it 20 min. before you plan on sleeping. So take it and be sure you are in bed with your eyes closed 20 min. later. Call your nurse and run it by here but it is very safe. If you find that you are cranky the next day take half the dose. I always ended up cutting mine in half. It is so neat, you feel this blanket of sleep just come over you and off you go…

I’m checking in with you and am so glad you’ll be able to go to Virginia. Keep up the good fight!

He will give the victory into thy hands, if only thou wilt fight manfully by His side, trusting not in thyself, but in His power and goodness. And if the Lord delay awhile to give thee the victory, be not disheartened, but believe assuredly (and this will also help thee to fight resolutely) that He will turn all things which may befall thee, those even which to thee may seem farthest removed from, yea, most adverse to thy success, all will He turn to thy good and profit, if thou wilt but bear thyself as a faithful and generous warrior.

What a great report Heather. I am so grateful for you, your platelets, getting the okay to travel, how good is all of this in one post? Prayers continue for you from here that things keep getting better and better. So glad you have the chemo dose that is doing it’s job without knocking your socks off. You are such a blessing to me and I always leave here so encouraged by you. God is so good all of the time.

Love you girl, Laurie in Ca.

There is a slow-release melatonin that I’ve found works really well for me. I don’t have to take as much because it slowly releases it over 3-4 hours (hence, the name). The website is http://www.kirkmanlabs.com and their melatonin is free of all kinds of dyes and allergins (gluten, casein, soy, etc).

Wow! I’m so glad you got all the answers to your questions.

I pray that you have a joyful holiday season in VA!

We’re a bit busy with a new baby in the house, but I’ve been thinking about you and wanted to stop by and say, “Hi!”

As always, you remain in my thoughts and prayers! Take care!
