First day of radiation

Tues. July 23, 2013
Today we took Kera in to LDS Hospital for her first treatment of the radiation.  Everything went well.  The procedure itself only took about 15 minutes.  She said she was a little nervous about it, but I think the fact that she didn't have to be in there that long helped.  Her stomach usually hurts while she is traveling in the car, so that was the main problem.  She took a short nap when she got home, but she's awake now and seems to be okay.  She told me that it's hard for her not to think about her sickness.  I know it's hard to feel normal when you're going to the hospital everyday and you just aren't feeling like yourself.  I wish I could keep her from worrying, but I just keep trying to reassure her that this medicine and treatments will help and she will feel better soon.
We will be going in for treatments every day this week, including tomorrow, pioneer day, and Saturday.  Next week we will go Monday and Tuesday, then we leave for our family reunion Wednesday.  I'm hoping by then she will have some more energy built up and she can enjoy herself during the vacation. :)
