grumpycat I'm not a big oils person but I swear by peppermint. Peppermint tea should help too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I asked dh to pick some up. What's the thing in tea preggos aren't supposed to have? Is it hibiscus?

Bad news/vent PDQ
The oncologist confirmed what I suspected. The standard chemo treatment did nothing. It grew. There isn't a definite plan forward but there are different chemos they have had success with. They are much stronger and could leave him at high risk for not being able to fight off common infections. It is scary. I read the study on one of the treatments this weekend and one kid died on treatment from chicken pox. They are consulting with an expert to determine what the best option for him is. We may have to travel to this expert every few months. They have only treated three other kids where we get treatment with one of the chemos. His liver got worse. They are concerned about his liver handling treatment. An MRI of his liver was recommended by the radiologist but they don't want to sedate him right now. They said there is a potential that he may need a liver transplant at some point. He is losing weight and not eating well. His oncologist said she is worried about him.
I just want my baby to feel better. He has the most adorable smile that lights up my world.

I'm so sorry you. I hope you and the doctors can find a treatment that works. It is so hard to see our kids suffer.

grumpycat your comment got me thinking- I checked the ingredients on some balm I was given for sore muscles and both Eucalyptus and Clove oils are a no go according to Dr. Google. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well this little girl just gave me some kicks, pretty sure they were kicks as it was a big movement like poking out, a couple times. Feel like it made my belly ripple from the hardness of if, then felt some somersaults.
Made me feel better, and the kick was also on the left side of which apparently my placenta is covering. I will deffo be asking on my 20 week scan where the placenta is

I sneezed and peed my pants. At work. So that's awesome. 🤦🏼♀️
I have my biggest work event of the year next week. I am not ready and have SO much to do yet. I'm trying to avoid working this weekend but I am not sure I'll have that option.

I am having a really weird day full of thoughts and feelings. I usually talk to MH about this kind of stuff but he's not home for essentially the next two weeks because of his musical (pray for me, solo parenting + report cards might kill me). My hormones are out of control.
