Lorelei's Journey

  • No more RAY-DEE-A-SHUN!

    Lorelei completed radiation (IMRT) today! In other news, her mother is officially the weirdest person in the world. I sang Alan Harper's "No more alimony" song (replacing alimony with radiation) all the way to Ulta where we celebrated the milestone by buying some new make up.

  • Completing radiation with pneumonitis

    Lorelei feels better today than she did yesterday but is still running a fever and coughing. We don't yet have the results of the blood cultures taken last night at the ER, but Dr. Confer thinks they will be clear.

  • Mysterious Fever

    Lorelei awoke yesterday feeling lousy. It's hard to imagine how badly she must feel for her to admit it. Her fever spiked last night so we called her doctor.

  • A very sick energizer bunny

    Sitting in my car listening to (and feeling) the Thunder crash and the rain pound while Lorelei does radiation early today. She'll call me when she's done and I'll be able to drive up and get her under the canopy to keep her dry as I pick her up. She's truly doing all the hard work of this on her own.

  • Potato soup and an answered prayer

    May 30, 2013 12:42 PM (posted to CaringBridge by Lorelei) Have you ever had God answer your prayer and experienced the fruit of a God that is ever present in our daily lives? I have. Just did.

  • Burnt out... Literally

    Today is my tenth treatment of radiation.. I think. My doctor told me that the sore throat (from being burnt by radiation) would start around treatment ten.

  • This season's not over

    Lorelei had a hard time holding back the tears last night as her eyes met KD's during the Thunder's post game press conference. It was a pretty emotional moment. This NBA season is over for her beloved Thunder but the encouragement this team has provided Lorelei will carry her forward; Lorelei's "season" is still in full swing.

  • IMRT instead of proton therapy

    Okay, proton therapy is off the table. But that's okay. (Sorry for my "freak out" earlier.
