A day and a half left!!

After two steroid shots (one in each cheek), and my cbc blood check, I'm cleared for the c-section on Monday!
I'm so excited to take this next step, and meet our new little son. The name we've chosen for him is: Tolan Paul Sharp. Tolan is a unique name that we've never heard before, and love it. Paul is my dad's name and we love him!

Mom arrived late Thursday night, and has been helping us out so much already. Alana is having a tough time this month. First with the sickness, then the ear infections, then the sprained wrist, and today we brought her in for a check because she's running a fever again, and is very lethargic. They checked her for strep, which is going around, and thank goodness it's not that. She just has a virus. So Mom is on 'Alana duty' this weekend, as I'm trying to avoid getting sick!

Criag and I are scheduled to arrive at Germantown Methodist Hospital at 7:30am Monday morning, and have the c-section at 9:30. I don't know how long I'll need to stay; I guess they'll just monitor us and see how it goes. Then I go in for my next chemo treatment on June 5th. That should give me a good break to heal and then get going again fighting the cancer!

Yeah! Only one day to go. I know you guys are way excited.
Wow Michelle is getting married in a month that is really quick and really exciting.
Sorry to hear about Alana's sprained wrist. Amber's little girl Katelyn feel last week and broke her leg. It's so sad she can't walk and just lays on the floor and plays.
Good luck on Monday!!!!

Hooray, Cheri. Today's the day. I hope that your delivery goes well. It will be so much fun to meet your little Tolan. I hope that Alana can feel better soon and relieve a bit of stress for you and your mom as well. When Miranda was born, Jeffrey had mono, and he caught everything! Every time she had a check-up, he went too, so I know how stressful that can be. Luckily your mom can help you so Alana can stay away from you and Tolan--good luck. We love you and will pray for you today!!
Love,
Jaylyn
