FitOKay's Journal, 27 August 2014

Today was a looonnngggg day! I had a lot of trouble breathing last night so didn't get much sleep then had to be up early this morning. I think it from this burst of heat, plus corn harvesting going on (allergic to corn). My lungs have been trying to lock down tight. I didn't eat much today but think I got plenty of calories. I iced the pumpkin bars from yesterday and baked up 18 mini pumpkin bread loafs with the extra pumpkin pie mix (I made a bit too much, lol). I had my nephew this morning as well as my boys and between three pumpkin loving little boys and my husband stopping in for lunch 8 of those mini loafs disappeared ;-) I'm sure I picked up plenty of calories from taste testing batter and icing =p Just goingbto freeze up the remaining loaves for special breakfast treats here and there (I generally have a variety of premade gluten free treats like cupcakes and cookie bars in the freezer to take with us so the boys don't miss out on yumminess at birthday parties and other get togethers).

My sister had an appt to check on her bundle of joy to come so I had her son for the morning. The boys had a ton of fun together. My sister and brother's wife are both right around 3 months pregnant (only a week apart from each other's due dates). We found out my brother is expecting a little boy. His wife had ovarian cancer and because of the chemo possibly affecting genetic material they did genetic testing and they have a perfectly normal xy baby =) Very glad to hear! We won't know boy or girl on my sister for a bit still.

I've been doing a lot of treatments plus had to bump up my steriods back to the max dose again and think all the sweet taste testing combined with increased steroids started some thrush. Woke up with my tongue hurting this morning and that tell tale coated feeling that seems to seep right back no matter how well you brush. I was so tired that it didn't really compute as thrush til this afternoon... after more sweet baking and tastectesting. Been drinking diet soda (the acid in it can sometimes get rid of thrush if you catch it early enough, has to be sugar free though for obvious reasons). Not sure if that's gonna work this time or if I need to give my Doctor a call tomorrow morning. We'll see.

Hope everyone else had a great hump day!!!
