Why the title for this blog?

I struggle with staying positive in the sight of adversity. It is very easy for me to dwell on the negative aspects of my situation and miss the blessings that come from the trial and so I will use this blog to help me stay focused on the rainbows of my life.

Hard Week

I haven't been feeling well this week. Wednesday morning I ended up taking an ambulance ride to the hospital. Between bouts of nausea and losing the contents I ran low on O2. My world wouldn't stop spinning. I figured that if I might pass out it would be best to be as close to the floor as possible so I said a prayer and slid off the toilet. At the same time a knock came at the front door. It was the Fed Ex man making a delivery to the house. I yelled for his help and he was gracious enough to call 911 while I crawled to the recliner with my eyes shut. I called Brian and told him where I was going and he took off work and came home. Yesterday, he took some paid time off as I still wasn't feeling good and I had started to run a fever. After more tests it was determined that I was very dehydrated and so I spent two hours in the chemo chair being given fluids. With the help of more drugs, I am fighting these side effects and hope to be better by tomorrow.

I have not felt good enough to answer e-mails so if you have recently sent me one please don't get miffed at me for not replying right away. I will get it done soon, I hope!
