My Last Chemo

Just a quick entry to let you all know that I had my last scheduled Chemo on Wednesday! Yay! I am felling so-so, trying to make myself eat even if I don't want to so that I am not hungry and nauseated at the same time. it is a relief to be done and hopefully I really am done and only have radiation left.

We just finished a nice visit with my folks and also my sister and her family. We did not do very much- no sightseeing or anything, weather was a bit too hot but we watched a lot of Olympics and enjoyed some good meals and each other's company. My sister and her husband bravely escorted our 4 older kids and my nephew to the Schlitterbahn Waterpark for a day. They all seemed to have a blast, even though it rained part of the day.

My dad kept busy doing a few home improvement projects for us- pressure washed our deck, installed a screen door and a new dimmer switch. My mom stayed busy cooking and doing my dishes- hooray for that! :) Thank you guys!

I also wanted to give a quick thanks to all of our friends and acquaintances, and some kind strangers even- who have sent us gifts, gift cards, care packages, email, phone calls and cards recently. It has been such a boost to help us get through this stressful summer. We so appreciate it! I am slowly working on some thank you cards...bear with me- I don't think I've sent out any change of address cards yet and we moved in May...sigh. I'll get there. If you haven't heard from me personally yet, give me some time and I'll get back to you. School starts in 9 days so perhaps then I can get more on a routine and knock out my very LONG To-Do list!

We are hanging in there. thanks so much for keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers- I can't begin to tell you how much it means to all of us!
