Well, we have had a great friday and saturday already!!!! The pic above is of Scott at a downtown hotel that a friend got for us for the night! It was awesome...we ordered food in and slept! The dogs stayed at their fav daycare and even had baths in the morning. I tell ya...it was like christmas! Only bad news...I woke up with a sinus infection. I won't tell you what color my snot was because I'm sure you can imagine. Dr. Mellott put me on Z-pak right away. I have been back on my shots (neupogen) for the white cells, to hopefully keep them up for my chemo on friday! The bone pain is a little more intense this time. Yuck! Vicodin works though. My blood test was okay last week... we will see what it is for chemo! I also got to see Lindsay S. and Avery on Friday. I totally forgot to take a pic in my excitement over the cheesecake we had for dessert! Avery is the cutest, you'll have to take my word for it. Enjoy the weather...love you all!

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me.
---Emily Dickinson
Thank you Barb, Gina, and Pat for reminding me...Love you all.

Hey guys...Well as you can see my white blood cells rallied! Thank goodness. The first pic is of my chemo nurse and friend Angela giving me Adriamycin, the first of four chemos total. Its red...oooohhh! The second picture is of me when Benedryl and etc kick in. I know I look drugged. Jill certainly thought I was a little funny...I guess I started to slur at one point. I'm feeling okay now. Just a little sick to my tummy. Talk to ya kids later. I gotta lay down.

Hey everyone...Happy Sunday. I couldn't go to church obviously. I think God forgives you if the doctor says you can't go! That's my friend Jen...everyone is trying to make sure I don't go crazy with boredom and loneliness. We are making funfetti halloween cupcakes. They are the coolest! I have had a huge sweet tooth lately. So, cupcakes rock!! Keep your fingers crossed for tomorrow! Go white blood cells, go!!!!
