The Sheering - July 29th
Here we go!!!
There's no turning back now!!!
Jen steps in to show off her mad skills with the clippers. Claiming that her years abroad have given her a better grasp on cool hair styles.
Good Morning Angels!
Good Morning Charlie
Practicing for the next guitar hero night at Jen and Daniel's house. I'm so gonna win with this new do...it's all about becoming the character!
I think Daniel is a little shocked to see me! Like I said this posting is not for the faint of heart.
Well, I got talked into leaving the small mohawk for a couple of days for shock value. But here's the rest of it. I made it through the night that I've been dreading for weeks. Unsure if I'd be able to handle shaving my head. But I'm proud to announce not one tear was shed...not even by mom and we laughed our heads off all evening long. And I've been told there's no better medicine than laughter. I'll concure with that...I've been very sick all day and the drugs haven't been denting it this time but as soon as we got into shaving my head and had fun with it the nausea became bareable for the first time today. This was definitely a once in a life time experience and we did it up good.
...I guess I'd better call and cancel my hair appointment for Saturday (it was scheduled before diagnosis)...I don't think I'll be needing it!

Looks like Grandpa joined Aunt Kathryn and the kids at the park! Jadon still looks a little out of it but I think he's on the mend.
Chemo Begins - Monday July 14th
Monday July 7th
Jadon loved swinging with Mommy and couldn't stop giggling with delight.
Christlyn, my resident monkey, was all over the place climbing anything and everything she could. Ethan just wanted to take pictures with my camera...so thats why there are no pictures of him...and also why I just had to delete about 200 pictures from my memory card...lol. After a while of playing with each other some of Christlyn's classmates came to the park and they all got to play together.
The next morning I headed in for surgery to get a port put in my chest. The procdure went well even though I was awake the whole time...don't worry I was heavily drugged and don't remember too much of it. But the recovery from it has been more difficult than I'd anticipated. I can hardly move my neck or left shoulder/arm. This makes it very difficult to be a mommy (especially of a 1 year old who still needs to be carried quite often). To top things off Jadon has been throwing up for about 2 days now...please remember to pray for him. I didn't get to start chemo this week, there were some scheduling mishaps that prevented me from seeing the oncologist until this morning. But I truly believe it was just another way God is looking out for me...I've been in so much pain from the port I don't think I could have handled Chemo too. But I will be starting Chemo on Mon. morning at 10:00am. I'll be on a 2 week schedule and will do between 6 and 8 rounds. So if everything goes as planned I will be done with Chemo on either Sept. 22 or Oct. 20!!! Please keep us in your prayers!
