March 23, 2011

    I guess the Panhandler Pies Event went very well.  And Thank-you Girls.  You are all adorable.  Sarah Hess sent us a photo of Joanna in her tee shirt.  Today I will make a concentrated effort to figure out how to put photos on here because there are some good ones. 
    Sara feels pretty good today and we might try to take her out for some fresh air as it is supposed to be 57 degrees. Keeping a close watch on her med schedule and maintaining so tomorrow we will not have any setbacks. I hope you all can appreciate what an effort it is to keep Sara from running down to Seattle Nordstroms in a wheel chair. She is keeping her weight at a steady level.  Temperature; normal to a little high. But she is wrapped up in her super warm, cozy shabby chic blankets Ruby, Annabelle and Baby Sara got her.  We decided to forget eating for now, but she has a thing for cherry cokes. She can only have 10 cc's of anything at a time. Okay.  Will probably not post in the morning because we will be off to the Doctor. So wish us luck.  Hell, wish us everything.  Love to all.

  3. Dear Sara,

    So glad things are progressing for you. And tomorrow will be a big day in your journey. Each person reacts to chemo differently. And each person's treatment is not the same. So it's always uncertain how it will effect you. It's very ironic that they are giving you something that often makes you feel worse so you can feel better but that's how it works - it's CRAZY!
    A few thoughts for you: Reach down very deep to gather all your strength and courage. You have a lot of it. But you know what? You have ever MORE than you think. Often the idea of the "dreaded" is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Whatever happens, always be looking ahead to the future and that will get you through anything. I mustered up the power to get through 18 weeks of it and you will too. I know you are going to do fine. Sending all the sunshine here your way and wishing you the best and thinking of you always.
