Everyone keeps asking me how I'm doing, and I honestly have to say it depends on the day. In fact, it depends on the minute :) Things are hard, but they are good, too. With our weekly chemo trips (to either Salt Lake or St. George), we really try to make the most of it. That's why our lives are a roller-coaster right now. The highs are really high, and the lows are really low. Here are some pictures to show what I mean.
On a Salt Lake trip, we got tickets to the Festival of Trees. It was a first-time experience for me and the kids. It was really meaningful to us this year, and I'm thankful we got to go.
We then went to Temple Square w/ Josh (Jeep's brother) and his family. It was cold but good. Plus, Tay seemed fine the whole time after her treatment, which was a blessing.
Then, the kids got to see Santa last week at our ward party. They were so excited!
Then, the week got more difficult. After the ward party, I noticed Tay was losing a lot of hair. I had a harder time with it than she did for sure (I think I'm over-emotional lately or something). She just wanted to make sure it would come back brown, not gray, like Grandma Nedra's had.
So, a couple nights later, the guys in our family let Tay shave their heads with the clippers before it became her turn. (She was shedding ALL over the place). She wasn't thrilled with the clippers, but she's a trooper. She loves her new hats and seems fine. The good news is that she's tolerating the chemo well, and it must be working because all the side effects show it is.
We just try to keep positive - some days harder than others :)
