Checking In....

Hello everyone!

I had round three of chemo yesterday, thank you to my friend Jen who volunteered to take me yesterday and again next week.  I am happy to have so much support.  So far, so good with side effects.  The meds I am on seem to be controlling the nausea pretty well.  I have another heart scan this morning to make sure that everything is ok with my heart after a few treatments.  So far, my hair has hung in as well.  They say 1-3 weeks after starting chemo you will lose your hair, so I am guessing it will be this week.  We'll see.  I am ready with some scarves and my friend Lori is making me some great soft hats as my head is so small (think children's department) I am having trouble finding hats. 

Wondering where some updates of the kids are? Me too!  James left Sat with Mama Lynn and Papa Ned to go to Lakeside Resorts in Michigan to meet up with everyone for a week of swimming, canoeing and playing with his cousins.  Jay got to see him on Tuesday night as he had to go to Indiana for work and it wasn't too far from Lakeside so he drove on and stopped to say hi to everyone.  Katie left on Wednesday afternoon with Uncle Greg and Uncle Marc to meet up with everyone else as well.  They will be coming home on Sat afternoon and while we miss them, we are so thankful for the family that we have to be so generous as to take our kids on vacation with them so they didn't have to miss out on the fun.
