Life is good!

So great to have round three of chemo behind me! I felt lucky to have my sister Lori spend the day with me. During chemo, my doctor came in to see me. He shared with me that my latest bloodwork was very positive. Everyone at chemo agreed what a great birthday present this news was. That day, Lori and I had chinese food for lunch, and my fortune cookie said: Your biggest dream will come true. That little fortune message now has ahome in my wallet so I can look to it whenever I need.

For my birthday, our family had supper together, and also had many visitors. Thanks to you all for making me feel spoiled! My siblings showed up later in the night on Friday, and couldnt beleive I hadn't had a birthday cake. So, out they went to buy me a cake. I'd love to say it was a delicious treat, however it was the stalest birthday cake ever. We all enjoyed a laugh over how bad it was! However it was served with alot of love, so ya gotta appreciate that.

I continue to feel really good even after chemo. Have been very tired and sleeping alot, but no major complaints, which is great.

With any luck, our 2nd grandbaby will be making his grand entrance very soon! We are expecting him any day and cant wait to meet him.

Next Tuesday, Kelly and I are off to WInnipeg to meet with the doctors regarding my surgery. I am looking forward to hearing the details, knowing a bit of what to expect and having this  plan in place.

Little Sawyer continues to bring sunshine to my days! He has been bringing me "presents" aka rocks which he proudly presents to me at the door each visit. His vocabulary continues to grow.  I am "gaga". Not quite close to gramma, but fine by me! He also never wants to leave Gramma and Pappy's. It might have something to do with the candy dish, which is always placed well within his reach.

All in all, life is good. Feel blessed to have so much support as we  get through this journey. Will keep you in the loop after my next doctors appt!

Always, Donna
