Hi everyone. It’s Amanda writing you all today. Mom is at chemo but asked that I give an update.
Today is her 12^th round of chemo, 12 days before Christmas. She still has one big chemo to go before Santa comes.

Everyone I talk to says how terrific she looks and how great she is doing. I totally agree. I am especially proud of her because I know that this journey has been a real battle for her. Emotionally its been extremely tough, and physically the chemo is sure beating her up. With this in mind, it is sure a true demonstration of the kind of woman she is that she keeps smiling and pushing though. I am so proud of her for working so hard to be well and keeping her chin up through this all.

The last week has been tough on mom as she hasn’t got to see her boys in a few days. Sawyer picked up an virus so we have had to stay away from Grammie for a few days.  This has been hard on all of us! Sawyer just got off the phone with her and was kissing the phone! We sure miss her. Kyle is currently writing exams at college and looking forward to a bit of a break. Dad has been busy with work and his never ending to do list mom keeps adding to around the house! He has now painted the back room and kitchen. Go dad go!  Our family is planning a trip to Florida once mom is done her treatment. We are all looking very forward to this family time. Thats all for now.
