Well, my hair is beginning it's great migration...I'm thinking this means the chemo is working. That makes it worth it in my mind. I still shed a few tears in Brett's arms. A girl can't help but miss all that hair that we fuss around, fight with and complain about. At this point I still have a head of hair...it's just much thinner. That's OK. I keep saying this adventure makes me brave to do things I wouldn't have tried without it. Now we're on to cute hats and wigs. Tomorrow Tammi will help me shape a couple of wigs.
Brett is braver than normal too. I get a kick out of his new do. We decided we need to have a little fun in the midst of all this. In fact, I told him we both need to go for a ride in the convertible with the top down just to feel the wind on our bald heads...when it gets warmer! So, if you see a couple of nuts driving around bald...it's just us having a little fun!
Last week went well at the hospital. My port worked on the first try! I had the same nurse and I think she was just as ecstatic as we were.
I want to say thank you to everyone who has been so helpful. Just about the moment I thought "I should really make some holiday goodies for my family" delicious Christmas goodies walked through the door! And then to my Angel Crew: Thanks! You make the house sparkle when I'm at chemo and it's a joy to come home to. Thanks to all for the flowers, cards, e-mails and words of encouragement. You are all the wings I rest on when I'm a little tired. God is honestly our foundation and you have been His hands in many ways. Thank you.

Hey Guys! Sorry I've been lax on the leaving messages, I had to get used to live w/o Juliana! I got all excited to see you guys at church though. I can see the LCBS crew bald right along with ya! Good to hear about the port working better. I thought for sure that air compressor thing would scare it back into working! Keep on keepin' on! -Kev
I am writing this for Justin who was in you class last year. He would like you to know that he wants you to get better soon and that he thinks of you often. With all his love Justins mom

I love your pink hat you wore to church on Sunday! It will make you easier to find in the crowd that gathers around you after service is over! Brett, I dont remember seeing your whole entire head on Sunday....did you keep the mohawk? I hope so, it is very YOU!

Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard
