I'm so thankful to say that today was hopefully the last day I have to taper off of those steroids. I am very thankful for the good work they do in reducing swelling. Really, in the whole picture, feeling a little hopped up is much better than a swollen brain! Let's get it all in perspective.
I expect that it may take awhile for my body to readjust and that's ok. Right now I have quite the chipmunk cheeks. My doctor told me I would. I just told him that was more room for Brett to kiss me on the cheek and he laughed. He also said my hair would fall out again. Well, he must be a good doc. He is right on. It's just starting to come out today, so get ready for the wigs and hats!
All in all, life if great. We took a family trip to watch the Cougs play football this weekend. We had a ball. Yes, I know it's a rough year for the Cougs. I was hoping for just one touchdown...and they got 4! One touchdown in each quarter! All the die hard Coug fans in our section were ecstatic with the progress. Sometimes you've just got to rejoice in the steps of progress of life. It's how we play the game that's important, one step at a time. That's a lesson that I think God is continuing to teach us...looking up to Him.
Well, the kids are watching a movie with daddy and mommy better get downstairs to join them!
Thank you for all your continued prayers.
Looking up,
Sheri

I was hoping you might use some of that extra energy and come help me with my cleaning? We think and pray for you daily and can't wait to get back to the country and eat some cookies with you! Take care and remember it's the ugly heads that have the hair!!!

Hi, Amanda and Brett!
I've been following your blog.
You certainly are resilient.
I sent the paragraph about the Cougars to my best friend.
We hold the honor of sitting through the USC game where we suffered the worst loss in Cougar history.
Your paragraph meant a lot to me, and your blog helps me hang in there!

Hi Sheri and Brett
I saw your pics fromt the Coug game~fun! I am glad you got to have a weekend away and watch your favorite team play. Sheri, I can safely say the steroids were a "booster" for you. Man, you could really get things done on those things cause I saw your mail pile and it was not pretty! By the way, you are beautiful bald sister!
love and God bless

Hey Sheri,
For all you are facing you remain so positive! I know it is not just for the blog that you are so upbeat, because I know you and you truly are one to see the glass half full. I said to my family this weekend,"I want to be like Sheri when I grow up!"
Love you guys and looking up!
