Sheri started her new chemo yesterday. They are hoping the side effects are minimal....we are too. They say she might get a little tired afterwards, and maybe a little nausea too. Her hair should be ok, though it might thin a little later on. They are worried her blood counts might drop as well. We remind them that Sheri has not had to have a blood booster shot yet...in almost three years of treatment. That is unheard of. Please pray for the chemo to do it's job on the spot in her hip bone, but that it leaves her blood alone. She takes this chemo in Wenatchee once a week...two weeks on, one week off. The doc says we'll probably be doing this for six months.
Meanwhile Sheri went walking with her buddies this morning at 6am (tired hu?). She is a trooper, full of fight! She loves her new class this year and talks about them all with a twinkle in her eye. She truly loves her job. She and I plan to head to Stehekin one last time this year....just us. The kids will be with Sheri's folks. We plan to leave right after Bryce's little man football game....I'm helping coach...it's fun and frustrating all at the same time. They are learning some good life lessons about pushing forward, even when it's tough and hard, and the other guy is bigger then you. I told Bryce that his Mommy is a good example of tough. I think he gets it.
Pray for Sheri's strength, and mine too! Looking up, and moving forward.
Brett and Sheri

such an inspiration for all of us! Thanks for the pick me up to showing us how to make the most of life. xo
I think about you daily. I was telling Kian about how one Friday night we were both working late and you came into my classroom and sat on the big bear that was in my room. You were pregnant with Alyssa at the time. Anyway, we just talked and talked that evening. The big bear now sits in Kian's room, and the other night we sat there and prayed for you and your family. I miss teaching with you!!
