Chemo

Well now you see our wonderful sky box view from the chemo room in Sheri's picture with her new quilt. The quilt came in handy in keeping her warm. They keep the chemo drugs cold, so when they go in you get the chills. Sheri enjoyed showing all the nurses her new quilt and the messages you all wrote on the back.

The chemo room is one of those places you'd hoped you'd never have to visit in your lifetime. I think they know that there, so they make it as nice as they can. They have a great juice and snack bar which the nurses showed me to right away. I joked that they'd regret showing it to me.....after all I am a big guy, who partakes in a snack here and there! The nurses are always cheery, combined with Sheri's perpetual cheeriness, and you'd have no idea that that place was a cancer ward. Thank you to the staff and volunteers there, you make the experience bearable.

Keep praying for the chemo to do it's job. So far she's felt pretty good. She gets achy, and tired a couple of days afterwards. Thank you for all the emails, cards, calls, and conversations. We knew we moved back here 15 years ago for a reason, this is one of them. We know people are concerned, thank you. Keep it coming, it is very encouraging.

Actually we only started the tick 2 days ago. We did the math and it's over 5000 from the day we started!
