Birthday Weak

3-29-09

I’ve had a better week! Tomorrow I have an appointment with Dr. Harker and then on Thursday I will see Dr. Avizonis. Hopefully the initial report on my last treatment will be positive. I’m predicting that they will be scheduling scans in the near future to see exactly what has happened. I am hoping that I will have a few weeks off since I still feel very weak!

Ron was able to finish the radon mitigation project in our home yesterday. It was a lot of work, but now the system is pumping the radon out the roof into the air where it won’t cause any trouble for anyone!

The girls remain busy with all aspects of their lives….school, lacrosse, and their social lives fill their days with endless activities! Oh to have the energy to keep up with their lives!

Ron is enjoying teaching his 4th graders. Last week he was busy Wednesday and Thursday evenings with parent-teacher conferences. Ron and the girls are looking forward to going to Moab for Easter in a couple of weeks. Hopefully the weather will be warm for them….it has been snowing the past few days and everyone in Utah is hoping for Spring!

I have been able to keep my food down for the past few days! Food still doesn’t taste good, but I can eat. Now I just need to rebuild my strength, I have lost a lot of weight and don’t have enough energy to do the things that I want to do. But I am slowly regaining energy. Yesterday Ron and I were able to take Cleo on a walk. It is nice to get outside!

On Friday I was able to go into school for a few hours. It was wonderful seeing my friends. They presented me with two boxes filled with hats that the clubs at Skyline had gathered for me. It was fun trying on the different hats, some were very creative! I look forward to wearing them when I return to school. Hopefully I will be able to work part time soon!

I was able to celebrate my birthday on Wednesday, we really didn’t celebrate since Ron had conferences and I wasn’t feeling the best. I did enjoy a great meal of soup and salad from the Lindseys and Lynn Park brought me some strawberry shortcake! It tasted pretty good!!! I look forward to having a much better birthday next year!

Again I want to thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers. I feel comforted as I deal with this trial. Ron and the girls continue to be wonderful in helping me with anything that I may need. Hopefully next week will be even better than this week!
