Day 148

We had Cameron’s birthday over the weekend. He won’t turn 2 officially until next week, but Becca will go in for chemo on Friday. It was a lot of fun and nice to see the family again. I think it was the best for Becca as it really lifted her spirits.

Becca has been doing well up until today. She became very nauseated and couldn’t keep anything down for 15 minutes all day. We believe it was her anti-nausea patch behind her ear was really working and we didn’t get a prescription for it. Usually they give it to her in the hospital and she is able to remove it after a day or so. But apparently it was working really well until it ran out. So I got her a few to get her through the week. It takes a long time to get it back into her system, I just pray she is able to get the rest she needs.

Becca is so looking forward to Christmas, as am I. It has been a roller coaster to say the least and I think it will be good for her to focus on something else for a change. The boys are a great diversion and it’s been nice to play and shop with them.

Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We are going to continue to fight and keep the faith!

Day 145

Becca made it home yesterday from her week long chemo trip. All in all, she did really well. She only got sick one day and was able to walk out on her own. She now has 10 days off until her next treatment. I finally was able to look at the schedule and she is half way home! Becca has had 4 out of 8 cycles. Each cycle now is two weeks with one week off. It has been very motivating for her to know that she has made it this far.

As the holidays are approaching, it has been very emotional for her. It’s hard for her (and the rest of us) not to think that she is truly blessed to be able to spend this time with the family. To see another birthday, to attend another Thanksgiving dinner, and to spend Christmas together as a family brings life into her. Life is too precious and you never know what the Lord has in store. I heard a great quote the other day, ‘It’s not that Heavenly Father makes bad things happen to good people, He just allows it.’

I know that we are blessed. More than just surviving this experience, but that we have so many friends/family that are going through this with us. I know that we could not do this alone. Please spend just one more hour with your family. Take the time to remember Him who loves us and does have an Eternal plan for all of us.

Keep the faith and continue praying. We love you.

Day 140

Becca made it safely back in the Huntsman yesterday to start her next chemo trip. This is a five day treatment and then she will have the next week off. She is feeling really good and taking it well.

To be honest, she is really wearing down with all the visits to the hospital. The thought of just spending a little time with the family has pushed her to not wanting to go in. However, Becca does understand that she needs to and wants to get better. It’s just really hard for all of us. Weeks are going by now, but given her time in the hospital the last few, it’s taken it’s toll on everyone.

The only thing we hold on to is the faith that He will heal her and will continue to bless us with patience and love. We continue to pray that the tumor will shrink and that our Father in Heaven will comfort us with His spirit. We have met some amazing people in the hospital here. She has been able to help other patients who have been recently diagnosed and try to help them and their family cope with the changes and what to expect. It really changes the focus and helps us see a bigger picture.

We love you all and want to thank you again for your continued prayers and gestures of hope.
