Becca is doing well and enjoying the time with the family. Her sister Jennifer, from California, was able to fly in with her kids to be able to spend Christmas with the family. Jennifer’s work wanted to give her the opportunity to spend time with us to lift Becca’s spirits and to help her own. They gathered gifts for the boys and had them sent out to help make it special for them.

It has been a blessing to have Becca’s whole family out for this very special time. The cousins are able to play and talk about what Santa will bring them this year. We all know that we have been blessed beyond measure this year.

Becca continues to work hard to get stronger, enjoy the time with the family, and make sure she can make someone smile. She means the world to me and I am just so thankful we have had this time together.

Please continue to pray for her, as well as for all those who need a special lift this year. I know that we all have our challenges and trials, but I know that our Father in Heaven loves us and wants us to be happy. We can find this happiness through our family, faith, and our trust in Him. May the Lord bless us all this holiday season. We love you, keep the faith.

Becca is out of there! She has been released today and is able to spend Christmas as a family. Becca did so well with this chemo and cleared the chemo very quickly. She ate a TON of ice chips and walked around the complex a ton. They don’t know for sure what clears it faster, but this has been the fastest we have gotten out of there with this type of chemo.

Becca is doing really well and eager to spend time with the family. She won’t go back in until the 27th, so we are all excited. The boys are doing great and are so focused on the Holidays they aren’t missing home too much right now.

Thank you all SO much for your love and support. We can not do this without you. Please continue to pray for us, especially that the tumor continues to shrink. I know there are many who are praying for us and for that we are forever grateful. We love you all.

Becca is doing well, she is over the nausea for the most part. She still has it from time to time, but it’s nothing like it was. She is getting ready for tomorrow’s chemo trip, even though not real keen on it.

All in all she is doing well and ready to get this round over with. We will have a gap since she was able to ‘negotiate’ with her doctors to spend Christmas with the family. But given the situation, we all know it will be better for all of us if she is able to be with the family during the Holidays.

Please continue to pray for us, we can’t do it without you.

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.
