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.

Day 137

Becca finally came home yesterday 🙂 Her levels didn’t drop as fast as we would like, but the good part is she is feeling really good. She will go back in on Friday for a full week of chemo (yuck!) but we are just moving along.

Please keep up the prayers, we love you all… more to come.

Day 133

Things went really well today. For the first time, Becca was not sick or in pain while going through the chemo. Usually she is pretty sick and sleeps most of the next day and it didn’t happen this time. We feel really blessed and it was nice to spend some quality time with her. Hopefully she will be able to leave on Monday and spend a few more days with the family.

Keep the faith.

Day 131

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great day today. Becca was feeling really good and we had lots of family over to share the day. It really was a tender moment for all of us considering everything that is going on in our lives. It was good for moral for us all to take a second and forget about the cancer and just enjoy the time with our family. We are just so thankful that we are surrounded, both physically and spiritually by all those who love us. Thankful for life and the happiness of the gospel.

We had a birthday party following our Thanksgiving dinner for Michael and one of his cousins. He was so excited and thought the whole day was just for him… the joy of being 4. We take Becca back in tomorrow for her next treatment. While she isn’t real happy about it, we are thankful we got to share the holiday as a family.

I will try and get some pictures posted soon, but please know that we love and miss you all. I know that we are bonded together with love and hope. Please keep praying and do just one thing more this week with your family… that’s what’s important. We love you all!

Day 128

Becca made it back to her mom’s home! I finally broke her out of there and was able to spend time with the boys. The CDC wanted her to spend every minute of the two weeks there just to make sure… I can’t blame them 🙂

Becca is doing well and seems to have a lot of her strength back. The first thing she did was pick up Cameron off the floor. She wanted to make sure she hadn’t gone back too far. The boys and the family were happy to see her in the home again.

Alas, Friday she will go back for her next chemo trip. They don’t want to wait too long since she missed one of them and they want to get her back on track. All in all she is smiling and ready to spend Thanksgiving as a family again.

Keep up the prayers and keep the faith!
