Eleven for Tuesday

1. I finished my LAST chemo treatment last week. I'm so excited to be all done with the hard stuff. My appointment went very well and all the nurses were giving me hugs afterwards. My doctor's office is moving closer to my work and they will be able to accommodate my work schedule when I return back to work in January. Radiation treatments begin on December 2 for 6 1/2 weeks.

2. I went to a play group on Thursday afternoon to the McDonald's playplace. I was running late but still had a nice time visiting with all the kids and parents. The youngsters all wanted to play with Savannah and feed her a bottle and hold her.

3. I went to Walgreen's to print off some pictures of Savannah and ended up waiting a long time to get to the photo machine. I wasn't too happy about this but I didn't want to come back so I waited patiently. I went back after play group to pick up my photos.

4. I came home and I scrapbooked all night long (literally). I was unstoppable because I completed 16-17 new pages. I need to go buy some more refills to put them in my scrapbooks.

5. The older kids spent the night at Sabrina's house on Friday. The kids mother went on a cruise and we are keeping the kids for the rest of the week. I convinced Frank to keep the kids out of school Monday thru Wednesday due the hardship of having to drive them everyday.

6. I took Savannah in for her 6 month doctor visit. She is currently 15 lbs 8 oz and 26inches long. She received all of her shots including the H1N1 shot. I didn't want to get this shot for her but the doctor strongly recommended it. She has started to get up on her knees and is getting ready to start crawling. Still no signs of any teeth although she is drooling a lot and constantly putting things in her mouth to chew on. We continue to feed her baby foods. She really likes carrots.

7. I had a consultation with Dr. Boyer on Tuesday for radiation therapy. He went into detail about the treatments and what to expect in the next couple of weeks. The doctor wants to wait 4 weeks from the last chemo treatment to allow my body to heal itself. Still no real signs that my hair is coming back only peach fuzz. I should start growing some hair growth soon.

8. I met with my chemo doctor today and he said that everything looked great. I have to schedule another echocardigram to see how my heart is functioning. I will continue to receive my Herception treatments every 3 weeks.

9. I went to the Chicago temple on Friday night and we did a session together. It was nice to get together.

10. On Saturday morning I went to the Woodfield Mall and I helped a friend do some shopping. We hung out afterwards for lunch at my house.

11. I watched Sabrina's kids yesterday and that was a crazy day. It's not easy having 3children all under the age of 3 years old. Elena helped me cook dinner and we baked cookies together.
