Thank You for an INCREDIBLE night and memory!

How do I begin to thank each and everyone of you how helped to make the benefit for my family such a fun, enjoyable and absolutely memorable evening?  I have to admit, I was nervous going into the night, but my nerves were calmed when I realized that the flood of people were there to support US.  The only thing I could do was smile, laugh, and immerse myself in the love that was surrounding me.  The amount of financial stress that has been relieved for our family has been tremendously relieved.  I just hope that someday I can pay it forward and relieve the stress for another family. 
I would also like to make sure that everyone is praying for a full recovery for Clyde.  He has been seriously injured and needs our thoughts and prayers.  We love you so much Clyde and are so sorry for what happened. 
P.S.  We will be framing the ten dollars the nurse found in your pants.  Hahaha.
Yesterday was my third treatment and I did not have a reaction this time.  We made sure to load up on steroids and benadryll before the chemo and it worked this time.  We also tried acupuncture in conjunction with the treatment.  So I don't know what actually helped the most, but will be sure to have the same combination next time.  Now if I can just get through this weekend, we will be on track to the last treatment. 
Most of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything everyone has done!

Halfway there!

Well, yesterday we completed the second of the four treatments.  Halfway there!!!  I did end up having another allergic reaction to the second bag of chemo, but at least this time I knew what to expect.  Needless to say, it was a long day, but a very necessary and appreciated one.  Now I am just pumping myself up for the next couple of days here.  Trying to keep on top of the medications.  Hopefully, we can get through this week with a little bit more ease and grace than last time. 
I just keep thinking of all the people that have been helping in so many ways.  I have to get through this to be able to show my appreciation for each and every one of you.  Especially the Bryant family and the Victor family.  Also, I am constantly blown away by what I continue to hear about the upcoming benefit and all those who are involved in the intense planning and organization.  For what??? For us??? Wow, I just hope that I can pass on my gratitude to all those that are giving up so much of their time to plan, organize and even attend.  It means so much, and in fact is helping to realize what life is about.  FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND LOVE!  I wish I could come up with a stronger more unique way to say the words THANK YOU!  I am working on it...
