Latest Update
I haven't had much time to write lately because I've been so busy. My last doctor's appointment showed signs of hand and foot syndrome so my doctor put me on a two week break instead of one and I've had all kinds of energy this last week. So of course I've over booked and planned a million things in typical Vanessa fashion. I mean, the house isn't going to decorate itself, right?
We have three Christmas celebrations in the next week. Bre and Corey are in town for her work Christmas party so we're doing Christmas early with them. Sunday is the girls and we're having a dirty Santa exchange and going duck pin bowling. Next Friday is Rhys' side and we're doing dirty Santa there as well. Can't wait! ❤️
Last weekend we went to Frankenmuth Michigan and as Rocki put it, if there was snow, we'd have been in a Hallmark movie. We went to Bronner's of course since I don't think you can actually visit without a trip there and walked around all kinds of shops downtown. Luckily, my feet held up with just a little soreness at the end of the day. We were told to dine one night at Zehnder's and we weren't disappointed. We got a family style dinner with all kinds of sides and the chicken was pretty good as well. Pretty cool place to visit with all the decorations and lights.
I went to the doctor today and my hand and foot symptoms are about the same so we're progressing with my third cycle of this chemo. I also had my 14th immunotherapy today so only three more of those and then I can get rid of this pesky port maybe.
On another note, our friends' daughter, Addison, has DIPG (a rare form of brain cancer) and is showing some symptoms and inflammation in her brain. They are creating a new treatment plan of the high dose steroids don't work and she'll have another scan Sunday before they make a decision. If you pray, please add her to your prayer list. She's young, full of spunk and needs some good news! ❤️
TODAY'S SILVER LINING: I felt the wind in my hair today! It's been a minute since it was long enough for that. I've cut it twice since it's grown back so that I can try to even out the shorter top with the longer back and sides. I no longer look like an old man at least!
