Month: June 2009

  • Wowie...

    Okay, so I am still approximately 4 months behind on my postings - I may never catch up and there is soooooo much news!

    First, congratulations to Sean & Whitney - they welcomed their baby boy, Jace Aiden Mosley the first week of June!  Duke and Gannon drove down to Roseburg to visit, while I stayed home sick with allergies and a cold.

    Secondly, congratulations to my brother Jerry & Britt, as they are expecting another baby boy in September!

    And lastly, I got an all CLEAR on my CT scans in June, so no cancer!!!!!!!

     

  • My FINAL chemo!

    So I had my final chemo treatment on March 12, 2009 and I was fortunate to have both my parents there to share with me that one last drip!  All the nurses were thrilled to see my dad again, as he was my companion throughout the initial part of chemo (the BAD part), and they had never met my mom since she was always home with Gannon, so it was nice for everyone to meet.  It was also a very bittersweet and emotional day for all of us, as it had been one hell of a journey - both for me and for my parents.  My mom was the most emotional as she felt it was not fair that I had to go through all that I had - but I made it, and I love you mom and dad for all your support!  I couldn't have made it without you guys that is for sure!

    After my last chemo, we met up with Duke at a local restaurant to celebrate!

    Not sure where he got that "spot" on his forehead....

    Gannon is actually very very talented at hitting those tiny little balls with that skinny stick - he definitely has very good hand-eye coordination!

  • Dare I say, but another update....

    Still working on catching up with our postings! 

    Duke and I are both recoverying well - and we are both attending physical therapy!  What a household of fun times...Gannon is doing great as well.  We made the decision to move him from his current daycare into another place that is more focused on learning and preparing him for PreSchool/Kindergarten as he has been after us to go to "school" for several months now.  He speaks, we listen!

    Anyway, I just need to do a few more photo dumps before we are caught up -

    Here is Gannon's birthday party - we initially were not planning a party of any kind other than just spend it with family.  The weekend before, for Valentine's day, we went to Tri-Cities to celebrate with my farmily, and then the weekend of his birthday, we were planning to just hang with Duke's family, but then the word got out at Gannon's daycare about his upcoming birthday and soon I got word that Gannon wanted to  have a party!  So we basically just invitied his daycare over, as I was still in the middle of chemo, though close to finishing up (in March Yeah!), and pretty tired.  However the party turned out great and Gannon had a fantastic time with all his friends!
