Well, I had my procedure monday morning then Doug dragged my groggy tush to chemo where I slept quite a bit until I got out of the anesthesia funk. The nurses were teasing me, Doug brought an eye mask with us so I could sleep better at chemo. They were calling me princess because of it. Everything went well, no complications. This afternoon I was a bit tired. Ella and I had a pajama day, which was kind of nice. I am still in my pajamas as I write. I love those days. We got to try out one of the meals I made at DreamDinners the other night. It was a hit with my husband, so I was happy. (He can be picky sometimes).
We had a great weekend getaway saturday. Doug and I got to layout on the dock, go for a boatride, lay in the hammock, fish and drink a pitcher of strawberry margaritas (my absolute favorite). It was wonderful. Sunday evening, we had pictures taken with Ella and her cousins on Doug's side. They took great pictures and we had a fun evening at cheesecake factory after that.
I go tomorrow to get my pump off. That gives me a feeling of freedom, when I have the pump I feel a bit bogged down. I am glad I only have it a couple days every two weeks. I hope the rest of the week goes well, my mom seems to think it hits me the most towards the end of the first week. We will see.
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. I am keeping you all in my prayers, for I can not do this without you! I am blessed with such a strong support system. You all inspire me to keep on. Thank you. shawndra

Shawndra - You are a source of strength to so many others. Your story is so compelling and filled with the love in your heart. It seems like you are paying such a high price, yet you know the one who paid it all. We continue to pray for you and your family. Glad to hear that you had such a great weekend. Ella is a blessed little girl to have such wonderful parents.
