We won, we won!!!!

Oh my gosh, that was the most incredible game to be at! Thank you to Vidya Sharma for pushing me to go! I am so glad I did! I was a bit tired yesterday and on the way home was a bit tiring, but so worth it! It was so refreshing to be in warmer weather, it just felt so good and does a body good! I lasted all night too, how could I get tired with a game like that. We did start to get pretty quiet when we were down 9 points but thank god KU turned it up and got us back on our feet!
I have a doctors appointment today with my oncologist. So I will probably be heading back to chemo soon, ugh! I am completely dreading it and truly don't want to go back but what choice do I have. I guess I have the choice to not go back, but that isn't fair to my family! Especially after receiving this amazing gift of a wonderful surgery that got about 90% of the cancer out. I can't let things go now. I just hate feeling tired and useless on those chemo weeks. Maybe I won't feel that way this time. Positive thinking!
Ella is as energetic as always! Just all over the place, constantly wanting to go outside and play. even when it is cold, like yesterday. Thank you to Angie who is so helpful when i am exhausted, she helps me out with Ella. Ella loves her, so it isn't hard, she automatically goes to her some of the time. We are still struggling with her bedtime, getting out of bed several times. I want to put that "door" back on as she calls it. Last night though, she actually fell asleep in my arms, which I love! She wanted to rock more, I caved in and agreed and then she fell asleep. Another memory and moment to cherish.
Well, I will let you know what I find out from my doctors appointment. I have to go back up to Omaha on the 21st to get my filter removed and see Dr. Foster again. Then I will hopefully have complete clearance. Even though I feel like I have clearance now for most everything.
Everyone have a great week, I guess it will be the weekend here soon. I heard it could snow, yikes. Let's hope that is it and the weather starts turning warm from there on out! I need to start going for walks and getting some exercise and Vitamin D, from the SUN!!!! Talk to you all soon. shawndra

I'm still convinced you were our good luck charm! I told so many people you were heading down there, so now they are all asking me if you had a good time. I'll happily report, YES!
I'm anxious to hear what your doc has to say today. Also, I know this is a long shot, but was wondering if you wanted to head to Lawrence, Sunday, to see a bit of the parade. I've never done anything like it and have a feeling it will be a lot of fun.
I'll check in with you later - take care!
Love, d

Shawndra, I have been thinking about you alot lately and wanted to let you know. I know you are having a really tough time on some days and know that we are all still out here cheering you on. The highs and lows of what you are going through are just that. I wish you pain free days, lots of love and happiness in each moment you share with your family. You are one tough cookie and you inspire me and make me want to do better, be better. Hang in there girl and know you are so loved. Have a great week!!!!!!!!!! Melodie Chrisman
