It's been a rough week physically. I'm not sure if it is because I went so long between treatments or just because this one is affecting me more. My bone pain is to the extreme of when I was in my actual starting cycle of treatments. This, of course, is difficult to deal with when I'm on my own. I'm not able to sit and rest or take medication like I need to help with the pain. Along with this is some added side effects that I have not had in quite some time. So, if you think of me....please pray for the physical end of things for the next couple of days. Thanks.
I will say this, though....I've had some help being distracted......we had a snow storm here
in Vegas. Yes, really. Granted I know it was small compared to some of you who are used to feet and feet of snow. BUT. For us from the islands & the desert.....it was a blistery storm. Take a look at a few of the pictures I have loaded. The kids had a blast. We even had an official 'snow day' yesterday. I really needed just a break. A break from all the schedules and stuff. And I was blessed in the form of our snow day. We had a lot of fun. And created a great deal of laundry :)
The days are fast approaching for many good things. Tylor will be with us this Christmas. All of us are excited to see him....but I don't think anyone more than Tala. Christmas is such an incredible reminder of the ultimate gift from our Heavenly Father. I love, love, love Christmas. Always have. And 8 years ago (almost)....Roy & I were blessed with Tala on Christmas night. (Side note bragging: Tala was actually the last baby born on Christmas 2000 in the USA - 11:59pm) We try to have many special traditions to separate the specialness of both. Following Christmas signifies the 2 year mark of my diagnoses, along with the fact that I will be able to say I am a 2 year survivor. 2 YEAR SURVIVOR!!! Wow! This journey has been long, but yet, seems just like yesterday that it all started.
I imagine I will have a lot to say in the next few weeks. :) Until then, Shannon
(sorry, I've been trying to end this 'gracefully'...but I have many small people vying for my attention right now :o) )
