Making ornaments for Sara’s 2nd grade students

This Monday, Sara had chemo round number 5, which is her last treatment for this year. Next Tuesday she will have a CT scan to determine the effect of the chemo regimen on the liver mets. On Wednesday she and Eric will meet with her oncologist to find out the results!! The anticipation is both exciting and nerve-wracking for all involved.

Making it through all 5 chemo treatments was rough, but Sara was determined to make it through. The face rash caused by Eributx was particularly challenging, causing a nurse at the chemo center to remark that it was the worst she had ever seen! Over last 2 weeks Sara had what has become a sort of routine – some good periods where she felt well enough to ride her horse briefly, and challenging periods where just getting up and out of bed is a major struggle. The holiday season brings more visitors, which is great, but Sara also has to be very careful not to catch a cold or any illnesses too.

Christmas carolers at Sara’s house

Since it is Christmas Eve I will focus on some of the best parts – surprise visitors from Maryland (Sammy and David), visiting Sara’s class at Black Diamond Elementary School, receiving carolers at her house, our brother visiting this week with his family, etc.

Jensen and cousin Elsa!

Happy holidays and 2016 to everyone – please keep the good thoughts coming Sara’s way and any type of support which can be provided!

 Sara and a patient Star 🙂
