Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We have had a nice couple of days. On Saturday we packed up the van and headed up to Vermilion to visit with my family. We stayed there until the afternoon of Christmas Eve. It was nice to be home and spend time with family. My hives have continued to get a little worse each day so I did not rest well while we were there. I am surprised how quickly I run out of steam. I will wake up and feel okay but by lunch time I am just completely wore out....they say that the effects of the chemo are cumulative so this may just be how things are going to be.....

Once we got home on Christmas Eve the kids were excited to get ready for Santa. Jillian seemed most excited about snacks for Santa and the reindeer and her letter for Santa, Tyler wrote exactly what she said and it went something like this "Dear Santa, how is your life, how had you been..." we all just love the "had" part of the sentence!! Today has been a nice relaxing day. After we opened gifts Bret made us a yummy breakfast and I went back to bed for a little nap. The kids have played most of the day and I have done some reading...it was nice just a have a day that we didn't have to be anywhere. I heard someone say last week that one of the best things about Christmas is being able to view it through the eyes of a young child...I have to agree. There is nothing better than the magic you see in the eyes of a child as it gets closer to Christmas eve....

I will probably call the doctor tomorrow about the rash since it has spread to my legs...I am hoping it won't delay treatment on Thursday. Dr. B. is out of town this week so I will have to work with another doctor...
