This update is much overdue!! I have to apologize for waiting so long to update my blog. After radiation was finished in October I was exhausted. Since then I feel like I have been playing “catch-up” trying to complete everything that was pushed to the side due to lack of energy.
Radiation ended well with no major problems and no terrible radiation burns. I’m now on the regiment of taking Tamoxifen for the next five years. Thankfully this is just a daily pill with hot flashes being the most annoying aspect of the medication.
I also have four months worth of hair that has grown back! I gave up the scarves and wig on October 31; how appropriate. It was very strange to be out in public with such little hair but it actually felt liberating. Philip was concerned that I forgot to cover my head and Elizabeth was concerned people would laugh and think I was a boy. Both kids have adjusted well and Elizabeth's only question now is when my hair will be long again. At the rate my hair is growing it will be a long time!
Thank you for your love and prayers over these past several months. Your encouraging words and cards were a source of strength and helped our entire family as we faced each new bump in the road of this journey. God was faithful in providing all of our needs during those times and continues to do so!
Our prayer for you as you prepare to celebrate Christmas is that your hearts and minds will be focused on the true gift, Jesus, who came to offer us the most precious gift of all, salvation through His shed blood on the cross.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
With much thanks and love,
Kelly, Daniel, Philip & Elizabeth
Psalm 66:8-10
Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping. For you, O God, tested us; you refined us like silver.
