Weekly Update 12.13.2007

Hello all! My semester is complete, but the 12 hour shifts are still going strong. I am going to attempt a regular weekly Honey update...

Well, this week has been OK. Honey Bear had been looking forward to the annual Christmas party with the Bunco girls for quite some time. She rested up all day on Tuesday and hitched a ride to the party. She was feeling pretty good until all of the sudden at the dinner table... the nausea hit. There was a mad dash to the bathroom, and she very luckily made it just in time. After that Honey said she actually felt much better and she made it through the entire party and had a wonderful time! The next morning she called her doctor's office nurse as she has been instructed to do whenever any nausea or vomiting occurs. She spoke at length with the nurse regarding the nausea and at the end of the conversation the nurse suggested the prescription marijuana pill. She said she would talk to Dr. Rader and would let Mom know if it would be a good idea for her(and we all thought Honey Bear was goofy before - Watch out!). I'll definately keep you all posted on that one. As for her hair, it is very thin, but there is still a descent amount left. She has a little nearly bald patch up on top so she just wears her sunglasses up there. Dad feels no sympathy he said he's been living like that since he was 30!!! She is still protesting the buzz cut, so we will all just have to accept the bald patches :) She is still very tired and if she knows she is going somewhere she has to rest up for it all day leading up to the event. Dad has been awesome... he cleans, sweeps, dusts, vacuums, and he even cooks. However, he and Mom really appreciate it when you all bring dinner over (THANKS!) Everyone has been absolutely amazing!!!

Hi Honey! I was o excited to be able to take you to the Bunco Christmas party and was soooo glad you were able to hang in there so late into the night. I think it was close to 11:00 when we finally got home. Way to hang in there and rock with the Bunco gals. I know they were soooo excited to see you and of course we will now expect you at January BUNCO. They are the best friends in the world and are always there for any of us in our time of need . Keep hanging in there as you are an inspiraton for all of us. As they say in the Army, when the going gets tough, the tough get going, ie a Dan Harlan quote, anyway, we think about you daily and of course you are in our daily prayers, so Never, Never give up and we will see you thru this adversity.
