Here's the amazing turkey and carrots from our Thanksgiving dinner
I've taken a break from posting because I just wanted to ignore our 'cancer life' for a few days. It's been wonderful! The beauty of my pacific northwest home never fails to take my breath away. We had great weather and Elizabeth spent lots of time enjoying relaxing, family time, good food, and got a lot of walking in. (My parent's home is not wheelchair/walker friendly and it's sort of a blessing...it really pushed Elizabeth to move more.)
We're at the proton center right now doing her treatment plan. She'll get a special pillow bed made for her based on the CT done today and we'll be back in a few weeks to start treatment. We're so blessed to have my parents here and I feel like I couldn't do this without them.
On a very happy note, Elizabeth's weight had been a major concern and she had a great appetite this past week. (It was a huge blessing to have a week delay in her chemo schedule.) When she was weighed this morning I was SOO excited to see that her weight is stable and even slightly up from the last time she was weighed at the hospital. This is a tremendous blessing and an answer to prayers. Thank you everyone!!
I have a lot of anxiety about how exhausting this proton and chemo treatment period will be for Elizabeth, but everything has worked out and so I keep reminding myself to have faith and be positive. Our whole family will be here for the first 2 weeks of her treatment over Christmas break and we have to figure out how to navigate January. It's so much to consider, but I just rely on the Lord to guide is as we pray and work to sort out what's best for everyone.
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! I'm thankful for all of you...our family and friends supporting us and praying for Elizabeth and our family through this difficult time. We couldn't do it without you! Thank you!!
