Happy Friday!

It really was a happy Friday! We didn't have radiation until 11:30am today, so I had time to sleep in, read, and go on a little run before I had to head to Seattle. The proton radiation center had Elizabeth in and out in no time...seriously...like 20 minutes...and we had a really fun afternoon! We went to pick up a paint project from Paint Away, walked outside (yes! Elizabeth walked with her crutches) around Redmond Town Center and grabbed some yummy treats from a French bakery. I'm so proud of how well Elizabeth's doing with her walking! This was her first outing without the wheelchair. I know it wore her out a bit, but she's so tough and slowly getting stronger. It's exciting to see! Here is Elizabeth working on her art project:

We'll take it back in to have finished in the kiln at Paint Away once she's done. (I love seeing her look so natural in her wig!) Elizabeth's also pushing her way through the lingering nausea from chemo. I asked her how she was feeling around dinner time and she said she's felt sick all day, but she does NOT complain!  I told her I can't decide if she's tough or crazy for declining around-the-clock nausea meds her first days back home from chemo. She hates taking so many meds and she's got enough being forced on her and so I don't force optional meds if she really doesn't want to take them. Ooohh...I forgot to mention that Dave's cousins sent Elizabeth an awesome care package here to Woodinville that she was able to open right when she got home from the hospital. She's enjoying everything they sent...especially the new Hydro flask and Burts bees chap stick. Thank you Skousens!!! Happy weekend to everyone! Thank you for the prayers, as always! We are being blessed in countless ways!
