FOUR MORE DAYS!

Hi everyone...hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We were fortunate to be surrounded by family and friends all weekend. On Thursday, Jordan arrived home for the holiday weekend from Calgary so it was great to spend some time with him. Marcus and Heather were also able to spend a couple of days with us so we had a wonderful visit with all the kids. We celebrated our Thanksgiving on Saturday and were joined by Heather's Dad, John, and his partner Vicki, as well as our friend Karin Kinley (another valley transplant!). We enjoyed another turkey dinner last night at our friends Steve & Peggy's. I am happy to report that the Big Guy was able to down more than his fair share of both dinners with the help of extra gravy portions!

Dallas's chemo ended on Thursday which was great. Unfortunately, he probably had his worst weekend both physically and emotionally. The cumulative effects of the chemo left him exhausted and the burns and swelling from the radiation made him very uncomfortable. Luckily, by yesterday he felt as though he was turning the corner and was ready for his last few days of treatment by this morning. He may feel tired for a week or two after treatment but then it should get a lot better. Thanks for all of your support - we don't know what we would do without you! More later...

Love,
Patty & Dallas

Hi Dallas and Patty!

Glad to hear that the treatment is over and that you'll be feeling better day by day Dallas. Karin was here and she has kept me posted, as well as Sherry. I think of you often.
