Happy holidays everyone! Hope your Christmas was warm and cheery! Everyone made it back home to MN safely and on time despite all the snow. We had a great and thankful few days spent together with family.
Mom has been feeling great the last few weeks and is even back to work full time. Her hair has been growing back sporadically- so on Saturday we took turns and ended up shaving it all off (lathered her up with shaving cream and bic'd it!). Now it can grow out evenly and fee of toxins from the chemo!
Taylor needed a bit of medical attention himself on Saturday... he was playing in an annual softball game out on Lake Minnetonka and was hit in the forehead with a flying metal bat! Thankfully he didn't loose consciousness and just ended up with a swollen forehead with 7 stitches in it!
On Monday mom had a quick surgery to remove her port that was used for chemo. She's a bit bruised and swollen, but happy to have it out!
Our next hurdle to tackle will be mom's radiation. She will start next week most likely. She will have treatments 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Each treatment lasts about 10 minutes and everyone has said it will just make her tired- shouldn't be bad compared to the chemo, I'm sure she'll continue to get through this next phase like the champ she is!
It's been great looking through everyones Christmas cards and letters! We have so many people in our lives to be thankful for. We love you all, thanks once again for the continue love and support! Take care~
Love The Petersons
p.s. Congrats to the UW Badgers for winning the Champs Sports Bowl tonight, woo hoo!
