Good News

Some good news - we originally thought that Vicki would have to have weekly treatments of herceptin for a solid year. However, this is incorrect. While she has to have weekly treatments while she's undergoing chemotherapy, after the chemotherapy is completed the herceptin treatments will only be every THREE weeks for a year. This is GREAT news!!!

Vicki underwent her second round of chemo this week. They say that with each treatment, the side effects will get worse and worse. This seems to be true, as Vicki has felt much worse this week then she did the first time around. However, we know that it's necessary to go through in order for her to get well. She should start feeling better next week.

This year was the first Thanksgiving having the whole family together again - the past two years Jonathan was on his mission in Colorado. Not only did we have Jonathan home, but we have a new addition - baby Owen. We all enjoyed being together and then as tradition would have it, getting our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. Vicki started decorating for Christmas last week as she knew she wouldn't be feeling very well this week. The house looks gorgeous - thanks for making Christmastime special for all of us, Mom!
