Two days of chemo done... Grier is doing ok--- He started with a side effect on day one... but so far we have it controlled with immodium.
Jeff took him to the hospital on Sunday for the infusion. It went well-- we lucked out with one of the nurses we really like... and that helped me relax knowing everything was going to be ok.... I gave Jeff a "list"-- it had medicines Grier takes.... and other important things that help -- I even sent the dressing Grier likes for his port... it was good for the "boys" to do this together.... They were busy doing Football logos--- and Grier kept telling Jeff "that is not how mom does it~"
I stayed home with Grace and Hayes and got them to their activities.... and tried to organize the house.... I also planted flowers because the pots had been dead and empty for a long time.... and this has been on my list of things to do---
Saturday was a fun day... Grier played in his final soccer game of the season.... got his trophy and was very excited... He went to Dale Jarret Ford and sat in a mustang cobra... and had a good time... and then went to the driving range to hit golf balls.... For dinner we went to Pizza Peel---every Saturday in November a part of their proceeds will go to Cookies For Kids Cancer. Last Saturday, Beth played live music and we had fun. My kids are still talking about how they loved Pizza Peel--- Lesa and I did some "car decorating"-- We have painted about 10 cars now all with Bake Sale information on the windows.... Have you seen any around town?
Bake Sale Update-- The planning is still going well.... we have lots of bakers but we always could use more. We do need some help from 3-6 to help work the tables at BlackHawk and clean up---
And we need help getting the word out in the community.... we would love to send the information through school email --- Since we all go to different schools I need your help reaching out to the person in charge of the email--- we can not send flyers home due to the cost that would involve.... so an information email is the best.
Raffle items are slowly coming in--- we are excited with some of the new ones we got last week... several pieces of Art from various local artists like Windy O'Connor, Pam Anderson, Caroline Simas (Multiple Blessings) and Anne Neilson-- We are still looking for gift certificates and "baskets" from local stores---
Please let me know if you can help spread the word about the bake sale--
