Happy Friday!
We just got home from the Dr. - didn't learn much that we didn't already know. Yes, it's cancer, yes, the incisions look good, yes, I'll probably have 4 - 6 months of chemo (depending on what the oncologist says next Friday), and yes then I'll have radiation after that. But, he agreed with the surgeon - we caught it early enough and I'm young (?!) enough, all signs are good, so WE WILL BEAT THIS!!
I got my hair cut this a.m. - short. Sam was afraid that I would come home with a haircut like his, but it's not THAT short. Just want to be prepared! It feels so much better. Then we met Lisa (from my work) for lunch. Everyone has been so supportive - it's just hard to take it all in.....
Now, we're almost ready to leave for Elgin - just a quick trip, but we'll get to spend some time with Sam's mom and take flowers to the cemetaries. It will be good to get away too.....
So, everyone have a good week-end....Steph - hope that sweet Jaden is doing o.k., and hope that you and Sal are able to get some unpacking done and have some much needed "down" time.
Bye for now.
Love,
Karen

Karen & Sam,
I hope you enjoy your trip and are able to get rest this weekend. You are truly not in this alone. Thank you for being there for me. I am here for you as well, no matter how long this journey takes. Please keep relying on the rest of us at BOHH as we all love & support you! Thanks for lunch. My turn next time. Have a great weekend!

Hi Mom,
I am glad that he was reassuring and agreed with everything that has been said so far! That is a good feeling knowing that everybody is in agreement. And yes you are young, considering you are going to live to 105 and have wheelchair races with Mattie!!
I think that the Race will be very inspirational for all of you that are doing it. We will not be able to make the trip back though. The kids will be so strung out after being away for 5 days. I wish we could but next year we can ALL do it maybe Kelly can start planning on it now so she and her family can do it also!!
We are going to help Li's put up a swingset and taking our pool over for the kids. I will get pictures on our blog.
Hope you had a good visit with Grandma!
Love you both,
Krista & family

Hello you young lady, how are you feeling this fine Friday evening. I hope that you are doing good. Well sammy boy I have to tell you I just got another new truck today. So I need to get a hold of old spike, you know what I need. I won't write it because Steph is looking over my shoulder. Talk to you soon.
