Update 1.26.09

WOW! It has been awhile since our last posting. We want you all to know how much we have appreciated all of your prayers, emails, thoughts, wishes. It has been a challenging time.

Let's get you up to speed. Wanda has her last chemo infusion on 1.8.09. Chemo is a wiper-outer! Wanda pushes through..but the weeks after are hard...and it is not until the week of the next infusion that she is feeling back to "normal". And, that would mean, this Thursday 1.29.09 is another infusion.

However, during the time, she has had the opportunity to go out and get a new attitude with a new hairstyle


And..then there were some styles that didn't make the cut...

Of course, she has managed to get in some celebrations


And, had a wonderful visit from Tonia and Thomas Lorenz (and Alexia and Ian). This visit prompted the first ever Wanda's Warriors video. Warning..if you adverse to cuteness...do not watch :)

Please continue to keep Wanda in your prayers this week as she hits the MID-WAY point on chemo! It will be 3 rounds down..three to go!
We won't be so long between updates! Don't be strangers! Wanda loves to read each and everyone of your comments!!

Credits: Special thanks to Lindsey Martin for the wonderful pictures and Tonia and Tomas Lorenz for the awesome Warrior video!

Simply you are amazing in anything and you shoudl take advantage of this and get some new clothes too!!! lol Love you lots and hope to see you soon. Keep up the positivness!
