2.23.09 Drippity Doo-Dah, Drippity Day....

CHEMO IS A GO!! Missi called and the infusion started around 11:30am this morning. The numbers were WAAAAYYYY up there..a good sign that our Warrior got some rest and was ready to fight on!

As many of you know, the week after Chemo is hard..both physically and emotionally. So, we would encourage you to reach out to Wanda with a card...a note...or even post a comment on the blog. Your prayer, thoughts and wishes do more for her than any vitamin ever would :)

2.22.09 A bump on the road to recovery...

Just a brief update...Wanda was scheduled to have Chemo on 2.19.09. She had some tests that came back too low to proceed with the infusion. So, Wanda has been taking it easy this weekend, lots of rest and taking care of herself. She will trek back down to City of Hope tomorrow (Monday) to get re-tested and hopefully get treatment then.

Because she is such a strong lady, we may tend to forget that this is still serious business and the side-effects that come with chemo. We would ask that you continue to keep Wanda in your prayers and positive thoughts as we go through. The battle wages on.

Wanda gains so much through your messages, both on the blog and by other means. Take some time today to drop her a card to let her know you are thinking about her. You cannot begin to phathom the power that has on her battle!

We will update tomorrow with the results of the tests.

Wanda and the Warriors heading to the dessert for some LOVE!

A early- Happy Valentines Day to all of the Warriors out there! My gosh..time seems to go by so fast in between posts.

Wanda is doing really well after the last round of treatment. She has had more strength and energy this time than recent treatments. Amazingly enough, Wanda has retained a great deal of her hair through chemo (yes, I know..there was so much..how could it all leave...) so much so that she got a day of beauty last week with Missi. They both look stunning!

Wanda is heading down to Dessert this weekend for some much needed R&R with some of the Riverside, San Diego and Palm Dessert Warriors for a Valentines hul-a-ba-loo! Should be a great time!

Next week, Feb 19, is round 4/6 of Chemo. Please continue to lift Wanda up as this phase of the battle continues.

Happy Valentines Day!!

Aren't you all glad the title of this entry wasn't "Wanda and the Warriors heading to the desert for VD!"??? LOL!!!

It's really how you look at it....


(Here's the reply the teacher received the following day)

Dear Mrs. Jones,
I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer. I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it. Her picture doesn't show me dancing around a pole. It's supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot.
From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Smith
And, we know, all you Warriors thought it was about shovels...right?
