It has been
an eventful week, and I am happy to say… 9 treatments down only 16 more to
go!!! There is so much to update you on!
The Fourth
of July
We had a
wonderful 4th filled with lots and lots of FIREWORKS! For the first
time ever we went all out, and ended up going to my brother-in-law’s sister’s house
four a BBQ and awesome firework show. We all had many, many fireworks and took
turns letting them fly. We were almost certain Carter and I would be watching
all the fun from the window, but Carter surprised us all. After lots of crying
and cringing from the loud fireworks days before, he loved watching the beautiful
colors blast loudly in the sky on the 4th of July. I think Jason was
relieved he didn’t have a little son who was scared of such loud, big, things.

Treatments
My
treatments this week haven’t been too bad. Except for being a little nauseous
with a head ache afterwards, I’ve been doing pretty well. I love that I go in
to the cancer center at the same time every day, because I get to know so many
wonderful people there. My therapists are so much fun and love to laugh and
joke around with me. They always ask about cute little Carter, and laugh at all
the fun little stories I get to share with them.
Tuesday we
went to the zoo again, and discovered some new animals and new places. This
time not only was the splash pad his favorite part, but Carter loved the small
animal building. He laughed, yelled, and giggled at the muskrats that came
right up to the window to peek at him. He thought the porcupines were oh so
very interesting, and I think the thing he loved most is that they were all at
his level. He ran to each window pointing and having a ball. Jason and I just
loved to watch our little man get so very excited about the neat looking little
creatures.

Saturday our
good friends from Logan UT invited us to their cute little girl’s birthday
party at the zoo! We are so glad for our season pass, otherwise this trip to Utah
would have been a lot more expensive than it already has been. After the zoo we
went to a nearby park to celebrate and Carter got to hit his very first piñata!!
We were so happy to not only see our friends and spend the day with them, but
we were so happy to share such a special time with them and have another one of
Carter’s firsts!

Blessings
It is so
interesting that as we go through hard times, we are able to see the wonderful
blessings that our Heavenly Father has given us. They didn’t seem to be so
special until something drastic changed our lives forever. I am so very
thankful that I have such a wonderful family to keep me smiling through this
time. I am so thankful for a wonderful husband who has been so willing to take
my place for a little bit to be Mr. Mom. I am also so very thankful for modern
medicine, wonderful doctors, and that my experience has been so very pleasant.
We have continued to be filled with love and concern from family, friends, and
even complete strangers. I know our Father never leaves us while we are going
through hard times, he is even closer than he has ever been to us. For all
these things, I can never thank my Heavenly Father enough! Have a happy week! J
