It's a winter wonderland here!

Dear sweet friends and family,
    Well, I started my second round of chemo last Friday and honestly it has been very difficult.  Since Friday I have been plagued with terrible nausea and didn't even come downstairs until Sunday night.  I just thank God for my wonderful husband.  I cannot even put it into words how sweet, caring, loving and supportive  he has been to me.   I look so bad, but he still comes into the room calling me his princess.  He is mom and dad to our kids right now, nurse to me, and still running his business.  I don't think I can ever repay him but I will try to be the best wife I can be for the rest of our lives together.  Also, our kids have been amazing.  When I got home from chemo on Friday, there was an "award" on my pillow.  Every Friday at the school the kids give each other homemade awards for nice things that happened during the week.  Harrison made an award for me!  He stood up in front of the entire school and said that I was having a rough time but I was going to get better and how much he loved me!!!!  The Head of School called Scotty later and said that there wasn't a dry eye in the house.  Maddie has been an angel.  She is so sweet to me.  I am so blessed to have everyone's support.  Sorry I have not been in contact, I have just not been up to it.

Specifically, if you could all pray that the nausea will stop.  It usually just lasts a couple of days, but mine has continued for 5.  I believe that God will get me through this, but  it is so hard.

Love to all,
