12 Down and 0 to go!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wednesday we completed number 12..........also known to us as the final chemo. Can't believe it has been 26 weeks already of this crazy ride. I was treated to a surprise celebration at home with a homemade lemon cake since i still cannot eat chocolate......actually i can eat it i just can't taste it. We had a little sad taste of irony to complete number 12 - thought we were headed back to the ER.... had some sharp debilitating side pains early Wednesday morning but they have since disappeared fortunately.....always interesting. It is now time to focus all energy on getting rid of Alf - should have something positive to report next Thursday.
Aidan and I decided to continue the celebration on Thursday - playing a little hooky and going to March Madness (his favorite thing in the world) at the Rose Garden....needless to say it inspired him for his basketball game later that evening........although his school lost to their cross town rival 41 - 27.....Aidan had 22 of the points. I just prayed i didn't fall asleep on him at the games but he was so excited he kept me up the whole time talking.......sounds like his mother.
Lastly, Connor's Mock Trial team heads to the State Championship this weekend.....very exciting. They have been practicing before school and on weekends so at this point as a senior I think he may be more excited to have it over with so he can have his weekends and early mornings back.

Good luck to Sandy Mangine who began her chemo ride on Monday - stay positive it will be behind you quicker than than you think.
Stay healthy -
Best

Hi Chris (et al)- Congrat's on finishing the 12 rounds- and certainly pray there is no more needed in your future. Will pray for good news about your colon/ intestines and hope you can move ahead with the reversal. What an incredible jouney - and the kids seem to be doing well. Way to go Connor in your first aceptance. Exciting times! It's a nice relief to get the first one - and scholarship $$ too-- Ya baby! - and Sebby Do's invite to lacrosse camp in Colorado! Cool! And Aiden well, I see those pic's of him and just smile! What can I say! Hello to Amy the world traveler. Love to all ..from the Florida fam (ps go Gators tonight!) Karen
Karen's comments say it all from The White House in Beantown. We all are being vigilant and hope to celebrate with you the cancer knockout blow as quick as you learn of it.....in the meantime hoping Amy has a speedy recovery! YEESH!!........I do think Connor Richard (aka 'Con Tower') looks smarter than everyone else in his Mock Trial picture (or maybe he's supposed to because he's a White?!)....Sebby, don't think too far ahead about the summer invitation before you finished the year strong, academically!! (you KNOW we love you, 'Professor'...what's the latest book?)....and Aiden (aka 'Lime-ade'), KEEP Shooting?! Finish S-T-R-O-N-G!!! -- Jerry
