Day 77

As the last few weeks have been good for Becca, today has not. I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I do want to share the truth as to what she is coping with. This round of chemo has taken her for a loop. She is really tired and very sick. We were warned that either the last one, or this one could do this. Each time she received chemotherapy, it sort of adds up. So, her body is kind of ‘retaliating’ against it. The good news is she is still hanging in there, it’s just been a very rough day. I know that we will get through this and they gave her the best room in the hospital 🙂

With General Conference going on, I just want to share my love for the Savior. What a great example in my life. I know that we are not alone in this. Our Father in Heaven and His Son are with us and watching over each of us. It is through our challenges that we become closer to Him and find ways to help others, as Christ would. I pray that each of you are blessed and receive the things that you need as you continue to pray for my family. We couldn’t make it this far without you. The tumor will shrink and Becca will be healed. We love you all.

Day 76

Well, I gently tucked Becca into the Huntsman Center for this weekend’s chemo trip. It is the same thing as last week, Methotrexate. She will probably be there until Monday morning, which is hard on all of us. But we know it’s where she needs to be. They take such good care of her, we know that she will be alright. We still have someone with her 24/7, but there are many who want to stay with her. Becca is so positive and wants to get better soon.

Michael look out the window in her new room. Becca actually has a better view this time 🙂

Day 74

Having troubles keeping up with us? Good, me too. There doesn’t seem to be much going on between chemo treatments. Becca goes back in on Friday for the weekend. She is on a three weeks on, two weeks off schedule. What a bummer way to spend them. The good news is it’s only a short time compared to our lives/eternity. So what’s one weekend here and there anyway?

She is doing well, continuing to work through the therapy and the emotional struggle. I think it’s been a roller coaster for all of us. Becca is like a candle that keeps burning, reminding us what’s important.

Keep the faith.

Day 73

Becca is doing well, they released her yesterday from the hospital. The chemo is designed to destroy her body and then they reverse the chemicals. This takes time and that’s why she is in the hospital so long. Hopefully as she gets used to the chemo she can be released quicker, but we are on the cycle for this Friday and the next, then she will have two weeks off.

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you all for your love and support. I was able to visit Dallas really quick and I can’t tell you how good it felt. I was overwhelmed with love and support from you all. We are in this together and we will win. Becca looks good and is working hard to beat this!

Keep up the prayers 🙂

Day 71

Becca is doing much better today. She was pretty much out of it all day yesterday. She didn’t remember much of our visit because of the nausia drugs. The main side effect is drowsyness and they worked. Becca had a very good friend from Texas come up and visit with her. She will be here for the next couple of days. It always brings a smile to her face when she sees friends from home. Today she is walking around in the hospital again and she sounds like a million bucks. We miss her when she’s gone, but we know the chemo is doing it’s job and shrinking the tumor.

Love you all, keep up the faith and prayers!
