Another post from Wendy

Again can I just say how completely overwhelmed I have been with all the prayers, texts, emails, cards, phone calls, facebook messages, etc.  My family & I have been completely blessed by the outpouring of support!  I have two of my strong chemo treatments down & two more to go then once a week for twelve weeks with a milder dose of chemo meds.  So far everything has gone well...I have not been sick!!!  This past week the hair started to come out so Ashlyn, my mom & I went and picked out a wig.  It was a very emotional time but the lady at the wig shop was super sweet and kind!  My hair just kept coming out so Monday evening my own personal hairdresser, Andy shaved my head.  It was a family event.  Andy shaved as the kids watched!  We have matching haircuts!  

This is my NEW hair!!


So this has been a big week but honestly I feel confident with my wig & my shaved head!  

Today was also a big day as all the kids went back to school!  Ashlyn started highschool...seriously?  She had a great first day and continues to just amaze me with her bravery in all of this!  Taylor started her 7th grade year and loved it!  She figured out when lunch was which was a big concern!  She is my tender hearted girl and tells me how pretty I am with no hair!  Luke started 3rd grade and the boy just loves school!!  He has an amazing Christian teacher and I am so thankful for her!  He was excited to have homework!  He loves to rub my head and snuggle up with me!
Andy has been my rock!  With all he has going on he worries about me all the time and is so caring! He allows me to yell, cry, get mad, cry some more and manages to make me laugh in all of it too!  I have an amazing family!  I know this has been completely overwhelming on my parents but they have been there for us every step!  My brother & his family, Andy's family and all of our extended family...I am blessed!!  I've also been blessed with amazing friends, church family, my softball team, my Meyer Real Estate family and so many other people who have encouraged me every step of the way!!

Thank you all so much for everything!!  God has this & because of Him I am able to fight this!!!

    You look amazing with or without hair! Praying as you have to go through some of those rough spots during chemo. Remember, you have so many people you can call if you need something! I'm amazed at your strength! Love you all!
