Delay

Sorry in the delay of this post.  I am having some sight issues so I have delayed getting on the computer.  I have to zoom the page to be able to read the computer screen.  This decline in my eyesight is due from chemo and its the second time its happened since starting chemo in February. I'm going to the eye doctor today to get a new prescription.
     It's been about two weeks since I seen the doctor.  The plan he says is to do 4 rounds of the drug and then do a scan and then do another 4 rounds .  If the scan shows a need to change the plan then he will do that accordingly.  One round equals 3 weeks.  I never imagined having chemo for an entire year straight. And now that I type that I should say I never planned on having chemo this long either.  Yes I know its a good thing to be able to have it and all but the positive me should have beaten the odds and been done already.  It gets old.
     This week is the end of the fall sports for James and Rachel. Monday starts tryouts for Rachel  for competitive cheer. Emily will finally start her swim clinics on Saturdays. James will get a break for a while. 
     Paul is still teaching his classes.  This week has been busy for him.  He has been helping with the planning of Officer Slot's funeral.  Its overwhelming to see how the police and fire departments come together to help their fellow family members (officers) in a time of need.  Paul did know officer Trevor and I knew his family through Northview High School.
     The weather is changing on us.  Are you ready?  I was hoping for a mild Halloween but I think its going to take more than my hope.  This wind is reminding me of some harsh winters we've had in the past.
     If you see Paul in the coming days.....wish him a happy 50th.... Oct 24th.
Thank you to all of you  that have brought a nice warm meal over.  On my bad days which are less than previous treatments they have been very helpful. Thank you to all that have prayed, and thought of us too.
Next treatment and Dr visit is next Thursday. 
Happy Halloween if I don't post before then.
Peace
Kelly
