Wednesday, November 10th we were cruising along, still praying and uncertain of what the future held but getting in a more comfortable routine. Mimi and aunt Stacy had been helping us for weeks and we finally struck a balance of what we needed/wanted, when they cooked home cooking to bring to house since the smells… Continue reading Worst Wednesday Ever = First Ambulance Ride
We were thankful to get to celebrate with Mimi for her birthday this year. She went to have breakfast with Al, her house was cleaned, and then she headed to Vestavia. We chilled out at the house a little bit. Mimi delivered the little table we had made for next to Chris’s chair. Stacy, Mimi,… Continue reading Mimi’s 67th Brithday
Friday, November 5th, we had an appointment with a nurse practitioner and Chris’s 3rd infusion. It was a rough morning with high pain. They are changing up the pain medication to try to help manage it better since there has been several days with higher pain recently. We also requested them to push some anti-nausea… Continue reading Infusion # 3
Halloween 2021 fell on a Sunday this year. There were more people out and had more excitement on the street than 2020 yet at the same time it did not feel as festive internally. This year our house decorations outside were more Halloween-ish thanks to the girls great job decorating, the girls costumes were fantastic,… Continue reading Halloween 2021
Sunday following Chris’s second infusion was a home day after the Comfort girls being out Saturday. Daddy seems to have less energy following his second treatment than the first one. Hoping he gets the surge of pain free again like he did after the first treatment. Monday Ivy had Girl Scout. They made a TP… Continue reading Week following infusion 2: Family Dinners, Friends, Trunk-or-treat, Pumpkin Carving, Requena-Comfort visit
Mimi brought the girls home early Saturday since Leia had her friend’s birthday party at Brushes and Boards. It was a fun party! Leia made a movie treat box, stained it, and stenciled it. Lisa and Ivy picked her up from the party to head to the lake to meet up with the Sipes’ for… Continue reading Super Saturday Smith Lake Trick-or-Treat
Chris headed to the hospital for his second infusion. Praying the infusion triggers his body to start fighting the cancer and God heals him from this disease. Blessed to be by his side and fight with him. He wore the bracelets Leia and Ivy made him to wear and Lisa wore her’s too. They are… Continue reading Chris’s 2nd Infusion
Lisa finally felt good enough to walk and stand to watch the girlies ride again so was able to take them to horses. It was fun watching the girlies do what they love, getting pictures, and enjoy sweet time with them. Thankful for the sweet time, getting to watch them do something they love.
We had planned to go on Ivy’s 10th birthday trip this break but cancelled our plans due to cancer treatment and being advised not to fly. We tried to talk Chris into us driving to the beach which is closer but he declined and told us it could be a girls trip. Of course, we… Continue reading October 2021 Break
Lisa had dreaded the Thursday appointment knowing that if they opted to do a compartmental test it meant multiple needle sticks. She may have been worse than a kid when it comes to a needle and get terrible white coat syndrome thinking about it. At one time she debated simply canceling her appointment but Mimi… Continue reading Thursday Leg News
