4 Down 2 to go

I've been visiting with Debbie, Michael and the boys for the past few days and even though the chemo seems to be giving me a tough time I've loved being here.  It's amazing how good I feel when I'm hugged by Benjamin, who's not that much shorter than me at this point, and when Joshua pats my bald head with his little hand and then kisses it.  What a feeling!
I'm still processing the news from the pet scan and digesting everything that's happened over the past 3 1/2 months and I have to say that I couldn't have done this without all the love and support I've received from everybody.  The kindness and generosity is overwhelming and I don't have the words to express how grateful I feel to have such wonderful friends and family.
I want to wish everyone an early HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY especially my Mom who's love and support has been unwavering.  I love you very much Mom!

Dear Shellbear,

So glad to hear your great news.
Sounds like that "FISH" is really
helping you kick butt. Happy to hear that you are getting out. I
loved the tin mans performance. What a cutie!! Please call if you are up to a pro. And if you are a good girl you can get some goodies.
Take to you later.

Luv Lee

Dear Shelly What a wonderful blog entry, Sorry for the chemo side discomfort, just let it do its work and get beyond and all this will fade away as a bad memory, while your thick hair grows back better than ever. You are 100% correct about your mother, she is and has been terrfic...but you have given all of us the greatest Mother's Day we could all have wanted and dreamed and prayed for. I want he same for Uncle'Day aka Father's Day 2008 thru 2058, I wont be here but I'll be looking down or up making sure you are!!!love Uncle Ernie. P.S. took Sal and Jill and 4 kinder out to a lovely brunch..It tuned yery chilly and gray and has been raining all day
