Megan

The cavalry has arrived. My sister Megan came in on Friday and will be here until Wednesday. I am so glad on so many levels that she is here. She is such a great friend, sister and aunt. I thoroughly enjoy every second we spend together. As most of you know, she & I are twins except we were born 15 months apart.

I am so tired. I have been fatigued to the point of tunnel vision on a couple occassions. It is scary. I do not know what is going on with my body other than just the toxic affects of the chemos piling up. I will ask the doctors about it on Tuesday.

In the meantime, I am getting daily laughter medicine with Megan here. The best yet was laying on the couch watching her first attempt at Wii Fit hula hoops. I was laughing so hard...my whole body was in pain, unable to breath, tears pouring down my face....and just the thought that these days laughing could hurt so much made me laugh that much harder. I thought we were going to have to call 911.

Hi Maureen...I am so glad Megan is here. You are so blessed to have such wonderful family. You all love each other so much.

I will be praying for you during your chemo tomorrow. Strong dogs.

Much Love, Janet

Maureen -
I've been catching up tonight on all of your blog and am just so touched by the richness and depth of all your friends, family, you and the kids. I'm so happy you are enjoying your sister - what a gift. I love the photo of OD on the counter - what can you do????! Your vacation looked wonderful, sparkly and sweet. I'm glad you all went. Lily and I send our love - Nancy

Hi Mimi,

I'm just now seeing your blog entry from Sunday and laughing at the thought of Megan and the hula-hooping! Have her tell you about my first time Wii-ing at her house - probably not as funny as her story, but a good one nonethelss.

Sending my love and continued prayer for strength and healing.

Love you,

Molly
