December 10,2007

Hi,

Well chemo has been going well. I am finally getting some of my energy back. Darren, Junell and I have been spending a lot of time together. She is such a card! She has lear'nt how to kiss. So now she is kissing everything and me at least 10 times a day! She knows just what the doctor ordered. It must have been her 1st haircut grandma Hendriks gave her! Her free spirit sure is shinning.

Darren's mom has been great. She has been spending lots of time over here when I have appointments and such. Its a great help to all of us and gives my family a well deserved break. I am ever so grateful. Thank You Julliann!

This weekend Darren & I put up some Christmas decorations and a tree. It sure has put me in the Christmas spirit. My friend Janice and I are going shopping tomorrow and on Wensday my friend Bonnie is taking me to Costco. I should have my shopping all done. They must be real true pals to cart me all over with my fancy yellow mask. Ha Ha! By Thursday I will be all ready for Christmas!

I had my CT scan today. I won't have the results till Wensday when I see the onocologist. I have a review and they will be checking my blood. I am hopping and praying that all goes well. My sister Kelly and her boyfeind Terry will be comming from Yorkton on Saturday. They will be here for my chemo on Monday.

Well I must sign off! Darren started work today back at Sterling Truck & Trailer! I want to spend some time with him and Junell before bed!

Take Care!
Love You All!

Hi, Donna,
It has been a number of years since we have last seen or talked to one another. After looking at your pictures of you and your family, you haven't changed at all.... I can still hear your awesome laugh when I see you face. The nickname "Jag" brought back many memories for me.

Well, your positive attitude and determination to beat the horrible disease, is an inspiration to me. You are amazing! You keep up the positive attitude!

I wish I could be there on Dec. 28 to visit with you and your family. But my stepdaughter is with us until the 29th, and she needs to be back in Calgary around this time... etc..etc...
Jamie and Jennifer and families are planning on attending.

Jenn talks about Brenda and her children often, because my nephew plays hockey with your nephew. How cool is that! I don't feel that old..:)

Anyway, you are in my thoughts and prayers and I wanted to let you know I am thinking about you all the time. Keep strong and keep smiling...

Take care!
