Hi To all and Happy New Year!
Thank you Kelly & Terry for helping out last week! Chemo was a bit rougher than the first one. Friday night I finally started to perk up. I thanked god for Kelly & Terry for being here for the whole week. It hit me pretty hard! I was glad I was able to get better before Christmas.
I hope you all had a great Christmas! We were at the farm for Christmas. Darren's dad was in the hospital in Davidson and was not strong enough to come to the farm so on Christmas day we all took our turns to go visit him. He sure perked up when he saw the grandchildren. He seems to be getting better. Hopefully he will be able to go home soon. Grandma Sorotski forgot to tell me that the kids put out there stockings. Junell didn't have one so after midnight mass grandma found a Christmas tea towel and sewed he one up.
Darren drove baby and I to Humboldt on the 26th. Grandma & Grandpa and the rest of the family were so happy to see us. Junell was tickled pink with all her new toys she got for Christmas a table & chair set, a doll, a real loud organ, a sleeping bag, a tricycle, farm play set, pj's, slippers, scarf & money.
The benefit steak night went awesome. Thank you so much to all of you who contributed. It will sure help out a lot. We will be using it for childcare, cleaning lady & whatever extra costs pertaining to my sickness. If the best doctors program needs us to go somewhere for better care at least we have a financial start. We are totally overwhelmed by all the support & prayers. Thank you all you have no idea how much you have made a difference. A big thanks to my sisters for spearheading the whole thing they put a lot of work into it. I love you all! I tried to personally Thank everyone but there are to many of you. So Thank You! I believe you are all angels that God sent from above. Keep up the prayers I know they are working!
Darren and I came back to the city last night. We went out for our with anniversary supper gift certificate from a year & a half ago and came home and watched Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. He had to work today and I had some catching up to do before my next treatment on Monday. Junell stayed with grandma and grandpa Hendriks and her aunties are taking her out socializing. She has a better social life than me and is probably getting spoiled rotten! We are going back to Humboldt tonite for New Years with my family.
Thank You! Happy New Year!
Love Donna, Darren & Junell
