Week 3 and 4

I'm a little behind in updating how Alyson has been doing.
Week 3
The week went well for treatment #3. Wednesday was once again a little rough for Alyson as she had another bad headache. The best part of the week was having one of our best friends in town. Kindra Reed came in on a sort of "surprise" visit to help out for a few days. Kindra was a Godsend as her presence lifted all of our spirits. It was great seeing an awesome friend sacrifice time away from her family to come take care of ours. So a big shout out to Kindra D for hanging out with the Thrifts. You were helpful more than you know or feel.
Week 4
Treatment 4 went well and actually Wednesday was a tolerable day for Alyson as she only had a slight headache which was able to be controlled by some Advil. It was a low key week for us overall.
As we approach treatment 5, Alyson's hair seems to be staying mainly intact with the use of the "cold cap". We hope this trend continues as she progresses through her remaining treatments. IF the cold cap is still working, these next few weeks will really tell us how well it has been working. For now, though, she seems to be keeping hold of her hair.
My mom is in town this week to help out with the boys and our treatment schedule. Good food to follow!!!!
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support!
Treatment 5 to follow tomorrow...

I had a wonderful visit with you guys. Brooks & Brock are the sweetest boys ever..I love them dearly.
