7 down 5 to go

Alyson completed her 7th chemo treatment Monday. She has had a very good week. Her sister, Jen, was in town for a few days and it was awesome to have her here! Thank You Jennifer for all your love and support this week!
We continued to be blessed by all the love and support of friends and family as we journey through this fight. Alyson is so amazing to witness. Her strength and resolve through all of this still blows me away. We feel the prayers from across the country and know that God is present in this time.
Basketball season is well underway as we have completed 3 weeks of practices. We are two weeks away from our first game on October 27th. If you're in the Elgin, IL area we play at 3:00 pm on that Saturday.
Thank you again for all the love, support and prayers.

Halfway through!!!

Monday, Alyson completed her 6th chemo treatment. This marks the halfway point of her treatments. She had a mostly good week, although she did have a bad headache on Wednesday. Overall, she is doing great with the treatments. We are amazed at her body's response to chemo, especially since she has been through this before. Chemotherapy, typically, has a cumulative affect on the body, but Aly seems to be doing great. Her hair is still 95% intact with only a few spots showing some thinning. The cold cap seems to be doing its job. She looks absolutely amazing!
We have some awesome friends in town this weekend from our old neighborhood in Texas. So excited to see them and hang out with them. Then Sunday, Alyson's sister, Jen, comes in for the week to help out at the house. We are looking forward to having Auntie Jen stay with us!
Thank you all for the continued prayers and support. We feel them and appreciate them so very deeply.
