Just a quick update on Alyson's progress. She completed her chemotherapy on Nov. 12. She did remarkably well. The cold cap did its job and helped her to keep her hair. It did thin out, but you would never know it unless you asked her. I think keeping her hair has helped her spirits during all of her treatments. We now are ready for her mastectomy....by the way, her surgery is tomorrow (12/12). She will go into the operating room at 8:30 am and will have to stay in the hospital overnight. She will likely be very limited in her activity for a solid 2-3 weeks. She will have 3-4 drain tubes for that time, so she will not be able to drive or lift anything until the drain tubes are removed and she has had adequate time to heal from the operation.
God has been present through all of this and we have felt the many prayers from our family and friends across the country. We love you all and you are all appreciated beyond what can be expressed in words. Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. We are looking forward to a relaxing Christmas season and we are thankful for what the Lord will do in the next months as Alyson recovers. I will update everyone post surgery.
