Hi Friends and Family,
December is such a crazy month. It seems as if it is non-stop activity. Finally things have slowed down and I have found some time to update the blog.
Things went well after the first infusion of the new chemo. Nothing unexpected or new as far as side-effects. I guess the only difference I have noticed it a little more nausea and vomiting than before. But I get a longer break in between infusions. That means more days of feeling good or at least normal. I had the second infusion on New Years Eve. I had the same 5 or 6 days of bad nausea. But after that it's back to normal. It's great to have more days to feel good.
The kids all had school performances for Christmas. They all did great. Trinity earlier in December broke her arm at her cousin Mikayla's 5th birthday party. They had it at a bouncy house called Scooters Jungle. It's a great place and so much fun. She fell off a zip line and did a green stick break on her upper right humorous. The did not cast it, they just had her wear a sling. It's pretty much better now. The Dr. said to wear the sling to school for just two more weeks until the area is stronger and less likely to be re-injured.
We did Christmas with My mom the Saturday before Christmas. The girls got American Girl dolls from their NaNa. They were so excited about that. Trinity said "It's a dream come true!" She said "I want to keep her when I'm old even, when I'm a Teenager, when I'm a Grandma...even when I'm in that box in the ground. Will you have them put her on my stomach?" Yeah...kids say the darndest things. We did Christmas day dinner with my Dad and my Stepmom. Then the next morning we woke up at 4 am and headed to AZ to do Christmas with the Wolf Pack. All 7 kids were there with all there kids. There were 32 in all and even a few new boyfriends & a girlfriend to meet. It was great to feel good for this visit.
I spent last Saturday in the ER most of the day. I only needed to have my blood checked. But since it was a Saturday I had to go to the ER. I had a rash that could have been a sign of low platelets. But after the 5 hour visit they deemed A-ok. Better safe the sorry they said.
Now I have until the 20th of this month before my next infusion. I have more than a week of feeling good! After this one they will scan be before I do another. They said I only need a CT scan. I don't have to do the radioactive PET scan. I can't be around my kids for 4 hours after that one. Pray with me that the tumors are shrinking and disappearing!! Praying for healing in His time for His glory!!
Love to all and have a blessed New Year!! Peggy

Happy New Year to the Wolf Family!
Sounds like you could all use some wind-down time from the holidays. We never have more than the eleven of us, and it still gets crazy. Big families are a God-send. So even with all the hustle and bustle, I know you and yours have some great memories!
Doesn't waiting for tests and scans just drive you crazy? The waiting is so hard. I'm happy you will not need the nuclear scan this next time. That is another blessing in itself.
As always am praying for you and your family. God's will in your life, but praying that His will is for you to be around a long, long time.
Love ya lady!

I hate PET scans!!
But anyway, I pray for you all the time but today I have been thinking of you all day because my sternum hurts so bad...rhuemetoid (that's all I'm gonna say because it is NOT welcome back)...but it feels like it has been broken in half and pain meds haven't worked. When this would happen in the past it would last 24 hrs then go away and move to a different body part but its been 24hrs and is only spreading and getting worse and I have a cough so it makes it even more excrutiating...ANYWAY, I am telling you this because God has reminded me of your strength. He has used you today to remind me of how much strength He has given you. I thank you for being my godly example today of faith.
This too shall pass!
I love you!
