Home

We’ve been home for 2 days now and I just can’t get over how good it feels to be here! I love seeing my boys, I love being here when Caleb gets off the bus, I love driving Gunner to preschool and I actually love the little daily chores that I disliked so much before. In fact, as I was driving Gunner to preschool this morning, I looked back at the smudges on the windows and just thought to myself how grateful I was just to be a Mom to my kids and enjoy these moments with them while they are little. Never really thought I’d say it, but the smudges made me smile. ☺
As for Breezy girl, she’s doing well here at home. She’s been super happy, very chatty and very full of energy. Even though she’s still kind-of scared of real food, she’s been doing well with her nightly feedings and that has helped her feel better, I’m sure. She doesn’t like to eat much baby food because every time a spoon comes near her, she thinks its medicine so doesn’t want to eat. In fact, this is the face she makes when a spoon or syringe is coming toward her: She purses her lips together and wont open her mouth! Little stinker. (This picture was taken a few weeks ago (before the tube obviously) ☺

Anyway, today was a good but long and tedious day so I thought I’d list a few things I did that I can say I’m proud of. I know this is kind-of random, but hey, it’s always fun to think about the actual things you did instead of the things that you didn’t do. ☺
• Took Gunner to preschool & chatted with a friend in my doorway
• Gave my husband a big hug for all the multiple things he does (love you babe!)
• Took flowers to a friend that was sick
• Played outside on the grass and crunched leaves with my kids
• Killed a spider with Gunner
• Gave my baby a shot, (I’m not really proud of this, but feel accomplished when I can do it by myself each time)
• Watched my boys do tricks on the trampoline
• Flushed Bree’s broviac line with saline and heparin
* Cuddled with Caleb on the couch
• Listened to Bree's little tummy sounds to make sure her feeding tube is in the right spot
• Organized books/clothes/toys to donate to goodwill (still in the process)
• Read books to my boys while Bree slobbered on them
• Chatted with my sis-in-law and felt so grateful that I have such great sisters in law. (She also cleaned my bathroom and my kitchen. She is amazing!)

So, here are some of our latest and greatest pictures of our little miss Bree during this last round of chemotherapy.
My sister brought cupcakes to the hospital. Bree DID like these!
She pulverized hers in a matter of seconds! I hope some of it got in her mouth!
Here she is displaying her talents. Ah, bald heads are good for something right! Ha ha!

Right now we are hoping, fasting and praying that our little girl won't have to go through any more chemo. The doctors have told us that she will need 8 rounds of chemo and they hope that after the 8th round that they will finish off the cancer with radiation, surgery or maybe just leave it in her if the tumor is totally dead. They say that perhaps the 8th round will take care of the tumor without other treatments but they thought most likely it wouldn't. She currently has had 4 rounds and will get all her tests done at the end of the month to see where things are at. We figured we would pray and fast that she surpises everybody and that the tumor will be gone now. We know the Lord's will be done but we can't get a miracle if we don't ask for one right:). Thank you for the continued support and outpouring of love for our little Breezy! You are all so great!
