We have just begun a new adventure in our family. Mark's sister, Michelle, has come to live with us for the next couple of months. She has cancer in her trachea and in her thyroid. The best place for her to be treated is, of course, the Hunstman Cancer Center in SLC. Michelle lives in Pocatello with her sweet husband and cute daughter. So, it is very difficult for her to be away from them at this time. So, we are trying to make our home a happy, and peaceful place for her while she lives here. She has one chemo treatment a week, and 5 radiations treatments. So... we trek to SLC every day. We made it through the first week with no trouble at all. She is doing really great. So far, she has had no side effects. We assume that they will begin sometime soon. But, until then, she is feeling really good. We did notice her first bald spot today, though. As disheartening as that was, we found a silver lining in that cloud. We met a nice lady today at Huntsman that had a beautiful head-wrap on. We stopped her and asked her about it. She immediately took it off for us to examine. We were so surprised to see that it was made out of a plain old t-shirt! So, on the way home, we stopped and bought some cheap t-shirts and found some really nice scarves, as well. We had a lot of fun tonight, making them for FHE. Check out all the stiles! (the boys were even good sports about it. She's gonna look really groovy!
