My two weeks of chemotherapy took place January 22 to February 04. I am now off of my chemo drugs because my blood levels are too low. I spoke to my doctor at the end of February regarding my deteriorating mental and physical abilities. I now will be having an MRI at the beginning of March to determine what my next step will be.

The first week our son Ryan, daughter-in-law Missy, and our grandchildren Finn and Molly stayed with us. The second week our niece, Stephanie, her husband Mark and their two month old daughter came to stay. The weather was great!

We frequented the many beach restaurants in the evenings, enjoyed a few drinks, and basically just enjoyed family
