Update since Thanksgiving

Seth writing

Sorry for the time between blogs, but life has been very busy.

I am back to work, I worked a few days last week but am working a full week this week. Last Friday and Saturday went relatively well-just trying to stay up on the house, entertain the kids and help Meg get as much rest as possible. Meg was very tired those two days coming off the Wednesday-Thursday chemo and Thanksgiving. Sunday was great for us as we were able to get to church as a family (it was nice to be back). Thanks for all the encouragement and prayer. Monday I went to work during the day and Meg's mom came over to help with the kid's for the day. Starting Monday Annabelle has started to really fight taking naps which adds challenge to Meg's day. Tuesday my sister Jillia was helpful in coming over and helping with the kids. Meg was also able to rest alone a few hours Tuesday night and I was able to play dodgeball with my work team as the Suhy's watched the kids (thanks Dani and Jeremy). Wednesday Sarah Holwerda helped out with the kids and my mom helped get Meg to chemo, stayed with her and drove her back home after. This week was the first time she had her outpatient chemo-it took place at the Lemmen Holton Cancer Center-Meg says it is a beautiful facility. Thursday (today), Annabelle was taken to daycare (a day Meg use to teach) but Talin was not able to go as he was spiking a high temperature. Meg and her mom took Talin to the doctors and he was found to have a double ear infection. He is on meds, but there is talk of having to put tubes in his ears.

Update on Meg
-still continues to be very tired and not full of energy
-starting to lose hair at a faster rate
-has more of an appetite lately
-night after chemo is been very tough on her physically and emotionally
-continues to be thankful for all the help, prayers and encouragement
