Thursday October 30th. That is the next big date for us. Becca will have reconstruction done on her breast. All looks really good and the plastic surgeon has high hopes for a very nice outcome. The other breast augmentation to match the reconstructed one won't happen until next year after the other one heals and settles into the shape it will be. If that makes sense lol. Since chemo has been over there really hasn't been much to tell you all. Becca's hair is coming in more and more and her eyebrows are finally there. She's more platinum now than blonde but I think it looks great. It will be interesting to see what it looks like after it grows out.
I thought I'd catch you up on the financial aspect of this year. Yes it's taken it's toll and as long as the hospitals are willing to except payments then all will be fine in about 10 years lol. In all seriousness though I wanted to thank everyone who has helped. We really do have a lot of wonderful people in our lives and we can't wait to be able to pay it forward and help others. The turn out for the Brat Pit was wonderful however profits were lower than expected. I believe that was because of the last days derby format but I won't get into that. Still the proceeds will make a dent and we are very grateful!
I bring this up because it is the last time I am. We will leave the fundraiser going and see what happens but I had a hard enough time starting it and now it seems to have stalled and that's OK! Right now we are looking forward to the future and next summer when Becca will be healed, looking and feeling good. We are getting on with life, making plans, you know, normal stuff. I know there will be long periods of no posts but I promise anything of note I will be on here writing to let you all know.
Who knows, I may just keep this going. Letting anyone who wishes to peek into our lives in on what's going on. Xander started high school so I'm sure I'll have tons of stories to tell you over the next 4 years.
I think that in the end it's those whose lives you have touched that defines who you are and what you have accomplished in he short time we have here. All of you have touched our lives. No matter how small or how large of a way we thank you. And we look forward to continuing to define who we are by helping others. Take care of yourselves and those around you. Cherish the time you have and make the most of it. Till next time...
