Oh Happy Day!

YIPEE... WAAHOO....HOORAY.... AHH.... HALLELUYAH...LOVELY....

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.    - Unknown


Today was a great day!  Nothing could change that!  Bob took me to the hospital this morning at 9:30 before he headed out on the road to scout.  The girls were there shortly after 10:00 am just as I was heading in to Benedryl-induced coma :)  At exactly 11:31 am, it was over and I was walking....ok, almost running out of there! It was an awesome feeling....like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders knowing that we survived 16 chemo sessions over the past 5 months! Wow! So we had a mini-lunch celebration at Earl's today....life is good! The chemo staff are incredible!So are the volunteers!

 Next blog update will be October 15, 2012 after my medical review.  I have a couple of weeks to recover and regroup before I find out what my next phase is....regardless, today is an "oh happy day!" 

Love to all, Shelley xoxo

P.S. Here are today's highlights.....
