Just another step on the long path

I apologize for not blogging in a really long time. I have been extremely busy between hospital visits and wrapping up my hockey season.

Last time a blogged was the night before my last radiation. I have not had to do anymore treatments since then. We are waiting for me to do this MRI to determine if i need more treatment or not.

It was fun on the last day of treatment the nurses had this cake and sang a song I had alot of fun with it. It was awesome to smile and think hopefully I am done with everything.

During my long break (still going on) I decided to try and finish up my hockey season. I practiced with them pretty hard and unfortunatley we fell just short in our first game of playoffs knocking us out. I did play a few shifts but obviously wasn't completely back.

The past week or so I haven't been feeling good at all. Last week I spent the week in infusion at childrens getting IV fluids. I have had no energy at all and have been feeling extremely loopy.

February 24th, was my birthday so that was fun. This past Friday we had a small get together of family friends and a few of my own hockey friends. To my surprise I my mom arranged Ian laperriere to come to this party and make it over the top amazing. I truly enjoyed this and it was awesome to end the week like this. It even made 9 news!!\

Truly was amazing. Lappy is an amazing leader and I truly look up to him in all aspects.

My next big event is a cancer ski trip up in Aspen. About 20-25 kids with cancer from around the country are going to be going and I am really looking forward to this. I am especially looking forward to hopefully feeling well enough to learn how to snowboard for a week!

Thats all for now. I am hoping to at least blog at the end of the ski trip letting everyone know how great it was!


Thanks for all your support and prayers!

Will blog again soon!!
