...onward to Christmas - posted by Pierre

It's been over a week since we last posted so I thought I would give an update. Laura has been doing well since her chemo last Tuesday (Dec 12) but of course gets tired easily. They sent her home with three more injections to give herself (this past Sun-Mon-Tues) to boost her immune system. This should do her well for the Christmas holidays and keep her healthy until her next chemo on Dec. 28. We are so thankful for the chemo getting pushed back so she can spend Christmas in relative good health. We are looking forward to the break as I actually get real holidays this year (until Jan.2).

We will be in Moose Jaw starting tonight (Friday) visiting with my folks and my brother Louis and family (from Saskatoon). Their five kids and our four have a blast together so they are quite excited, and Louis and I can help with the tree farm.

Then we return to Regina boxing day to visit with Laura's parents and her brother Kevin and family (from Lacombe). Another reason for our kidlets to get pumped as their three kids are right at the same age. Needless to say, the kids will have lots of fun together!

Laura and I thank you all again for the thoughts, messages, prayers, and gifts. We pray you have a blessed Christmas and New Year. Hopefully we will see some of you over the holidays. You will all be in our prayers at this special time.
