Spring Forward!

It's that time of year for daylight savings! It's also the time for Melissa to get ready for round 4 of chemo!

Melissa has had a good week. She completed report cards, presented with her small group for her graduate class, and had a fun chemo-free weekend!

Riana, college roomate, sorority sister, and good friend flew in from Wyoming to spend the weekend with her. The girls met for lunch with some of their sorority sisters.

Melissa napped each day. Riana had no problem snuggling up on the other couch and napping too! After resting, Melissa was able to enjoy the evening out with friends.

Chemo-free weekends are a blessing! It gives Melissa an opportunity to feel "normal" and have fun with friends.

Thank you for your prayers and support as we "spring forward" to her next treatment session. As Melissa travels onward, she also moves closer to remission of Hodgkins lymphoma. This is the path that all of us are following with her. We continue to appreciate your positive encouragement and caring thoughts that you send her way. Thank you so very much!

  1. Keep up the good work and positive thoughts!! It was so nice to see you guys yesterday!! :) Melissa, you look beautiful and I'm so happy to hear that the treatments are treating you "okay".... Please let me know if I can do anything!! If you need a retail therapy buddy, I'm ALWAYS up for that ;) Hehe. Also, right after I saw you guys, I went into Dillards, and they have a TON of headbands with flowers and all sorts of decorations... Just in case you would like to find a few more... They are adorable!!
