Eggtra Special Weekend

We had a very nice weekend with family after a week of healing from the last chemo treatment. To re-cap the week, the entire last week was hard on Carol up through Tuesday and then she re-emerged into the family life.
We had a wonderfull St. Patrick's Day dinner thanks to Barb B.!!! I just love Corned Beef and Cabbage! The Soda Bread added an extra special touch for both of us. Carol is Irish, and it's obvious if you know me... that Celtic blood is in me as well.
From Wednesday till now she's been growing stronger each day. I had a business trip Wednesday night and thanks to her Mom, who stayed with her I was able to make it ~ Thanks Mom!
Carol's sister and her family made it into town for a wonderful celebration with all her family, and most of mine. We're still stoked up on sugar from all the Easter candy and it's bed-time now :-)
Next treatment is this coming Friday with the new course of drugs on the menu. Until then, we're just focusing on her gaining strength, and helping her get back into the fold of things.
Thanks everyone for the grocery shopping, meals, cards, and nice comments. Thanks Mrs. Easter Bunny (Kim) for the wonderful baskets of treats... the girls were just in awe! Thanks Tom and Betsy for the nice Easter dresses the girls were sporting today... they were mighty proud and grateful for such wonderful outfits.
Blessings to all, be well, and good night - Eric
