I'm sure we've all had an off week at one time or another, a little stint where nothing seems to go your way. Well, our definition of the term has been flipped upside down. The"off week" is now the week with no chemo treatment, and it comes every other week.
Our first one has been the closest thing to normal life we've experienced in what feels like an age. It was marked by the coming of Sarah's mom Lori, which is a blessing beyond our wildest expectations. We had been praying for help during this period of our lives, and have received it in abundance.
Marek loves his Grandma "Loli", and having her here will provide him safe harbor in some very choppy waters. A huge weight was lifted from Sarah's shoulders as soon as she arrived. She can now relax and concentrate on her healing.
To celebrate the off week I've decided to substitute my words for pictures, so you can all share it with us.
Thank you for all of the love and support,
Dan

Ahhh, I needed that. Great pics too. Thanks for sharing your journey with the world guys. We love you.
Love to be able to SEE you :)
BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm so glad Sarah's mom is there to be able to provide some relief and support :-) There is nothing like a mother's love to make things feel like you are in better hands.
You're never too old to need you mommy :-)
Love you Sara and Dan and Marek!!

Sarah- Your Grandma Abbie told my Dad (great uncle Paul) of your diagnosis. Know that a lot of prayers are coming your way from Iowa. I am so glad your Mom is able to be there with you. Having your Mom there makes all the difference in the world. I know from experience. I am sure Marek loves having her there. He looks so much like your Mom when she was little. When you are going through hell...you have to just keep going. Take good care of yourself and know you are in the thoughts and prayers of many.
Hi to the family! I was glad to see that Lori made it out there. She has always been the type of friend with whom there is no need for small talk. I have always valued her in MY life, and know that you are especially blessed to have her with you right now.
Enjoy the downtime...the roller coaster does NOTHING if not make you grateful for every good day. Know that there are MANY more good days in your future. For our family, the scariest part was not knowing what was going on, so you have that behind you. Best wishes for a good week. Thank God for BLOGS!
With love from La Crosse, Vicki
