Sarah had her last Portland chemotherapy treatment on January 18th. She has only one more to go, here in Corvallis, on January 25th, then she is DONE!
Due to the ice and snow that hit Oregon on Jan 16th, her original appointment had to be re-scheduled. Her Dad had the insensitivity to schedule it on Jan. 18th, her 14th birthday. But, we tried to make the best of it. She was able to take a friend along. The staff brought her a cake, and many of the nurses and doctors sang Happy Birthday to her. Then, we took her out for dinner on the way home. While we were gone, her 4H buddies (and their parents) decorated the house entryway and mailbox with streamers, glitter, balloons and bows, and also left a stack of cards. Lastly, her brothers and sisters decorated inside the house, so it was a nice homecoming.
I will let Jeanne give you a more extensive review of the past few weeks in another blog post later. In the meantime, thank you all again and again for everything!
