Chemo, Church, Chicken & Candy




Halloween 2007!! Our day started out with Brian having his 2nd Chemo treatment. After talking to the doctor it sounds like he will only have to do 6 rounds of treatment, so he is 1/3 done already!! Next treatment will be Novemeber 21. He did really good through the treatment (as you can see in the photo he worked through the whole thing), however by the end of the night he was out like a light. I took a photo of one the chemo drugs...Rituxan. I can't believe the bags says "TOXIC....Dispose of as Bio-Hazard!!!". Scary stuff they use to cure cancer, huh??


We later attended the PSR Mass for All Saint's Day where Ali helped serve and Beau and Ben helped take up gifts. Gabe thought it was neat cause Sr. Alicia let the kids wear their costumes to church so they could go trick or treating right after.


After mass the kids went trick or treating and got bags, yes bags full of candy!! See photo of their stash. Can you believe I did not get photos of the boys in costume? Beau went as a Pepsi driver (complete with cart), Ben was the Karate Kid and Gabe was the red Power Ranger.


The night ended with my dad bringing us dinner....Niemerg's chicken. It's nice he does that for us once in a while. It sure does help me out, especially on crazy days like yesterday.
FYI....if you click on the photo(s) it will enlarge them so you can see things more!!!
