It has been a little bit since I have updated I guess it is about time to share the highlights of our life!! Ammy is doing really well. She is still going through Chemo but continues to be very healthy. The only school she really misses out on is the days she has chemo. I finally got a hold of the make a wish foundation and we have started that process. They need an ok from her onchologist, who is the person who told us we should really get going with the process so i am sure she will be approved. Next job to tackle is getting her a new wig. Sadly her hair has finally hit the point where it is so thin it is looking a little patchy and really needs to be shaved. We had lots of tears talking about this reality tonight. She said that she wanted me to be the one to do it for her. We may have a video of it for you if she is ok with sharing. She wants to submit a video to the bic4good campaign to help earn money for make a wish.
Steve and I are also doing well. I am almost done with this term of school, and then have one more term until i take some time off. I am looking for a part time job to help with the income a little and get out of the house. We'll see how that works having a little one with the medical things she does. Steve is still hanging on at Winco, but it is definately a challenge. He is getting about 80 hours a month which is hard on the finances, and not having a set schedule can be really stressful for the family. He and I are also getting ready to undergo gastric bypass surgery this summer which means that we definately need him to stay at winco even if money is not so great because he gets really amazing benefits. We are praying that things will fall into place soon and we will be able to pay all of the bills!
