focus

Once again, Pat has amazed us.  This past week, she has shown grace, confidence and that soft, yet fierce power she tucks away in that tiny frame of hers...:)

She handled her first round of chemo 'like a boss', accepting and tackling the annoying symptoms with grace and humor. She has flexed her 'Pat muscles' in ensuring she has a hospital room that meets her needs and keeps her safe from that icky flu virus lurking about in the hospital. In true Pat form, she is doing mini-marathon laps around as many flu-free areas of the hospital. And, most importantly, she has embraced the positive power coming her way from literally hundreds of friends and family, in moving forward on her journey.

In the next week, she will once again muster up all the strength and grace needed to take on her second round of chemotherapy. She is busying herself by reading up on the process again, satisfying a few little food cravings, and preparing herself mentally for the treatment which will take place some time next week. 

She knows that as she enters into this next round of chemo, she will need to really take care of herself, really make sure she stays as healthy and stress-free as possible. This sweet little 'social butterfly' knows that she will need to temporarily curb her flitting about (socializing!) in order to truly focus on staying strong. As always, however, mom will continue to check her purple iPhone when she can, excited to see her little messages of encouragement and love.

Keep 'em coming people ;).
