Today was it. The last chemo treatment, God willing. Six months, and yet it seems a lot longer.
What a good feeling today was. Overall, her treatment went well. She didn't see the doctor today as he was on vacation, but she will see him on the first...which will officially end the cycle. Tomorrow she gets the Neulasta shot for her white blood cells. She also got a red blood cell shot today. She'll have to keep going back every week to make sure her blood cells are at the right levels and will have to keep getting shots until they are. Hopefully that won't take too long.
The nurses we really great today. They congratulated her and gave her a graduation certificate signed with all there names... now that she has graduated from chemotherapy. There were some really special people there. We are so thankful this day has come, and at the same time, thought it never would.
Now we all wonder...How long will it take for her hair to grow back and is to going to be curly or straight??? Thick or thin... Right now its black and baby soft.
Psalm 100 - Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God...For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Welcome
You are here because you have been asked to pray for Melanie. We are truly thankful that you have and will continue to pray for her throughout her illness. We would have a very hard time making it through the day without your prayers.
Melanie is 25 years old, the wife of Aaron, mother of Catie (6) and Jake (3), step-mother of Kaylie (7), and was 31 weeks pregnant when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma. She is also, my eldest daughter, my firstborn, whom I love.
HoMoleyCow comes from Jake putting his two favorite phrases together: Holy Moley and Holy Cow. He's 3 years old and a joy every minute. Every time he says it, it makes us smile and that is what we need the most right now.
We plan to provide frequent updates on Melanie's progress so check back often or subscribe to one on the "readers". A sincere thank you for your prayers and support. May God bless each and everyone of you.
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
