From Holly's blog - After completing radiation treatments last month I
am considered in remission. I just want our kids to be as unaffected by cancer
as possible so I just try to put on a smile (and my crazy big hats) and try to
do everything I can for my kids, even though most days I “crash” (as Corey calls
it) by the end of the day. I don’t think I will ever get past that since I enjoy
helping and staying busy, but I have promised Corey to do better at learning my
limits so that I can give more to my family at the end of the day (Corey now you
have it in writing). I am just now getting to the place of accepting the hand
that I have been dealt.
It has taken awhile to accept that this is God's path for me; and to realize, no
matter what the circumstances, things do happen for a reason. I also have to
give credit to our incredible support system. We have the most amazing friends
and family! Our parents have been essential. Our friends and church family have
been incredible as well in so many ways. They have helped us with prayers and so
much needed moral support; and bringing us food which has been so appreciated
especially when Corey is busy and I am exhausted it is just the best thing!
As for the fun stuff we love the outdoors and camping (hence the tee pee in our
back yard) and playing board games with the kids (involving a 4 year old in
Scrabble is a challenge, but fun). Our kids are involved in 4-H, Sports, Camps
and, of course, so are we. Corey and I volunteer with our daughters schools,
church, Red Cross, and at Camp Tecumseh. We know that without volunteers our
community would not have nearly as many opportunities as it does.
I have not been working outside my home because of the treatments and my
Fibromyalgia. I was recently also diagnosed with Myofascial pain syndrome. The
Doctor's have told me that I am in the high risk category for the cancer coming
back and with not feeling great, going back to work at a traditional job is just
not a good option right now. May God Bless you and your families, I look forward
to meeting everyone that God puts in our paths.
