Exhaustion

Wow!!!! that's about all i can say for this last week....we went from the previous weekend with Marshall not doing well at all, to a spend the night at the Chemo Inn, to him recouping, life moving on, me working, me saying i will work for a coworker on saturday for her, to rushing home to get ready for the Preds game and Marshall's Puck drop, to the game being a blur, not getting home til 11 pm, to Sunday, Mass, watching Colin's baseball game, getting home, painting the basement (Marshall's man cave) and today we have clinic to get Marshall's counts for Chemo #10 on wednesday, then tonight we go to BF Myers Furniture to pick out Broyhill furniture for his man cave.  It's a plublicity thing...Marshall had to turn in an application (well, our wish granter did that...thought he was perfect for it and they did pick him-he gets to pick out his furniture....I'm hopen there's black broyhill furniture out there....LOL) and there may be some cameras and a paper there...no clue if it's broyhill's or what......man!!! i need a makeup girl to follow me around right now....should be done after tonight....at the preds game....since i worked i just really touched up my makeup....didn't really think of all the pics that were gonna be taken....LOL!!!!!  oh well, i guess you can say ...... hmmmm let me think about that.

Hockey Fights Cancer Night....

where to start?  like i said above....it was a blur!!!! i really didn't watch much of the game...missed most of the things marshall did.......being in the stands when Marshall came out to drop the puck......everyone stood up...and the cheers and the volume....i am getting the chills all over again.....i cried.......you could barely here Marshall's story it was so loud!!!!!  Catherine was sitting next to me and all of a sudden i heard a sob...then saw shoulders bounce....i held her...she was balling!!!!!  bless her heart....you just never know when it is going to hit you.......your fine one minute and then you see something or hear something and your gone.......i held her for about 10 min......thank goodness i was sitting next to her....she is  a tough cookie...

Colin and his little friend that was also at the game with a couple of other kids played musical chairs on the ice....it was hysterical.......colin won....and the zambonie went right by me as they were done playing and i guess Marshall was right there on it.....LOL  didn't even see him.  i stared at it bc it's soooo big!!!!  since i was busy with colin and such i missed i guess all the Marshall stuff.....oh well we are getting a DVD.  At least i saw the drop!!!!

afterwards, we met a family and one of the girls a senior in high school had a sarcoma.  it was in her muscle and they were able to take it out......she is beautiful.  she's been wanting to meet Marshall so i asked the girl that arranged this night for us if they could come down to locker room.....she said follow us....so, i got to talk to them a little bit.....we got down there and all our present/past cancer friends were there.....ashley who is done, kayla (just behind Marshall) it was great.  i introduced them to megan.....it's a family.....and your automatically in......and surrrounded by so much love, support and complete understanding....

I finally got to meet the mother of Brandi (she dropped the puck last October)  it was our first hockey game and it was the Hockey Fights Cancer Night.  We cried when we heard her story she was 9 i think.  she passed away in dec. i think....that was hard!

If all goes well today then we will go in on Wed. and not be done til Sunday...dreading this for Marshall....it's so long for us....and we aren't the ones trapped in a room with Peter by me the whole time....hopefully since this Chemo it's not constant and if the weather is nice he can go outside in their little park setting on the sixth floor and play his guitar outside...that helps him so much.

I'm so tired......but we are almost there....i see the light!!!!! hopefully be done in the beginning of June!!!!!  well, Aidan put on Sponge Bob so I can't think anymore....LOL!!!

please keep all cancer kids in your prayers and their families.......
