Mrs. Teller's talented 4th grade class

Yesterday Ben, Kira, Avery, Maci & I went to Lees Market in North Ogden for Green Acres Elementary 4th grade "Recorder Recital". Kira is in the third row, first on the right side in a brown coat next to Miss Averie. The entire 4th grade played 5 songs and they did a very good job.

I got a huge surprise today. Kira brought home this amazing poster from Mrs. Teller's entire 4th grade class. Mrs. Teller has been so supportive during the last few months. She keeps me informed on Kira's well being during school. Mrs. Teller is a wonderful teacher and we are so grateful that Kira has an excellent example everyday.

Here is the fine print. THANKS TO MRS. TELLER'S 4th GRADE CLASS! YOU ARE AWESOME KIDS AND HAVE AN INCREDIBLE TEACHER.

March Madness

March is a time for madness, basketball madness. I am feeling a little madness of my own, I'm starting to feel cooped up. I try to get out of the house and help Leigh more but obviously not enough. I have been to more movies in the last 3 weeks than in 6 months. I get tired easy and try not to over do it. I am very fortunate the chemo doesn't make me sick to my stomach. The day after chemo I get a shot called Nuelasta which makes my bones ache. I get other weird side effects but nothing that is debilitating just irritating.

Somewhere in my head though things are not moving fast enough. Ben says I have chemo brain which makes me somewhat slow witted. My brain doesn't react to things normally, my knee jerk reactions are not what they used to be. In some cases that is good, as in my short temperament but not so good with my overall functions. I guess a little madness is expected when chemo is a supplement to my diet.

Hopefully, the next few weeks the sun will start to warm things up. I look forward to its warmth since I can not seem to stay warm anymore. I also need to tan my bald head. I have not ever seen my skin so white!

Thanks again to everyone and your warm wishes, I need all the warmth I can get right now.

Love Apey
