What's Happening?

I cannot believe I’ve gone almost two months without blogging! The only excuse I have is that it’s been a busy two months!!! Here’s a quick rundown of what’s been going on at the Williams House …
·         Halloween … Aiden was the cutest doctor in Greenville and had a blast trick-or-treating with his friends from school.
·         My ultrasound showed only residual parts of the blood clot which meant no more blood thinners  and that I could go back to eating normally and enjoying the occasional beer.
·         We took a trip to Crewe, VA to celebrate Granddad Clay’s 99th Birthday!
·         Three weeks of physical therapy to help with my range of motion in my arm after surgery.
·         Participated in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes in Raleigh to support one of our amazing friends!
·         Aiden has his first field trip to Briley’s Farm; mommy went too!
·         I finally had my JP drain removed … 4 weeks after surgery!!!
·         Thanksgiving visit from Grandma Kay, the Keyes, and the unwelcomed flu like crude that left me in bed for most of the weekend.
·         Aiden’s first ECU Football game.
·         Started radiation
·         Went to see Disney on Ice
·         Hosted a Cookie Exchange Party
·         Celebrated Jonathan’s Birthday
I’m handling radiation fairly well. My skin is starting to look red, like I have a sun burn and I’ve been super tired. I recently read that radiation brings with it a fatigue that no amount of sleep will help and that’s exactly how I feel, always tired no matter how much I sleep. But it’s nothing that stops me from being able to carry out my normal routine. I’m halfway through radiation and looking forward to the end! I promise to be better with my blogging and keeping everyone up to date with what’s going on around our house.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
