An all to short break...

Well everyone, sorry for the big gap in between updates... After a pretty crappy first week of being home full of nausea, weakness, pain, and just over all feeling like crap..., Sean is finally feeling much better! He has been able to get out and do things. Saturday he was able to go out with some friends to a bachelor party, Sunday we had a ton of family over for Easter (which was lovely having everyone over!). Monday, Sean went out and about with me while I did the gazillion errands I had to do, and he also came along for more errands today! He has been EATING~nonstop! Which, for those of you who have recently seen Sean know that is a very good thing! Sean is weighing a whopping 118lbs right now. In August he weighed in at 180, so...
Sean has an appointment in Chicago on Friday, then he is scheduled to start his next round of biochemo on Monday. We have decided to cut out some of the driving and we will just stay in Chicago for the weekend. I am a little excited about it because if Sean is still feeling good for the weekend, we may be able to take advantage of the trip and check out a bit of the city! The down side... hotels are expensive (but so is gas) : )! It will also be hard staying all weekend because it is that many more days we will not see the girls : (. Both Sean and I were quite home sick by the end of the first week, so I am not sure how we will manage staying even longer.
Thank you everyone for all of the comments, emails, thoughts, and prayers we have received. We need every bit of them, and appreciate it all! Keep them coming! ~nicole~

Nicole, appreciate the update on Sean. Got your girls some Easter goodies that I will be taking to Grampa Marty's this weekend since he says he will be having the girls sometime this week.

Keep me posted on your move so I can get that bed over there to you two.

Tell Sean I love him and hope all goes well in Chicago.

Talk to you soon.

Love, Sean's Aunt Shelly
