Buy Avon and help Dana!

Just to update... Dana is now taking a low dose of steroids and the shaking is more controllable than before. She is still doing radiation and taking the chemotherapy pill and shes still sporting most of her own hair (theres a scar from the biopsy but shes rockin it). Shes working and squeezing in as much time as she can with her boys. They are taking this all so well, I am very proud of them.

The benefit Trivia night is so soon (May 7th) and its going to be amazing! So many local businesses have donated items and food and people are pitching in their time and effort like crazy. Donations can still be made to the button at the bottom of this post via paypal.

Georganne Mudd an Avon representative and friend has generously offered to donate all profits from now until the end of June to Dana!! her website is http://gmudd.avonrepresentative.com/. Your order will be shipped to you directly and there is a 100% satisfaction guarantee. So get the Avon you already love and help out a wonderful woman in the process. Now thats what I call win win!

I know that all of you are closely following Dana's recovery; she began the radiation and chemotherapy on April 5th. When she originally started medication to prohibit the growth of the tumor (prior to the biopsy) she would get headaches and unfortunately they have returned. Today she spoke with the doctor and he wanted to put her back on steroids, which made her shake. She is looking for alternatives. When they originally had her on the steroids she would have trouble holding on to small things like her cell phone and i can only imagine that it would be more difficult now that she is back at work. Now after working 3-4 hours her eyes and head begin aching. We can only hope that as she continues the radiation and chemotherapy that killing the cancer and prohibiting the tumor's growth will ease some of her pain. I know it will be a long road and it may get worse before it gets better but shes our rock and her friends and family will support her as much as we can along the way. We love you Dana.

There is a raffle, a silent auction, a scavenger hunt, door prizes and of course trivia! There has also been food and drinks donated by local businesses and friends. Dana is still taking the chemotherapy pill and undergoing radiation so we hope that she will feel well enough to attend. If you know someone local that would like to donate their time or money they can contact us at http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002091743341 or simply click the donate button below to donate directly to paypal using a credit or debit card. Dana isnt included in the planning of the event so aim any questions to the facebook page above or comment here on her blog and i will get back to you. Dana is handling everything so well thus far, shes a really strong soul. Thank you to everyone for your kind wishes and prayers!

Updating Danas Status

Today Dana had her first chemo and radiation treatment. She says that she was freaked out going in but that it wasn't too bad. She saw a blue light that wasn't there and apparently that's her brain's interpretation of being fried. Thankfully she is not feeling sick just a little tired. She has promised to keep us posted on any changes. Lets send her our kind thoughts and make sure she has enough time to rest. For those of you that know her (and those of you that want to) feel free to post here or on her Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002091743341) as opposed to calling her so that shes not bombarded with our affection.
