Hair: No Más!

Several concerned friends and family members contacted me this week because there haven't been any blog updates and they feared that meant bad news.  Rest assured, no bad news to share this week.  We have just settled into our new life with cancer and there isn't much to share.  Eventually the shock wore off and we have all adjusted to what our lives now look like.  I am guessing next week will also look quite "normal."   

Zach worked every morning this week.  It was exhausting at times but he pushed through it.  He managed his side-effects with medication.  We are incredibly thankful that some of the worst sounding side effects haven't affected Zach.  

In closing, I want to thank Oliver Finley Academy of Cosmetology.  This was the school that sent 20 hairstylists-in-training to the Rocky/Eagle game last month to shave several hundred heads.  This week Zach decided it was time to get rid of the stragglers on top of his head that chemo hadn't killed off yet. He stopped by Oliver Finley and had the last few hairs shaved off.  The sweet stylist didn't charge him.  We appreciate even these small gestures of support and kindness.

One stylish dude!

Oliver's new reading nook!  This busy little boy stops for nothing except for the opportunity to look at books.  On days when Zach is exhausted it is a nice place to lay down and let Oliver "read" to him.  

Crazy about this little guy.

Valentine's dinner with Mitch and Jessica.  Zach invited us along and Mitch and Jessica were gracious enough to agree.  As Zach so aptly put it: nothing says Happy Valentine's Day like spending it with your sister :)  



Why spend a fortune on dessert at a fancy restaurant when you can get a dozen Krispy Kreme's instead?  

Zach has never been a fan of donuts.  But he now has strange cravings during chemotherapy.  So we made the KK trip for him…and he only ate 1 donut!  There is something seriously wrong with that.
