We have had a couple of really quite days in a row here now. Brenn is feeling okay, but not great, she is already tiring more easily, and is experiencing mood swings already from her steroid. However the benefit of her being more tired is I get a lot more cuddle time with her, and since Brenn is cuddling me, Samantha also gets in on it, so I get double cuddles all the time now. Christines Aunts are coming in for the weekend for a visit, and we have all been looking forward to having them here. Christine has really wanted some more of her family to come out and see her. it is quite hard for her with me having a lot of my family here to support us, she has really been missing her family simply because her family support network is in Alberta, and we cannot go and visit them at this time.

The RMH gave us some tickets to tomorrows BC Lions game. Brenn and I are going for sure, and another one of the girls here at the house will be joining us. Samantha may come with us, but we are not sure, a football game is a lot to sit through for a super energetic 3 year old. This will be Brenns first professional sporting event that she has ever attended so she is quite excited! I just hope that it doesn't rain, and that Brenn is feeling up to sitting through the game. She is a good sport of course, but once she gets to tired, it's over, she simply cannot control herself emotionally. Quite often lately, we have all been stressed out, and having hard times dealing with some things, but once in a while we remember how great Brenn is doing, and how strong she is. She has simply breezed through her treatment without very many complaints at all, and it is really hard to believe that at 5 years old she has that inner strength to take so much, and still be a happy kid at the end of the day. It has really taught us how to take a step back from things, and see what is actually happening in a situation, take in all of our surroundings, and enjoy what is offered. Things are hard right now, and I struggle every day to try to compensate for my frustrations, so I have been running and biking everyday, but this experience really has been emotionally draining, we are all tired, and just want to come home.
