Goebbert's Pumpkin Farm

Well, one treatment down, 11 to go. Shaun successfully handled his first chemo treatment. He did end up having most of the usual side-effects, but handled them without complaint. Now he knows he will just have to set aside a few days afterwards to sleep. The regiment he is on is called FOLFOX and is the standard of care. The drugs shouldn't affect his hair, not that he had much to fall out! So mainly he has to deal with the fatigue. His next treatment will be one week from Monday. It would be nice if Shaun could enjoy his week off in peace, but he has to go in tomorrow for a PET scan. I think the doctors just like to see his smiling face so they bring him in often.
Our weekend adventures continued with visits from Bryce's Nana and Poppa (aka Shaun's parents), Aunt Amy and WOODY! Shaun and I were very excited to get to see Woody, even if it was only for a short while. He's been staying with Shaun's parents for the last several months so we could sell the house and now so we have one less responsibility. As soon as chemo is over, or the weather gets warm again (which ever come first) Shaun will insist on Woody coming home for good.
We also visited Goebbert's Pumpkin Farm today with Nana and Poppa. Similar to the apple fest, there were A LOT of people, but thankfully the farm was adequately prepared for such crowds. They had lots of photo opts with pumpkins, gords, wood cutouts of tv characters and whatnot. When Bryce is older, we will have to go back so he can enjoy the pony rides, camel rides, petting zoo and haunted house. We still had a great time and the weather was brisk but beautiful. The leaves are starting to change so maybe next weekend we will go hiking and take pictures of the trees.
