We apologize for the long delay in updating the website. It turns out that our Internet Service Provider (ISP) at home went out of business or something and left us stranded on getting the site updated. Not to mention the fact that we do not have an Internet connection at home right now and we are both climbing the walls without it. You don't realize how much you rely on it until you have to do without it. Anyway, the new ISP company is currently saying that we should be back online around Friday, April 15th.
Just a quick update. Alicia had her second chemo treatment on Monday, April 11th. The symptoms that she experienced were almost identical to the previous treatment, except she said they were a little bit more intense this time around. She is such a trooper that I even had to comment to her yesterday that I sometimes forget that she is as sick as she really is, because she is handling it so well. Her hair has started to fall out and true to her word she decided to shave her head to keep from having to deal with having hair all over the place. I decided to shave my head also in solidarity with her. We have pictures that we'll put up here once we get our ISP service back. She'll have to give you a better update when we are back online. Thanks for being there for us. Everyone has been so great!

Might as well toast the event!

What you can't see is my tears as I crossed that line from a short girlie 'do to as "short as I could get" before the clippers came out. Greg told me I was beautiful. Those words got me through.

Greg has fun, sporting a mohawk!
