Now I can take naps

Before
After


Matt receiving his purple heart from Marianne


How many chemo's left? ZERO



It's over, chemo is over. Matt graduated from chemo today, we said good bye to his super sweet nurses and we all cheered. It's been a long six months but it was worth it. Matt is healthy and we are all happy. Thanks to everybody for your prayers and thoughts we couldn't have made it through the year of hell without you!

We love you Matt! By the way, Leah, how come your blog is always cuter than mine? SHOW OFF!

Yay Matt. Hope you're feeling well. Way to go you guys. I can't believe that was a year.

Hey flea, we're not going to church tomorrow (stake conf) give me a call when you have a minute.

Matt said...

I couldn't have done it without you and the kids, Leah. You held me up when I was down. Now, here's to good health, naps for mom, Saturday's outdoors and not wondering where the nearest bathroom is!

I love you!

Congrats on the success. I have to say Matt looks great with a bald head... of course I might be a little biased about the subject.

Bj said...
