Day 44 today(!) - next week, the day after Thanksgiving (and Faye's birthday), will be day 50 - half way to the big 'day 100' milestone!  Faye just finished her first full week of radiation and this time around seems more difficult. She is so very tired and has quite a bad time of it evenings and mornings.  Steve and I have a meeting at Cherry Creek HS on Monday to investigate Faye's options for the remainder of her senior year. Everyone knows when a kid is sick and behind on schoolwork it can be so overwhelming but add to that daily trips for radiation and two to three clinic visits per week... it's overwhelming, exhausting and depressing. 

On the bright side it is a gorgeous Colorado Saturday morning and Faye is feeling pretty good right now smiling and laughing with her sisters.  She thinks she might come to the 5K tomorrow to maybe just hang out and see everyone briefly.  Call me crazy but I'll allow it provided she wears her mask the entire time, touches no one and nothing, visits the parking lot only - and she allows her friends and sisters to run 'interference' for her, because people (understandably) tend to forget and they really want to hug on her! The forecast could not be better for a fun run.  There is no registration and no fee - just show up enjoy some coffee and bagels and grab this great excuse to get out, get some exercise and connect with friends and community around a time when we're all very (very) thankful.  Hope to see everyone there!  ~L
