Looking forward to Happy Holidays with Hats and Hair

Fashionable AND Filling

Bobbi completed her first round of chemotherapy on the Friday before Thanksgiving.  As expected she felt like poo, but it only lasted about 4-5 days.  She got to enjoy having both girls home from college and Oliver was glad to have the whole family together for the Thanksgiving holiday.  They opted to stay at home on Thursday for a quiet dinner per her doctor's advice to avoid any germs as her immune system is pretty much kaput from the chemo.  

After the queasiness from the first chemo treatment subsided, she was able to get back into the swing of things. She and Boodie went to have her blood drawn to check her toxicity levels and she reports that "they are poisoning me right on schedule."

She's been able to have some silly time with her peeps and they got to try on some hats and hair in preparation for her hair loss.  It's been predicted to fall out on....you guessed it, on Lump Day.    
aka tomorrow.
  12/2 Update:  today is officially now know as "Clump Day" per Bobbi's pillow this morning.

Boodie wants this one but with her

She goes back for her second round of chemotherapy this Friday and while not looking forward to it, she feels better about knowing what to expect.  She's received lots of lovely gifts (now referred to as "booby prizes") and is grateful, but doesn't want for a single thing but "love and karma all around."

In lieu of gifts or meals, the Knights of Columbus & Bobbi's friends have decided to host an event to show our support for the Kraus family in the way we know best.  A party!   

"Boozing for Bobbi's Boobies!" 

(title of party not official nor church approved, but the alliteration was too fabulous to resist.)

We are excited to announce a Poker night in the Kraus's honor scheduled for next Friday night 12/11 up at Tighe hall.  (Basement of Visitation Church)  Come by for some cards, Texas Hold 'Em! and cocktails and even some fabulous prizes to bid on in a silent auction.  Share the word!  Like the hymn goes, "All Are Welcome" and we can all show our love and support to the Kraus Family.  Link here. 

Hope to see y'all next Saturday!
