More Doctors
Since I lasted posted I have visited an oncologist regarding the breast cancer diagnosis. Not a fun few hours for sure, but we have a plan now and if all stays true to that I will start chemotherapy on May 10th.
One thing we are concerned about is " chemo brain " -- a side effect from the chemotherapy. Short term memory can be hampered as well as other things such as lack of concentration and (Source: Dealing with Alzheimer's Blog)

Surviving Christmas
It ' s the day after Christmas and I survived another one! It wasn ' t so bad considering we had Ian to make us smile!
He was one month old on Christmas and a delight -- although his mom and dad probably don ' t think that when he is crying.
One nice thing about my son being on paternity leave is that he is a little more accessible to us and was able to go with me and my husband to my (Source: Dealing with Alzheimer's Blog)

Ian has arrived
Ian Lee Bakowski entered the world last Friday, November 25th. He was a week early but we are glad he is here. His mom had a long labor but everyone is doing fine and they are home from the hospital. I wasn ' t exactly sure what I was going to think when I saw my son holding his son for the first time, but it pretty much took my breath away. Thanks to all of you who have sent their well (Source: Dealing with Alzheimer's Blog)
