Day Twenty-five


Day 25

It seems crazy, absolutely crazy that it is day 25. Britney continues to conquer. We are all hoping and praying for an early release, which if all goes well, will be this Wednesday.
Once Brit is home, she is not exactly able to work. Her immune system is still very much compromised. She will be too weak, at least for now. ANY time she goes outside, she must wear the mask. The mask is hot and stuffy. The mask prevents Brit from catching any bugs, or virus’s. IT gives me a new understanding of other people wearing masks. I had always kind of thought that people were weird and paranoid that would walk around with masks on. I now understand that she is protecting herself from us. We cannot get anything from “The mask wearers”
I will explain more once I understand about the treatment that she still has to endure. Radiation still has not come, and it is tentatively scheduled for August. Every day she has to do oral chemotherapy for the full 2 years. To Brit this means more than most of us will ever understand. But to me, it means that for at least 2 years, Britney isn’t quite healthy, and her hair will be gone for that long at least.
Luckily, we all know a very strong willed woman. We all know that Britney’s smile cannot be affected by this trial. She is pressing forward with faith and a big, bright smile on her face.
I love you Brit, and I can’t wait to be with you, out of that hospital. (Even tough we have already had some good times in there)

  1. Brit-I'm a little slow to comment, all this fancy technology and all!...Anyway, just wanted you to know we've been following your battle, and keeping you in our thoughts and prayers! You are an amazing lady! I truly believe that these types of experiences/trials you are going through Heavenly Father gives to those whom He knows can go through it with grace and faith. You are just that person and are a shining example! As far as the mask goes...The beauty of your smile is also in your eyes...and so is the light of Christ! Love Ya Brit!--Hugs-Tisa Hedman
