Wow, today is the extra day that we get once every 4 years, what a way to spend the bonus. A very quick update. Only one more bone fry to go, tonight at 4:15, Chemo today and another chemo drug tomorrow and then no more chemo. Dick came by today after getting his first shot to bump up his stem cells, he will continue during the weekend and then donate on Tuesday. On Wednesday we celebrate Moms new birthday, so remember from now on presents on January 19th and more bigger presents on March 5th.
Actually she is thinking March 5th should be a Tiffany type day, she loves the little blue boxes.
She is holding up well except for the nausea and the upchucking. She went to the gym this morning and worked out for about a half hour with the Physical Therapist. We are all looking forward to Wednesday and our new beginning.

Hendricksons Never Say Can't!
The Hendros
We are 26 wild and crazy guys! Follow us on our journey as we navigate our way through this unpredictable life. When our mom was diagnosed with Leukemia we all rallied around to support one another and help her fight this disease, all the while chanting our mantra- Hendricksons Never Say Can't! See how life unfolds in our day to day updates on platelets, dialysis, creatinine, hair loss, and all the love and craziness that goes with it!
Why we Can...
Ever since we were little our mom has been singing a song. A song that always seems to crop up whenever you are frustrated, tired, depressed, or cranky. Sometimes it would buck you right up, and other times it would make you want to throw a book at her face. Either way, it has been engrained in our memory and is so much a part of us that I don't think we can remember a time when we were ever allowed to utter the word "can't"...
HENDRICKSONS NEVER SAY CAN'T
Hendricksons never say can't
Can't is not our word
Can't is simply absurd
We say, "I'll try,
I'll try with all my might.
I'll try and try
And try and try
I won't give up the fight!"
Hey, she never claimed to be a lyricist. But you gotta admit...it's catchy!

The Sha-Sha Classics Club introduces Book #2
"What's up, Quasimodo?"
If you've ever heard this from someone and wondered what it meant, then it's time you pick up the next book in the Sha-Sha Classics Club, "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame" by Victor Hugo. It promises to be a fun read full of love, adventure, and freaks of naure. So get yourself out of the bell tower and into a Borders and never let someone get away with literary slander again!
Please Note: Dro and Loubige will try and convince you that the author is actually Alexander Dumas. Don't believe them. You will end up in the Dumasses book club, which is one place you definately don't want to be.

I'm okay with mom having 2 birthdays...but if Dad starts having 2 we are in trouble. It's hard enough trying to think up something to get him for Christmas and his birthday! Hang in there Mom, the best is yet to come!
i think it is cool to have two birthdays. keep the faith mom
If all goes well, I am more than happy to indulge "blue box march". In fact I think all the ladies should get in on the fun. No? Ok, it's your day mom. I'm so anxious. We are all fasting and praying up here in Utah and sending all our love your way.
