It is with the greatest pleasure and biggest sigh of relief that we can finally proclaim this our 'last update!'

Byron came home 2 weeks ago and although still dealing with some side effects, like the neverending nausea (with each week we hope will actually end), we are all excited to finally adapt to our new normal and do the things we love to do together again!

We have barely kept it together these last 6 months but because of our family and community that came together for us and still continues to do so in beautiful and surprising ways - we did it!! We love you and are so grateful.

We are in process to put a ceremony together (and destroy the mask he had to use for treatment! ) to mark the end of this difficult journey and count our blessings it wasn't worse with the myriad of ways it could have been.

Now...onward to brighter days filled with adventures and growth as we can delightfully put this time in our lives behind us.  See you Cancer, you suck!

PS Yes that is a 220K bill, not including the 100k surgery.  If it wasn't for the help of our parents, the GoFundme donations, Sue & Greg as our Seattle hosts and Smartz (my company that was so flexible for 6 months, 4 of which I was off completely) - and of course our insurance (which was still 15k), everything we would have built in 20 years would be lost.  Man our country needs a change....just saying!

The second Polaroid is of the team in Seattle helping with his treatment...and lastly our welcome home celebrations!
