Well to continue backtracking August she did pretty well with the chemo. She started on two chemo drugs that aren't extremely harsh and she was a little nauseated but we soon figured out which antinausea drugs worked for her. Kevin's sister Kristen and her husband Tom did a fundraiser with Safeway and had people donate hats for Brynn. It was a barbeque and bake sale and it turned out way bigger than they imagined. We had an overwhelming amount of support and donations and made over $8000 and she had 37 hats donated that day. She tried them all and then donated the ones that didn't fit or were duplicates. My brother and sister wanted to order bracelets for us to all wear to support Brynn. They ordered about 200 purple rubber bracelets that said Team Brynn on them and we were out of them in no time- everyone wanted a bracelet to wear! After that they ordered another 400 bracelets. We were giving them to nurses also as they were becoming some of our greatest friends! It was so hard to accept so much help but at the same time so nice because we never felt like we were going through it alone. The YW and other families were filling our freezer with cookies, casseroles and soup. We stayed as a family at Ronald McDonald house for alot of August because Brynn didn't need to be admitted for her chemo and we knew we should spend time together before school started. I wrote in my journal that I just had to keep the faith and take one day at a time.
