Well, here is a little update: Alena is moved back into her parents home in Granite Bay, with a freshly applied coat of paint in her room. She will miss her cute little cottage in Roseville, but she is so grateful for the comfort of being at home. She needs her parents, and I am pretty sure they need her too.
Alena and Amy are already having roommate withdrawals!! Alena sports the bald head very well, and she was blessed with a perfectly shaped head. Heavenly Father blessed her with that so she would be comforted during her trials!! Alrighty then, Alena had her appointment at 11:15 this morning at Kaiser, and everything went so unbelievably smooth. Alena got to be in the corner of the room in a hospital bed that was very comfortable. We also watched Robin Hood: Prince of thieves!! Talk about a plush chemo session! We were in and out in no time(well, 3 hours), and Alena does not have any nausea, which is great, and the only thing she is experiencing is fatigue, which is easily solvable!(sleep)
She is now resting, and doing very well!! Thank you so much for your love and strength!! Bye for now.

We are thinking of you, Alena, and continue to include you in our prayers and on the temple prayer roll. You are such an awesome example to us. Much love,

Alena-wee,
I emailed you a story about a 21 year old male who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. During his treatments, he printed this mantra and put it all over his room:
"Everything that happens to you, whether you like it or not, becomes a part of your life, and you must live your life and be the best you can be every step of the way, because what choice do you have?"
I realized that you have always thought this way. Your positive attitude is like a pebble thrown into a pond, where its ripples have touched so many people in more ways than you know. We all love you very much!!!
Love, Jenny and family
