Thank You From Rebecca

Rebecca Eller Lee
Now that I've caught up a little on my family "stuff" I wanted to Thank all of you for taking the time to come and visit with me and for letting me get to know you. I'm very impressed with the women Shelli has chosen to surround herself with and am very grateful for all the help, love and support that you give her. Amy and I have both felt sad that we are not closer to help our amazing oldest sister (mother bear), but now that I have been with you all I see that she really does have sisters there too.

Keep her laughing and talking! I know there is power in prayer and hope that Shelli will feel comfortable in letting more know so that we can have even more prayers for her!
Thanks for letting me be a part of your group!
Love to you all-Becki

Happy Birthday to Shelli

Shelli Eller Jones
Team, my Birthday was one of the best days I have had. It was a great beginning to a new year! I will cherish the memories of today by recalling your visits, delightful gifts,heartfelt sacrifices, shopping excursions, the eating of food and the incredible Bday Party where we got to step out of ourselves for a moment...

...Drea (Jacq Latte) was the evil murderess using a syringe of cyanide to kill my Mother, Cocoa Channill (Head of Thornbury's Chocolates to Die For Company), Natalia (Kit Kat) was the sleezy trainer who had the affair with my Father (Ray Channill), Tiffany was the Detective with the imaginary big, threatening gun who constantly demanded our fingerprints, Lisa (BeeBee Channill) was the good lookin gambler, Michelle (whom I work with) owned a competing chocolate company, Deon (Hazel Nutte) was a pious, 'chocolate is not good for you" nutjob, and my Sister Becki was Marsha Mallow, the Biographer of Cocoa and lastly, I was Shopin Channill, who was a spoiled, preferred to shop rather than work, no-do-gooder. Each played her part with perfection. It made for a night of laughter, memories and grand teasing topped off with a Symphony of Chocolates, Cheese and Chocolate Fondues and interesting dialogue. Absolutely enjoyable! Pictures to come.

Thank you, Thank You Everyone!

    • Drea Walker Fisk I had a blast! Tiffany did a four-star job with dinner and the details of the event. I will be talking about it for weeks.

    • Tiffany Betteridge Ericksen It was fun to plan! What made it really fun was having everyone get into their parts! What great sports you all were :)

    • Drea Walker Fisk I checked with Zeb and it is true (according to him), Cyanide has an almond flavor AND almonds have just trace amounts of Cyanide in them. Weird, huh?

Sister is Coming to Town

  • Shelli Eller Jones
    I am past due at posting and its all my Sister's fault for keeping me so well entertained over these last few days. We had fun shopping, getting massages, going to Gardner's Village, visiting with family and did I mention shopping? No wonder my character at the Bday party was named, Shopin Channel (with French accent). Becki even watched the kidlets while Lance and I enjoyed a date together Sat. night. Thanks Sis.

    Chemo went as well as it could. I have felt considerably more tired and drained, but am sure its from playing to much in celebration of my Bday. I am battling some sort of an infection and started on anti-biotics today. I went to Frequency Therapy and plan to go to the Sauna tonight if I can find Sir Energy. Thank you to those who have pitched in to watch Cooper and checked on me recently.

    More to come as I learn it. Hope ya'll are doing well.

    I read this quote recently and it won't leave my mind, so I thought I'd pass it along.

Hello Dear Team. . .

Shelli Eller Jones
Hello Dear Team.....I just had a good Frequency Therapy session today-Thanks Lisa, which really seems to help me. My Sister arrives tomorrow and I can't wait for ya'll to meet her. The Party is coming together...as a mystery murder dinner we have been assigned characters and mine is supposed to dress in "Tall boots, mini skirt and skimpy shirt," brings back fun memories :) ha ha. Should be rather entertaining! You are awesome Tiffany for throwing such a Unique Bash, you are so creative. BTW, for those of you attending the Party, please refrain from Cancer-talk as there will be others there who do not know (yet). Thanks.

Pure Palpable Exhaustion

Shelli Eller Jones
Pure palpable exhaustion, with a hint of craziness, a flare for nausea/vomiting, a steep decline in blood sugar levels and a complete absence of appetite, is me post Chemo. I forgot to mention the spinning show of Mr. Dizzy and Mrs. Light-headed when I sit up, walk or crawl.....awww good times. Two treatments down, Six to go! Yeah Team. Thanks for the visits and tea.

Shelli Eller Jones Forgot to mention the rasberry red rashes I get in certain places. Potential hair loss starts the 2nd or 3rd week....I'm ready for it ;) sort of. It could be worse ya know.

    • Laurel Bayer Plumb Oh Shelli - I love your honesty. D&C 24:8 is my new favorite scripture. The Lord teaches us that trials will happen, they are a part of life and be patient through them as we endure and the Lord will be with us. In hind sight of certain trials I believe this to be true and now treasure the sweet moments in those trials where the Lord taught me of His ways. I love you so very much dear friend and can't wait to see you in February! And I am on braod for running a race this summer as well!
      January 17 at 10:18am · 

    • Drea Walker Fisk I appreciate your candor as well. It helps us understand how we can be of service.

Hello Friends and Family

Shelli Eller Jones
Hello Friends and Family. Just had an interesting experience with a relative who asked about my current symptoms and then quickly interjected that she is in a state of denial and prefers to stay there. I would be in denial too if I could... Everyone handles this differently and I have come to respect that. This is not easy stuff to cope with, so I need to just get better and be done with it once and for all don't I? Well I am trying, its just taking longer than I anticipated :) Thanks for hanging in there with me. Chemo treatment #2 will be Sunday morning to allow for more downtime since I have to work a lot this next week...ugh.

I noticed no one readily accepted my invitation to run a 5K with me this summer....scared? Of what? I'm sure I'll run slower than you, but I will finnish the race. Sisters, are there any cool races to be run in Texas this summer? It has to be for a cool, non-cancer cause--like 'Save The Whales' or 'Strut Your Mutt' or for 'Haiti Children." That sounds reasonable to me. Any takers?

    • Natalia Mery-Dent i will run one here in sl with you.. lol... i would prefer a 'save the whales' run, but will settle for a 'strut your mutt' if i hafta!! ;)
      January 14 at 9:52pm · 

    • Michelle Antoinette I like "strut your mutt" and Yes! I will run one with ya!!!
      January 14 at 9:57pm · 

    • Tiffany Snedaker A relative is in denial about your symptoms? Hmmmm...I guess you are right when you say everyone handles it differently, but I'm wondering how that benefits you as a support when someone else is in denial?
      January 15 at 9:13am · 

    • Shelli Eller Jones Talked with this relative again today...she said her denial is her way of keeping her feelings and thoughts in check and to make sure I don't have to deal with them. Needless to say, I informed her of the latest and she said she would be more supportive of me and spend time with Courtney.

      There is a really cool one here in Frisco in Dec.(Frosty 5K) which I was going to do before I found out about my little bump and didn't want to be out in the cold for too long but maybe this year...5K is no biggie just around 3 miles and I ...do that preggo 3-4 times a week...I would run with you but don't think we'll be in UT much this summer if at all. :(
      Love you big!      See More
