Plain milk's fiiiine

The holidays have been great so far! I flew home on Dec 20, it was so nice to only be in the air for a little over an hour instead of the 12 hours in a car. Take off initially scares me because I am rather fond of the ground. Its nice and solid. However, then the adrenaline kicked in and I wanted more- kind of feels like a roller coaster:)

Home sweet home :) I love me some pine trees with snow. Will someone take me snowmobiling? Pretty please? 

We got our family pictures taken over Thanksgiving break and we received copies recently

All "the ladies" :)

 Siblings in order of oldest to youngest

E'erybody

I just had to throw this little family portrait gem in here because I am watching Star Wars right now. That is because I am a closet nerd. 

 Spotlight on Connerman. Seriously, he is one of the most loving kids I know. He'll give you a hug almost anytime and he makes you feel like a million bucks.

Santa came specially to visit Callie and Peyton! And then Peyton disappeared after Santa asked her if she was naughty or nice....

 My first picture taken for instagram, I finally joined. Jane's hounding finally worked. 

 I always take a picture with Emily when I see her! Cousins. Friends for life

 Grandma  Hansen! I look up to this woman, and hope that I can have her devotion to the Lord when I am that old.

 Jake really likes to squeal. But, he is adorable in his Sunday best:)

 Driving home to the airport, finally getting close to home

The girls singing on Christmas Eve

Dad figured out that it only matters what you do with the remote.. Surprisingly he only lost by about 200 points. 

Things that make Molly happy:]

• New perfume, I smell real good
• My travel pack for Christmas!! For when I travel through Europe after I graduate college
• This little gem right here. I'm gonna pull this out when he is a football linebacker in high school.
• 
• It was a White Christmas! And I watched all my Christmas favorites- Santa Clause (the original) " Plain milk's fiiine"  Home Alone, A Christmas Story, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas
• I am healing really well, ready to be done with surgeries. Like forever.
• Peppermint Hot Chocolate from Starbucks... mmmh good.
• playing Just Dance on the Wii " Hey I just met you..."
• Helpful people in doctor's offices
• I am excited for New Year's! I am going to dance all night long!
• My boots, hats, and scarves because baby its cooooold outside!

NEC yo

*please excuse how long it took me to update because there has been a lot of stuff gone down in the last SIX DAYS that I have been stuck in the hospital (props to my flipping awesome nurse ladies that put up with me, but hospitals suck.)

I AM OFF PAIN PILLS! ( I decided the pain was better than wanting to throw up all the time.) 

NEC- NO.EVIDENCE.OF.CANCER
The biopsies came back negative! And they think they caught it all in surgery. I am classified as Stage 1c (the "c" part being from when the biopsy of the cyst was taken the first time- the whole appendix thing, no humanly possible way the doctor could have drained it and not have a drop go astray. )Gross. I know, but that's why I need chemo.


CHEMO?
Yes- probably just about 3 treatments, its a cautionary act, I don't want them cutting me open again in 2 years...
             WHERE?
                      I haven't decided if it will be done in Spokane or Salt Lake, it has been a bit tricky wading through the parts of my insurance policy figuring out who will cover me.

My amazing roommates drove down from Rexburg just to see me! I felt so special. We played a board game, caught up on what has happened in the last week and they made fun of my waddle (cant quite stretch my stomach out yet). 

 Pre-Op... I had to drink that whole thing, and then another one just like it. I am never drinking Gatorade again in my life. 

 One of the few foods I could keep down- delicious. One thing SLC has going for itself is the awesome food options. 

 Jane got me flowers! They made my sterile room so much prettier. And she got a Get Well Soon balloon so people would know I didn't just have a baby like everyone else in the Woman's Pavilion. 

 Joe got me flowers too! They were so pretty, and he picked them out by himself:)

 I've become very stylish, with my compression socks that I have to wear pretty much 24/7 ( i hate wearing them at night... like a lot..)

 I played quite a bit of Ticket to Ride and watched a lot of Walking Dead. 

This is Stanley- he was my only man inside the Woman's Pavilion, and he kept me company on my walks around the building.

St. Mark's Hospital- I cant say enough good things. My surgeons, anesthesiologist, my nurses, the CNA's, my social worker and case manager. Seriously, they were all awesome. 




THINGS THAT MAKE MOLLY HAPPY :]

• grilled chicken, coconut rice, delicious broccoli with some of that orange pop (what's it called...)
• RETAIL THERAPY! ( I just bought a bunch of clothes at F21 and H&M, and I feel pretty awesome:)
• Netflix ( Walking Dead and How I Met Your Mother... Shout out to Zach Athens, who I can ALWAYS guarantee on for recognizing a reference and making me laugh)
• I get to fly home for Christmas! ( required a bit of juggling because of the high risk of blood clots)
• My family
• My parents who both came down for my surgery, and who are dealing with the fact that I am campainging hard  for being the most expensive child
• Jane and Joe: let their home be overrun by me 3 of the last 5 weekends, and get me anything I need and visited me in the hospital!
• Abby flew down to come see me and always answers any sort of prescription question I have.
• The rest of my family is being really supportive:)
• All my friends in Rexburg, I miss you all!
• I am also very happy that I feel better, and getting back to my old self day by day:)
