Howdy from the great state of Texas!!! I've had a great week so far this week. I actually took a nap a little while ago. It was nice. This was a good day today because we got to hear the new baby's heartbeat a little while ago. So exciting. I have a new wig that I'll include to this note. Zachary is modeling it for me. HOpe you like it!!! Not too much excitement going on right now so I'll talk to you all later.

Good morning world, I'm so sorry I haven't written in awhile but I'm been "under the weather" as you know. I feel a little stronger today. I felt a lot stronger yesterday and so I inadverantly stayed up to long and now I'm tired again. Chemo week is tough!!! All I can say-tearful, tiring, sleepless, drink this, drink that, etc. I know this week will be better. Not a lot going on PTL but I go for my first blood counts this morning to see how it goes. Then hopefully, lunch at Furr's for some super iron building goodies liver liver/onions/spinach, etc. Well, Kimberly starts week #15 tomorrow. So exciting!!! October 4th is the gender 3-d day. Can't wait-it's the day before the #2 stone is being thrown at Goliath!! Zachary is 18 months old and boy does he jabber and jabber. He's such a cutie. I wish we could talk to Caleb and Caitlyn more but they aren't encouraged to talk to us. So sad. They're always in our prayers on a daily basis. I hope Caleb is enjoying his Nutella that we sent him. He loves that stuff and in fact, I'm having it for breakfast!!! Little things like this, we can do to stay close to them or at least try to stay close to them. If you live "up north" and know our kids, love on them for us and remind them how much they are loved and thought about. You all have a blessed day. Love ya

Well here they are, I added these other two. One is my good picture and the other is a silly look!! HOpe you all like these pictures.

This is Bob and Carolyn who are letting me borrow some of their hats!! Thank you so much.




Oh I just forgot, want to include a few new pictures!!!I wanted to show you how cute Zachary looked and then this other picture is of a little wig that will fit under ball caps. I have another picture of just me in the wig that I bought. Where did it Go?

I got to talk to Dr. Laidley's nurse this afternoon. So sweet for her to call. She told me I could shoer and take off the patch so I was so glad that I could because the tape was irritating my skin. My chemo #1 is tomorrow. A little nervous but Jesus Christ is carrying me right now. I'm going to sleep well as I'm not leaning on my understanding and He says He'll make my sleep well. So I'm heading to bed. I stayed home all day today because I did too much yesterday. Our church has our services online so I was still in church today. That is so wonderful because I can watch in "live time" and that's great. So good night everyone and I'll try and talk tomorrow.

Boy, what a day yesterday was!!! I got the port but definitely feel as if I've been run over by a truck or something to that extent. I'm in pain from the insertion of the port but it will fade. I'm glad I decided not to do chemo on the same day of the insertion. I'm going to get my wig today and get it fixed. It should be interesting. Several friends are going with me including my best friend, Kimberly C. I have such wonderful friends. Our pastor has already called this morning also. We are so blessed. I was reading scripture last night- Psalm 27. He's going to make cancer fall!! The Lord is the stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid? Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear, though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. So... BRING ON THE CHEMO AND LET'S GET THE CANCER GONE!!! Praise to His Holy Name, Thank You Jesus for your great love.

Hello everyone!!!!! Well, we have some exciting news today on 2 fronts!!! The first front is that the cancer is going to be more receptive to the drug Herceptin than we thought it was. I'm so thrilled!!! The next thing is that the Dr. thinks the new baby is going to be a girl. That's so exciting!!! We saw her moving around today, kicking, squirming, fingers in her mouth, you could see her spine growing, and her little feet and hands and legs. It was so exciting to see her moving around. Her heart rate was 156 . I don't care what it really is, I just want a healthy little baby to love on and adore. God's timing is so perfect!!! We are so grateful for all that is going on right now from cancer to pregnancy!!! God's faithfulness is so awesome!!!!

Good morning world!!!! We are home from vacation and already missing the boat. Today is "chemo school" for me today. Bryan, Kimberly, and Zachary will be going with me. More sets of ears are better than just one. I know the Lord is carrying me though right now so I'm leaning on Him!!! I can't believe that we are already into September!!! Oh my goodness. We had a cold front come through last night so it's about 70 degrees and I'm lovin it! I hope you all have a great and blessed day. I'll keep you posted on the outcome of todays school lesson!!
