Good evening everyone. Well, here is the newest member of the Cornelius family!!! Miss Baby C is 28 weeks along and is growing well. She's chubbier than her brother was at this stage. We are excited, of course. Caitlyn asked if she was "out" yet because I had told her that we were going to see the new baby. Caitlyn is so precious. She was so happy that Grammy is feeling better. Today was a much better day for me. Not as tired, praise the Lord. I sure hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Good afternoon everyone. Well, different kinds of news from the Johnson household. Yesterday, I went in to get my blood tested and to have Dr. Brook's check this heart shaped rash on my forehead. Well, he looked at me and said, "you're finished!" I didn't understand what he said and so he repeated it and added NO MORE CHEMO FOR ME. I had 5 doses out of 6 and now we'll see what we do from here. I have to have an ECHO on Monday following my antibiotic infusion. It's to test and see how my heart is. I'm so glad that the chemo is finished. Then today, we went to Kimberly's Dr. appt and got to see some 3D4D pictures of Miss Baby C. She is bigger at this point in time than Zachary was. She has fat little fingers, and fat chubby cheeks. Tomorrow, we have a regular 3 D appt with Visions of Love so we'll get better pictures of her and then we can post them. Caleb and Caitlyn will be arriving her on Monday!! Can't wait to see them. I hope you all have a very Merry Christ-mas and I'll keep you posted on my events as they go along. God Bless You All!!

Hello everyone!!! Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I've written on my blog. Sorry. I had treatment # 5 and so glad it's over with. I have 1 more to go and then it'll be PET time, ECHO test time, etc. to see how I've done through everything. Other than fighting sinus infections, I've been doing okay. I'm once again on antibiotics, which is helping to get rid of this sinus stuff. As far as my feelings go from chemo, I'm doing okay. Tomorrow, it's supposed to be a beautiful day in the 70's and so I'm going to get out and do a little bit of shopping and playing after my Dr. appt. Tonight, I feel like cooking so it's meat loaf, mashed potatoes, veggie casserole. I'll finish my brother's Christmas cards tonight, and begin to work on ours. I've gotten quite a few done. I'll give out the neighbor cards tomorrow, waiting for pictures for our cards, and got the cards and pictures for Clayton's. I'll do that this evening. I want to put a couple of pictures on here of several different things. My friend Kathy Ellis made me a beautiful blanket and then just some other snap shots. I hope you all have a great week. Tomorrow is "hump" day!!! Love ya.

Hi everyone, It's Saturday. It's hard to believe that I've been hoe from the hospital for a week and haven't gotten ANYTHING accomplished!!! Accept rest. I went out for a little bit yesterday and ended up sleeping for 3 hours when I got home!!! The fatigue is what gets you. Marilyn has been telling me about that all along and I just couldn't imagine it. It's true!!! I'm almost ready for bed now and it's 8:15pm. I hope you all have a great evening and an even better tomorrow and remember to visit the church of your choice. Love ya. Oh yeah, the picture that I enclosed is my new hat that Jan gave me from church!! Thanks so much Jan.

Hello from the Johnson Household!! Well, I'm doing better-praise the Lord. White count is coming right on back up and my Hgb. was looking a lot better. I'm blessed. I've stayed in the house since I got home other than going out Monday to do my lab work. Cabin fever!! Today, I'm going to put on my clothes and not stay in my pj's and put up a few Christmas decorations in the house. I still have pumpkins out!!!! My strength is coming back but I don't want to overdo it for sure. Chemo # 5 is Monday after my visit with Dr. Brook's. He says I'm tough and I say it's God's strength that is making to tough, I can do ALL things through Christ that strengthens me. Christopher is off today so I'll have him buying a few Christmas presents for me-wish I was out there myself but that ain't happening!!! It's a beautiful clear day, hardly any breeze and it's about 56 degrees out there. Still pretty cool. Anyway, I wanted to keep you all updated with how things are in Texas We sure do miss the kids but they'll be back in about 3 1/2 weeks!!! Yeah!!! I hope you all have a wonderful day today and remember Jesus loves you!!!
