Hello everyone, the kids had to go back to Maryland on Saturday. The child exchange went well but of course Christopher had protection this time. Thank you Maryland State Police. We had such a great time with them this summer. They are so sweet and we love them so much. I just took the day off sort of. Did some laundry, prayer time, and just rested. Kimberly wants us to eat supper with her and the kids tonight at Cotton Patch Cafe so we'll meet her in a little bit. Not much else going on at this time-I'm doing well. My scans were good and my Herceptin continues for awhile. I don't know when it will quit either so that's good. I hope you all have a wonderful day and I'll be more faithful to write more often.

I do have something new. Sadie is drinking from a straw now and is only 5 1/2 months old. I'm so proud of her. Little sugarfoot girl. I'll post a picture of her taking my straw and not letting go of it!!

Boy how the time has flown by!!!! I last wrote in July and now it's August 8th. Let's see, from the last time I wrote I've traveled about 3000 miles!!!! We went to Chicago-driving !!! Kimberly, Zachary, Sadie, Caleb, Caitlyn, Clayton-my brother, Freddie-caregiver, and me. Bryan flew up a few days later. Everyone was SOOOO good!!! We had a great time and the kids got to meet all their cousins that they had never met before. They had such a great time catching frogs, chasing animals, etc. My brother has a pond and 8 1/2 acres and I think they covered most of it in the days that we were there. I got back from Chicago, and then left for New Orleans to be with my brother for an angiogram. It went well and we will probably only have a minimally invasive heart procedure. Praise the Lord. Got back on Sunday night and left Monday morning for Texoma to be with some friends at their timeshare for a few days. We also went up to Turner Falls for the day. I'm going to try and go back one more time before the kids go back. They really had a great time. I have my next PET scan on Wed. and will have the results by next Tuesday. Then I have my mammogram and visit with my breast surgeon. I'm wondering about where we go from here as far as my treatments go. I feel the PET is clear and clean, I'm just curious about what we do from here-if anything. I'm so loving my new church. Our VBS was totally wonderful. I'd LOVE to have you visit my church even by internet. The site is www.cbclucas.org. We have a video ministry and you can sign up for free and watch our sermons online. We have people from all over the world that watch. Even soldiers in Afganistan, Iraq, etc. Check it out. I'm going to go-oh by the way-pray for my PET scan please, results and then also remember our doggie, Duchess. She again has more cancer that is going to be removed Friday. She got groomed today by a friend that is just getting into the trade and she did an incredible job!!!! Thank you so much Helen. If your dog needs grooming, let me know and I'll pass on her phone number. Love ya'll!!!
