Well, it has been a few weeks since I’ve updated my blog. I guess I haven’t really had much to say – which I’m looking at as a good thing! I have felt pretty good. I still tire easily, get frustrated with my cosmetic challenges and have the occasional ache and nausea, but that severely pales in comparison to my great joy in not feeling any new knots around my eye/forehead area.
In the 6 or so weeks that we’ve been back into the swing of things, we have purposely tried to seize our days with fun activities. Our family has camped, canoed, hiked, ridden horses and had some one-on-time with some friends and extended family. We have been blessed with continued meals being brought to our home, and we even had a crew of 9 ladies from our church spend last Wednesday morning with me here at the house. 3 of the ladies planted fall flowers outside and the other 6 brought cleaning supplies and went to work throughout our entire house! Having 9 ambitious women working on our house for 2-3 hours resulted in our home being the cleanest it’s ever been, and allowed me the opportunity to bask in a tidy home while not having to lift a finger. I could get used to that! Thank you, ladies!!!
Jonathan and I will leave next Monday for Houston. We will have 3-4 days of appointments including: 2 CT scans, a PET scan, and appointments with the ophthalmologist, dermatologist, stem cell doctor and radiation oncologist. I have a peace within that all will be well. Please pray for clear scans, wisdom for each one of my doctors, and safe travels.
Here are some pictures of our activities – and maybe a couple of random ones . . .
I’m amazed that you’re feeling up to doing so much already! Thinking of you and hoping your appointments are going well this week. Praying that soon you will be able to put most of the daily worries behind you.
Glad to see you and the family enjoying life! Love it!! Safe travels to Houston and praying for good news.
We will be thinking of you as you travel back to Houston. All your prayer Angels will be working overtime. Love and Prayers from all of us here in Ga and Michigan.
