Sorry I haven't blogged for a while. I had a little trouble with the Internet and I spent a couple days with some friends scrapbooking--that's so fun for me!

My health has maintained pretty well except for a little sickness last night and this morning--possibly because I didn't eat much yesterday. I've had my shots this week and got my blood drawn and I will have chemo on Thursday. I am still working on the disability issues to allow me to get back to work. Please continue to pray about that! Thank you and God bless each of you!!!

Well, I found out from the Phys. Asst. that one of the reasons I have been getting sick is because my potassium level is low, so I was put on medication.  I had chemo today and I slept the majority of the day.  I feel good though!

I want to thank the anonymous person who sent me the cute flowers, that was very nice.  I continue to enjoy the cards and acts of kindness.  Your prayers always encourage me!

I have been trying to keep cool for the past couple of days, which meant going to the movies today.  I wish I could say that I'm not getting sick anymore, but I did get sick this morning--YUK! I hope that will eventually go away.

I have chemo this Thursday, so please pray for that and also, I am trying to go back to work without messing up my disability insurance, and I would really appreciate your prayers for that also.  Thank you for your support.

Hi, I know I asked all of you to be praying for the outcome of my Pet scan on Thursday, then I didn't blog until today.  I'm sorry about that--my niece, Tiffany got married and I have been occupied with that--It was absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!!   

The doctor and the Pysician's Asst. were both very excited that the report indicated that my body is responding very well to the chemo.  The new Pet scan showed great improvement, but the doctor recommends I remain taking chemo for 4 more months (4 rounds), then he will have another Pet scan at that time.  I still may need chemo after that but he will determine that after these next 4 rounds.

I was hoping to go back to work very soon, but now I have to be sure that I do what is necessary according to my disability insurance.

I am so confident that the Lord is answering all our prayers and I know He will continue to, so I humbly request your continued prayers for the next 4 months.  Your love and support are truly appreciated!!!  

I got up early this morning to have my Pet scan and I had to fast for six hours prior to the test. When I don't eat, I get sick, so as we walked up to the building, I was casually getting sick over the planter.  When that was over, the Pet scan went fine.

I had to get my blood drawn on the way home, then when I got home, I took a nap for a while. The appt. with my doctor will be this Thursday at 1:45.   Please pray for the results of the Pet scan and the appt. with my doctor.

I appreciate each and every one of you and thank you for continuing to pray for me!!! 

I had a nice weekend.  I went to my high school reunion with my two friends from high school and then Sunday spent the day watching Kelsey play water polo.  I guess I was pretty tired because today I didn't wake up until 11:00, which really surprised me.  Yesterday I had gotten sick in the morning, but felt better when it was time to go to Kelsey's games.  Today I have felt very well and I didn't even have that tingly feeling in my ribs that I have most of the time.

Tomorrow morning I have my Pet scan and then I will see the doctor on Thursday to determine if I'm ready to go back to work.  I sure feel ready to go back!  Please pray for the results of the Pet scan--thank you!!!!!!

I am required to have a Leukine shot on the two days following my chemo, so today was my 2nd shot.  After that I went out and enjoyed a movie.  The Dr. has ordered a pet scan for next week to see how my body is reacting to the chemo, so please keep me in your prayers regarding the results of this new pet scan, and also that I will be released to go back to work.  Thank for continuing to support me and pray for me, I am truly blessed which makes me very thankful!!!

We had an awesome cruise.  We had some rocky seas all night the first night and morning (the only day we weren't stopping at a port) and Kelsey and I were both sick that morning.   The rest of the time I had a lot of strength during the day but definitely needed a nap before dinner and usually went to bed early too.  The only other time I got sick was after breakfast on the last day.

The sights were gorgeous and we saw 2 brown bears, several orca (killer) whales, and a lot of bald eagles.  We took a ton of pictures so I hope I can show them off pretty soon.  The glaciers are amazing and the late-night sunsets (10:00 - 11:00pm) too.  I don't have enough adjectives to describe the beauty all around Alaska.  We all had a fantastic time.

Thank you for your prayers and sorry it took so long to blog--I forgot my password until today.
