Wow, that was so exciting to get 7 comments on my blog.  One was from my little girl I sponsor in Brazil and wsxwhx716, will you please reveal your identity.  All of you re such a huge blessing to me!!!!

I went to the dr. today to get chemo and have my Zomeda infusion.  The dr. informed me that my Calcium count is too high and if it increases any more, I will have to go to the hospital to get it regulated.  Also my cancer markers are increased, so we are going to do one more round of this chemo that I'm on to give my body a little relief, then I will have another PET Scan and probably put me on a more powerful chemo.  I know you're all praying, we just have to be patient for His perfect timing.  I still feel really good, I go to work every day except Thurs. (my day off for dr. appts.), and I have actually been able to stand for a longer period of time.

After chemo today, my mom and I went to lunch, then went shopping for a new dress for a black-tie event for my niece, Megan this Sat.  I found what I wanted and didn't get too tired from the shopping.

I know you're all anxious to see the hair, it's just so hard to catch Kelsey long enough to take pictures.

I continue to covet your prayers and I am so thankful to have all of you in my life and supporting me tremendously!!!  I humbly thank each and every one of you for everything!!!

Hi everyone!  I certainly feel the prayers at work.  I had chemo on April 1st and I had a vomiting episode on Wed., April 7th just when we were going to the airport on our way to New Mexico.  Kelsey and I went to visit our old neighbors and meet their youngest child (1 yr.)  We didn't let that get in the way and we had a fun time!  We got back Sat. afternoon and I have been feeling wonderful since then--no pain from my compression fractures, nor anywhere else. 

I went to the orthopaedic doctor on Thurs. and he said my leg is building up strength slowly so I will continue to use my brace for 4 more months and keep exercising it.  I have been walking so well without my walker or my cane, and I believe that is from having some relief with the compression fractures in my back.

I have been feeling so great, I can't believe I can still have cancer.  I know your prayers and support are healing my body.

Oh, I ditched my wig last Wed. night.  Currently I am a short-haired red head.  I truly hope Kelsey will help me change my pictures very soon and you can see it.  I like not having to wear the wig, but it is short.  So far, people have been so nice and telling me they really like it.  I like it a lot.  I am very thankful for my family and friends, you are all such a blessing to me!!!!!
