First full day without the boys! More than a little weird but know for sure Jacob is having a blast with sister and family and I hope ben is doing the same away at camp!

Good day for me, exhaustion waning, feeling better!

Blessings!

Today our boys go off to.camp! I am really nervous but excited for the possibilities that the experience  holds for them. Ben to church camp for a week and Jacob is off to spend the week in Gainesville with my sister and her family. They are super excited and sleep was a challenge for them both.

Blessings!

So happy to be in church today! Happy Sabbath All!

Blessings!

Another good day, a little tired but doing okay. Very active again so unsure if fatigue is from Chemotherapy or activities.

Blessings!

Yesterday, I received yet another miracle from God. Woke up at 4:30 and got everything organized and dropped the kids to school to get to hospital for early chemotherapy to ensure that we could get done and get to Ben’s school for his final day of fifth grade clap-out ceremony. Well, despite some good planning, and solid sacrifice things did not go as planned. Completed blood-work on Monday to ensure that all that would need to happen yesterday is for pharmacist to see me and mix and warm chemotherapy drug to get started. Well, took a while to warm drug, oncologist also ordered more fluids than last time, everything was going to take longer! By 1 o’clock I was really discouraged and I let myself cry a little because I had tried so hard. But it was not over, Becky, our nurse did some truly creative things (in consult with oncologist) and by 2:15 she had me in a wheelchair scuttling through the bowels of the hospital on our way to Ben’s clap-out. I love how God works things out even when we come down to the wire! I also truly love how people partner with him, no matter what, to help accomplish something that is personally important to someone else, even if not a HUGE deal in the grand scheme of things! Thanks Becky, you helped one 5th grade mom and dad be there for their boy’s final day, that’s a HUGE deal in my book!

As usual, through it all Huey was his usual calm and sure self doing quietly creative things including weighing in with the team to ensure that we were BOTH going to make it to the clap-out. He knew how important it was for me to be there and even though I had told him to leave me at the hospital and come get me later to ensure that Ben wasn’t missing both parents, he would not take that option. WE both were going to be there, and we were! God knows who I needed and gave me you!

Grateful for HIS Blessings!

We are on our way to chemotherapy session today. We are praising God for His grace and trusting him with today’s session.

Blessings!

So grateful to God that he allowed us to celebrate Bens moving up from elementary school today! I was able to attend and even went out to eat afterwards!

Also had fantastic results from yesterday’s blood work. Based on the numbers,chemotherapy is on tomorrow! Looking to October, also looking forward to Ben’s clapout tomorrow, what a blessing!

Blessings All!

We are so grateful that God allowed us to celebrate 18 years of marriage and a quarter century of being together. He knew what I needed and gave me YOU! I love you Uriah Millen, a whole ton load!

Had a good day yesterday, lots of family to visit, aunts and uncle and they came bearing fruits. Brother and family still in town so we got to see them too! Been a little fatigued but no nausea or vomiting, thank God!

Today promises to be a great day too! My boys represented at the 5k and all had phenomenal times! Brother and family leave today, but we are grateful for the time they spent!

Thankful for such a smooth transition into chemotherapy.

Blessings!

Today I am doing okay. I do have a bit of diarrhea but no nausea or vomiting, thank God. Exhaustion no worse than before chemotherapy. I am grateful that I am doing okay, all told.

Blessings!
