Update

I don't even know where to start with this post! It's been so long. It's late and I probably won't make sense. Things are going well for me. I'm looking forward to my tests in a couple weeks. I want to know what's going on inside.....

I'm watching an old episode of Seinfeld. It's such a stupid show, but I find myself laughing at it.

Chemo was earlier today and I saw my friend Carl. He was in a different pod, but I stopped to visit. He's still holding on to his great attitude. He always smiles when we talk and I find that so encouraging! Keep it up Carl.....we're going to win our battles!! :) "If God is for us, who can be against us?"

Oh yeah, my Hemoglobin was 12.1 today (normal range)! My white blood count was a little low, but it's never been extremely low. I just know when my hemoglobin is in the normal ranges I feel great.

This past week I found out about a 5 year old boy who was diagnosed with leukemia at the end of September. He has been undergoing treatments. Shawn is the son of a former coworker of mine when we lived in Louisville. See his blog at http://www.shawnbowen.net/. I could not imagine watching one of my children go thru that. I think that would be 100 times worse than what I'm going thru. Remember, currently I do not get sick from my chemo, nor am I in any pain. I just get fatigued because I don't sleep well on chemo days. There are so many who have it so much worse.....

Ok, now Malcolm in the Middle is on. I've never seen this show and it's well, shall I say, very interesting.

Hooray to all my friends in OK who participated in RFC this month. Thanks for sharing the photos on your blogs. I think of all of you often and am so proud of you for continuing to remember Melinda and walking in her name. Go Team Melinda!

My mom will be here tomorrow and I'm so excited. She hasn't been to visit and help since the beginning of August. My church family and neighbors have done a fantastic job of helping us out in the meantime. It will be so good to see her! We have a community yard sale this weekend and I've been preoccupied preparing and pricing items. There's so much to get rid of with Brandon outgrowing so much of the "baby" stuff. Plus the fact we just have too much stuff. It's supposed to cool off a bit this weekend so it should be a good weekend for shoppers!

I'm tired. I need sleep. Maybe I'll do better writing next time. Until then, adios mi amigos! (did I spell that right?)
