Quick Update

It's been a pretty good summer so far. We've spent lots of time outside with friends and my stepson is visiting for two weeks. Tomorrow morning Hallie's softball team is playing for the city championship. I can't wait to see this game! Whether they win or not, I am so proud of these girls. They have worked so hard. It's awesome to see my daughter excel in something that she enjoys so much.

This will be a hard weekend since we won't be able to visit my dad for Father's Day. The chemo has his WBC too low for him to be around people...especially children. This is very hard for him to take because he is such a people person. He goes for another round of chemo next Friday. We'll be on vacation, so I am hoping and praying that all goes well. He's had a good bit of pain lately, especially in his throat and neck where he had previously had radiation therapy. Some very good news is that his PET scan showed that the cancer has not spread to any other areas and is confined to one cluster of lymph nodes. I just can't wait until 4 months from now when we are all on the other side of this thing. We will be celebrating, that's for sure!

Well, I better get to bed. It's almost 1:00 a.m. and we have a big day ahead of us. As of Wednesday, we'll be headed to the beach and some QT with the fam and my bestest friend. I can't wait! Thanks to all of you for your encouraging comments and emails. I am truly blessed!
