16 weeks. Wow!

Hard to believe it been 16 weeks since that last Chemo Day! Time Flies! Well here's the latest update on the girls. They have had their final fill. These things will be coming out on August 12. Yay! These Hard Bricks will be out. It will be a quick surgery. It will be outpatient and sent home with meds. Hopefully this will be a breeze. No tubes coming out my sides and no milking the tubes. I sure hope I can bath and dress myself. That was tough having people to do that for me.

Well, I am in the Mts. this weekend enjoying a much need quiet family time. We plan to eat sweet potato pancakes at Joey's Pancake House! Then play in the river on tubes in Cherokee! Go to my favorite thrift store and General Store in Waynesville. Going to visit with my Aunt and cousin too! Hopefully have a visit from my Aimee and her kiddos. Sing songs around the ol' campfire. Soak in those last few summer days before my next surgery and kids go back to school! I will snap a pic and post for you a few highlights from our trip next week! 

Love Ya! Be a light in this dark and broken world!

I leave us with this: 

 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”
Romans 10:9-10 NIV

13 Weeks Post Chemo

Hello! Hope you've been loving summer as much as I have! It's so great to spend time with my family and not be on a crazy schedule! We have been doing VBS, went with Spence to Panama City for work and a vacation. Then continue our trip with him in Alabama for the weekend as he played in a Casino. We took a little drive on July 4 to see the battleship. Today we are on our way home to reality! 7 Full Day away from my bed has been long enough! We are somewhere in Alabama headed North on 65 and it is stop and go! So I decided to snap a pic to show my hair progress and blog a bit! 
It's might not look much different to you it its longer on the sides and I can run my fingers through my hair and see lines in it. 

Well here is the latest info on the "girls".
Went to the Doctor and they wanted me to wait a week. I told them I would be on Vacation so it would have to wait another week! July 16 I should either get a final fill or set a surgery date for a few weeks out! 
Either say it's a win win! I am ready to close this chapter. I am ready to put this in the past and focus on the future! I will never take a day for granted again! Life is too short and priceless!
Blessings to you!
