Then This Thursday

I’ll finish the details of the day later but wanted to share some great news before I “log off” & lights out! I didn’t have to go in yesterday to get poked for labs to check my levels, they just drew them this morning of my line after they accessed it (the numbing EMLA cream never really works but I’m getting used to the pokes. I can handle anything that only lasts for a second!). The nurse “ran the numbers” on the blood and they were good! Not low and not just “below normal but ok-ish enough”, they were normal!! PTL! Oh the little things in life that brings such joy! YAy! That means they get to keep pouring poison in my veins! 

It’s all perspective, right?!

Went right from chemo to Memorial Breast Care Center for mid-treatment mammogram & ultrasound to check the progress of the tumor tear down! ...Full results pending but the lymph node looks little at least!!


 Hitting the pillow after a full day! It started at 6:14 when I woke up before my alarm that was set for 6:20. It’s not the first time I’ve woken up about then but the first time in quite a while when I’ve actually gotten up! And this morning I decide not to wait the 6 minutes for my alarm but stay up since I didn’t want to wake up my hubby (who’d be up soon & I wanted to beat him to brewing!) & I’d already gotten up... to check the clock for how much for precious sleep time i had! But dreams came to an end and my dariair was in the air, up & moving...downstairs & onto the couch to listen to DBR (Daily Bible Reading as it’s affectionately known in our home). My sweet black lab always greets me & then we both settle in for some quiet time- I read or listen and he snuggles next to me while I do. This morning though he was panting like he’d just hiked the hills in this high noon heat! He kept pawing me to say “let’s go! I’m ready for a walk!” What happened to my chill dog?! Then I saw the answer...the empty brownie plate on the kitchen floor. While we all slept soundly in our beds, That stinker had reached up & grabbed the plate off the counter & proceeded to eat them all!

God is Good!

 Well I’m finally back. I have written SO many mental posts with updates and what’s God been teaching me!! Then when I finally get a minute to actually take them out of my mind and onto the screen, my mind bottlenecks and gets overwhelmed with all I want & need to write...it exhausts me & I end up concluding that I’m too tired and don’t have time to transcribe all that’s in my mind onto digital paper. But as I sit here alone at the Denver airport on a long layover en route to Atlanta to celebrate my sisters 50th, I’m starting! We both have September birthdays, hers being on the 10th. We decided to save the celebrating til my chemo was complete, hence the delayed timing of the trip. My younger sister who lives here in Colorado is on her way to meet me and we’ll fly this leg if the trip together! And my parents are traveling from Michigan to meet us as well! How crazy (& sad!) that we are all spread out across the country, coast to coast, north to south- we are so close r...

Song in my Soul

  Song in my Soul by Phil Wickham A dear friend sent this to me with her daily encouragement & prayer...I loved it from the first time I heard it! I hope you will too! There's a song in my soul ( how music goes deep into the core of who we are!) And I feel it stirring in me ( springing up from the well of His Word to satisfy the thirsty, he who drinks the Living Water will never thirst again!) This I know for sure ( faith is the assurance of what we know but don’t see) That Your love is like a flood ( washing & washing over me ! And Your mercy never ending ( “ The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” ‭‭Lamentations‬ ‭3:22-23‬)  I give my song to You ( “ Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants...Let them give glory to the Lord, and declare his praise in the coastl...
