Re-Post

Here is my post from last Memorial Day. I guess I am being too lazy to come up with new thoughts on the holiday. Maybe next year. But I am adding a video. Anyway, I do hope you all have a safe and fun day. :)

There are many of you today who are either at the beach or the lake, or somewhere on vacation for this Memorial Day Holiday. And many of you are just at home like me enjoying your day off. Others will have cook-outs today or will take advantage of all the great sales! But let's not forget the reason we observe Memorial Day. Let us not forget the men and women who have given their lives for this country and for the ones who are still fighting as we speak. We should also take today to remember the One who made the ultimate sacrifice for our lives and freedom.
Happy Memorial Day!

The Last Treatment

We are all so thankful because my mother-in-law had her last radiation treatment yesterday! Although, she is probably more happy than the rest of us. :) The treatments ended at just the right time. For the past few weeks she has been unbelievably tired and was having trouble swallowing. Jeremy grilled steaks last night and we celebrated! She will go next week to have another scan to see what the area looks like. Then she will start her chemo pill which will be different for her. We're not sure how it will affect her, but we know it will be better than when she had regular chemotherapy the first round 3 years ago. Thanks to all of you who have expressed concern and lifted up prayers. We appreciate it that more than you know. I will update next week after she has her scan, so keep her in your prayers one more time!

Happy Mother's Day!

PS- Thanks for the prayers for our granddads. We still haven't gotten the test results back on my granddaddy. Unless my parents have just forgotten to tell me, which is possible! As for Jeremy's papa, they are holding off on surgery for now. Thank God for the anesthesiologist and his general doctor who didn't think surgery was the right thing to do at this time because of his heart! And he has now been referred to a cardiologist to see if he could even make it through surgery! Not sure why the surgeon was just going to forge ahead; it's quite concerning and makes me angry. Anyway, I will let ya'll know more when I do! Thanks again for your care and concern. :)
