Another Month In Macon...

It is official. Ty signed another month extention today. We will be staying on in Macon for at least one more month! We are grateful this opportunity presented itself, and hopefully, a job will come along within the next month so the last day of August can be his last day to have to wake up at 2:30.

Prayers Please...

Mom went to the doctor today and found out that she is still responding very well to chemo, which is great! Her CA125 is down to 100, another 50 point drop!

However, the doctor has informed her that if she has any more stomach pain, she is to go to the ER immediately! He is pretty confident that she has a kink in her bowels and he is afraid that it could rupture. So if there is any more pain, they are most likely doing surgery. Thus, we need to keep praying! Hopefully the new diet will help her to put the weight back on, and keep her bowels in good shape.

Thank you all for your prayers so far and please keep them coming. God has been with her every step of the way, and I know He will protect her again now. Love you all!

We're Home!

Mom is home from the hospital! She seems to be doing well, and we have her on the new stricter diet imposed by the doctors. I made some soup for her yesterday and she's already had a waffle and this "healthy shake" that is supposed to put the weight on...the only problem is I have now tasted the shake and like it so much I'm afraid I might start drinking it too.

I'll keep everyone posted on how she is doing, but for now, thanks to everyone for the continued prayers. She seems to be back on the mend!

What a Week!

WOW! What a week! I got a call on Monday that the doctors were putting mom back in the hospital. (She had another bad episode over the weekend of getting really sick and not being able to hold food down.) We have been here since then and they will either send her home tonight or in the morning, after they see how she does with more liquids and foods today.

She is a trooper! They put a tube down her throat on Monday to get everything off her stomach and they just started letting her have liquids early this morning. She is pretty darn hungry now and waiting eagerly for her first meal! (We like to eat in this family and it isn't pretty when doctors tell us not to.)

Thanks so much for everyone's prayers! I will post again to let everyone know how she is doing once I get her home and start shoveling some high calorie, easy to digest food down her throat to put some weight back on! Love you all and please keep praying...God continues to bring her through each of these trials with the best results possible and protects her each step of the way!

A Few Pictures from DC...

A few more pictures from our trip.

This is all Merrit's fault...

We went to see our friends in D.C. over the 4th of July and had an awesome time! However, while staying with Brett (one of Tyler's groomsmen) and Merritt (his wife), I got to take a peek at Merritt's blog and am now officially obsessed! Since I have no idea where Tyler and I will be moving and if we will be close to our friends and family, I have decided to undertake this as one of my "summer projects."
