One More Week!

One more week to go, that's all! I can't believe it! We're almost there! I know that Brian has a tough road ahead of him still, but to be able to be home to recover, that just sounds incredibly good to us right now!!

It wouldn't be right for me not to tell everyone that for the first time in my daughter's life, I had to not see her on her birthday. It makes me sad, but I know that Jess understands, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FIRST BORN JESSICA - THE BIG 29~~ LOVE YOU BUNCHES!

Brian has his nausea under control, his pain is under control, and is finally feeling better, and now the raw skin appears!! We of course expected this, but it just seems like he just got everything else under control and . . . . BAM! He was at the doctor yesterday, and he woke up this morning and both sides of his neck are peeling and looking like they are going to open up with sores. He saw the doctor again today to get some medicine for his neck, so hopefully that will keep the sores under control. But it's okay, we can get through this!! It doesn't hurt him yet, and of course hopefully the pain patch will take care of it. He can always put two patches on if the raw sores get too painful, so he will be okay.

Winding down to the end reminds me of how many wonderful people Brian and I have in our lives. We will never be able to thank everyone adequately enough. We will always remember the kindness that was shown to our family. We are truly blessed beyond measure.

With all that said, we found out last night that one of Brian's friends called and his dad has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer which is in his kidneys and spine. Brian and I both know the road ahead for them will be tough, but know that WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. I pray that Scott and his family know that prayers work and miracles happen every day and we will be praying for his complete recovery. I have a plaque hanging in my living room that says . . . . Miracles happen to those who believe.
