With students being off for Spring Break and holy week holidays, April has turned into quite a busy month for us. Two weeks ago we went to Tampa to see Monica & Brian and their kids. Here's my mom with Noah, Luke, Simeon, Jael, Skyler, and Eve.
This week my mom decided she really wanted to spend Easter with Lula & Dave and their kids in Lakeland so off we went! There and back in one day...can you believe it?!
My mom made sure to bring her Easter bonnet which featured pictures of all fourteen grandkids.
The Peoples were totally surprised. My mom has spent the last seven (at least) Easters with them and she wouldn't let a little thing like distance get in the way of that streak.
Dave had an Easter bonnet, too. Oh yeah, we had a good time.
Of course, we had another round of chemo after that. Treatment last Monday/Tuesday was business as usual but my mom had to go in again later that week for shots to boost her WBCs and hemoglobin levels. As far as treatment goes my mom has to complete one more round of chemotherapy and then the week after that we expect to go in for a CT scan. After that scan we'll have a better idea of what the tumor looks like and what the next steps of treatment will be. Until then, we will keep on keepin' on.
After last week's stay at the Sylvester Center we had the pleasure of even more family fun. Because my nephew Ethen was on spring break, Ricky & Alison and their kiddos came to see us in Margate!
We had a great time taking trips to the park & the pool.
Thanks again, friends, for caring. It means a lot to us that you're interested in what's going on with my mom and our family during this time. Until next time...
Praises/Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for our good friend, Archbishop Bruce Knox, who is recently dealing with some health issues of his own. We love him and ask for healing and peace for him and his family during this time.
- Please continue to pray for our friend Buddy's progress. Keep up the good work, Buddy!
- Please pray for my mom's continued good health & spirits. Her progress is steady and we are anxious to see what the results of the CT scan will look like. So I guess that means you can also pray for patience and good news!
- Praises - We are grateful for good family and good friends. We are also looking forward to another week off after this next round of chemo.
