The week is looking up...

The #2 man in my life is Dr. Spell...Yesterday he gave me new antibiotics, new nausea meds, new steroids and new cough syrup...the bag of tricks is empty!!  But I was able to get a break from the coughing last night and I slept most of the day.  Life is good!!

Hopefully by the 5th chemo on Feb 28, I'll be back to full fighting mode!  I know my last post was very honest - painfully so, but I realized that I needed each and every one of your comments, Facebook posts and emails.  I was constantly reminded that I'm not in this fight alone - and being surrounded with love - from far and near is essential right now.  It makes each hour a little easier.

Look at my strong girls at the Kids Race for the New Orleans marathon...They were all about the medals!!!





The girls can't wait until I can register for the race too!  They are ready for all four of us to do a race as a family.  They don't know just how happy that will make me!

Yahoo!! The evil x's are gone and I can post!! You go girl. You know we are all behind you cheering you on. I know this was a low point for you this week, but look at it this way---UP is the only direction now.

Hoping easier days are near. My daughter ran her first half marathon on Sunday and when she came past he finish line I couldn't help but think of you.

Just read your last 2 postings and there is NOTHING more beautiful than the courage and honesty you share with us! You are a marvel and an inspiration! I continue to pray that things will get better for you.

Yeah for meds! Glad the cough is better and that you are getting some rest. I will be standing on the sidelines next year with my camera in hand watching you run that race.
