Some GREAT days before chemo tomorrow

I haven't been posting for a few days because I've been busy njoying feeling GREAT and spending time with my family. :0) What a blessing it's been t feel WELL.

We had a wonderful 4th of July as a family. We missed Tyler, Kanaho and Aloysius, as Tyler had to work and Kanaho needed to be at the hospital with the baby. Thankfully, they were able to enjoy the fireworks with a great view from the hospital room, though. :-)

Today, we took the boys to the lake/beach for a few hours of fun on their 5th birthday. They had a GREAT time. We all did. :-) The baby loved the water and the swings. The twins did a bit of everything... swimming, digging in the sand, playground, picnic, more swimming...:-) And, I LOVED being in the lake and swimming with the kids. THAT was the ONE thing I was afraid that chemo would take away from me this summer.

God really blessed us today. There was a nice, consistent breeze at the lake and plenty of big shade trees to sit under. (With chemo, one becomes sensitive to the sun and has to be careful.) I'm so thankful and happy for how things were today!

After the beach, we rushed home to meet Tyler, Kanaho and my parents are house for a quick birthday party before Ty had to go to work. We had cupcakes and Tyler and Kanaho brought a yummy ice cream cake. :-) The twins opened presents from all of us and have had fun with their new toys.

Tomorrow, while Mommy and Daddy are at chemotherapy, big brother Tyler's going to come and play soccer and squirt guns with the twins. Kaylee will be babysitting for the day.

Please pray for my appointment tomorrow. We'll be discussing with the oncologist what happened last time (reaction to Taxotere) and what she'll recommend for a new chemo regimen. If it's all agreed upon, I'm scheduled for a 2:30 PM treatment tomorrow.

Also, please continue to pray for my grandbaby. He's still in the hospital and will be until at least Friday or Saturday. His grammie and aunt from Japan are due to arrive on Saturday. It'd be so good if he could be released by then so he and his mom can enjoy their time with family.

And, pray for the person close to me who has also been diagnosed with breast cancer. She has a really difficult road ahead as she has an aggressive tumor and needs a strong treatment regimen which will start very soon.

We appreciate the prayers of others so much!
