I apologize again for it being so long. For those who don't know, I manage commercial landscape contracts on the west coast so this is my absolute busiest time of year.
No news is good news! Mom is doing well. There are still good days and bad. The bad days are more fatigue than anything (and its usually after she has pushed it:). She and Ken went "party hopping" from church friends to school parties one night this week and mom was feeling it but she had so much fun.
Mom has been very excited about her hair growing back. I called last weekend and she was out on the patio, no wig, reading a book and sunning. I know they are really looking forward to their vacation in less than a month.
I had to find out from Erica if everybody knows, and she said yes. I feel ackward sharing this for her but it is such a big part of our lives. We have been somewhere between cloud 9 and above the past month or so as we have anxiously awaited info from Phoenix on our newest addition. Erica and Michael are expecting in December! Mommy and baby are doing well at this point so please, as with any pregnancy, pray that everyone stays healthy. Erica says she feels its a boy so I guess we will find out in a couple more months, maybe a little less.
Mother's day was the best yet! Being that it was my 1st mother's day and mom's first GiGi's day it was very special. Haidyn had to stay on her schedule so she couldn't make it to church. Todd and I had the nursery 2nd service, so GiGi and Grandaddy went to 1st service then came and stayed at our house while Haidyn napped and we went to 2nd. We had lunch at the house and visited. I loved getting mom the "gigi collection" from premier jewlery from haidyn. I debated on what to get her. Then I debated on even getting her the necklace and earrings but when I saw the name of the set, well the decision was final. I hope GiGi likes it. And of course, Erica and Michael were greatly missed and spoken of several times.
Mom is still working every day except treatment days. She still has treatments every other week. I haven't looked at the calendar but it seems we should be getting close to a CT scan and results. We are all still praying that she will be cancer free. I know we are all very anxious to find out what the results are without the chemo drugs in the mix. Thank you for all your prayers. Please continue to pray for mom and now for erica and "baby Carroll".
