It is the end of an up and down weekend... oh there's that roller coaster again!

I have been dealing with this pain coming from my right drain but it comes and goes now.  I have been waiting for these drains to produce only 30 cc so I can have them removed finally and we may have gotten to this point!!!  I will be calling Dr. Lu the minute I know this is true because I want them GONE!!!  When they are taken out I will feel so much more human and be able to be comfortable in my new body.

The news from my doctor's appointment on Friday was a lot to deal with!  I am still trying to process it all and know what it means.  I have cried quite a bit because I wanted to be able to scream to the world that I was cancer free!!!  Instead I am facing the fact that I will have it a part of my life.

I was blessed to have a baptism celebration to go to on Saturday with my family.  This was a great distraction for me and I was so lucky to have some of the best medicine-- loving baby Levi and even feeding him once.  Babies really are the sweetest medicine for me because they are pure unconditional love!  We also were able to join the family today at the baptism in Milburn, IL.  It was a fabulous service with a beautiful baptism and only the adults had tears of joy because Levi was not phased by the whole thing.

Lunch was spent with my cousin, Amy who is a missionary down in Guatemala, my aunt, cousin Brian, Brad, Mom and Dad, and us.  It is always so wonderful to spend time with Amy!  She is such a blessing in my life and we loved catching up and seeing each other as we have both been concerned about each other.  Her safety is always of great concern and she has not seen me since I was first diagnosed.  I am also re-energized every time I am able to be with the family for whatever type of get together we have. 

Thank you to everyone for all your love and support!
