This time last year...

I know many of us would rather just put it behind us, but I think it's important to think back one year ago. And think about how mom was doing health-wise, how she was feeling, how she looked... It was not a pretty sight. Everyone of us wanted to think the absolute best outcome, but to be honest it was difficult (sometimes). The good news however, is when we stop remembering the past and start focusing on the present and seeing how well Mom is doing 1 year later. One year after all of those grimm reports, tests, and some jerk gave her only a few months.

At this point Mom is doing great. She just finished her 4th chemo and is set for 2 more treatments every 3 weeks. Aches and pains are really the bulk her side affects, but they don't slow her down for too long. Once she's finished with these next few chemo's the doctor has prescribed one chemotherapy a month for a whole year so that she can knock anything and everything out of her system. And at this point I don't even have to tell you her outlook. She continues with her steadfast ways, and won't let anything get her down... well maybe one thing.. PLEASE TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF WHEN YOU COME IN OUR HOUSE!!! That's about it though!

In the past few weeks, we've had a few additional TEAM JLO Supporters and I know Charlie is going to recognize them in a blog shortly. But I just wanted to ask that in this season of giving, only if you are able to donate just $10/$15 that would surely help us towards our goal. Times are tough, and money is tight (I'm finally starting to learn that with the purchase of my first new car), but life above all is most important. So keep the prayers and good thoughts coming!!

From our family to yours... HAVE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY HOLIDAY SEASON!!!
