"REMARKABLE"

My husband was all geared up on Thursday to go in for his chemoembolization, we packed a suite case and was all ready for a 3 day stay, but after 20 minutes the doctor came out and said he did not need chemo at all and that he is responding remarkable to the NEXAVAR meds, that is a chemo pill he take 4 a day. We stayed for 4 hours while he re cooped from the cath. thru his artery in the groin area and then we were on our way to home sweet home. YAY!!! we were so happy and i am so relieved that he is doing so well.

My mother is getting better everyday, soon we will have the family back to one piece, god is good and he answers prayers that's for sure.


I stitched up this pillow case yesterday and added a little crochet trim to it, i love the way it turned out. I have started a baby afghan getting ready for our new little one, we don't know if boy or girl yet so i just bought some nice baby sport yarn that was on sale, i love the colors, but i am hoping i can go back and get PINK.

I will be going to Virginia at the end of this month to spend a week with my daughter, she has to have a cerclage(cervix stitched) so I will be with her to help her and take care of my dear turtle, I can't wait to see him, he called me today and sang twinkle twinkle little star to me. He is so sweet!

We are finally having that perfect Florida weather and I was able to get out and relax a bit today, but first I baked chocolate chip cookies for my husband and no I did not cheat. I am on week 9 of the diet and i have lost a total of 12.5 inches total, and 4.5 off my belly, I am so pleased with the way it is going, and I have been following my healthy eating habits so far.

Hope you all had a great week and weekend!

MOM UPDATE

Thank you all for your prayers for my mother during this time. She got home from hospital last night late, she will be doing rehab at home with an in home care nurse. They have now diagnosed her with osteoporosis, diabetes and her artery in her neck is 80% blocked, so they are trying to get her well enough so that she can go back in to the hospital in about 4 weeks or so to have her artery cleaned out. After all of this it is no wonder she was falling and her bones were snapping, I am so happy she has finally (or it seems) found some doctors that have gotten to the bottom of most of her problems.. My mother is a very strong woman and it truly takes a lot to keep her down, she has a great attitude about all of this and i am sure she will do well and soon be back on the dance floor!
