All Clear!

As most of you know, my mom was diagnosed with lung cancer on January 10th of this year. Yep, one day after my birthday. We were very stunned as cancer does not run on Mom's side of the family. We prepared to fight this awful thing with all of our might! Mom is currently undergoing her 5th round of chemo with one left. Today we got the wonderful news that there are NO visual signs of the cancer!! Wooo! Woot!!!! WOOOOHOOOO! Can you tell how excited I am? I actually cried when she called me at work today! I think she was pretty excited that Dr. Field was talking to her about what happens after all of her chemo treatments are done. Mom is going to be set up with a personal trainer or after my wonderful husbands advice, maybe some phyical therapy! She has lost a lot of strength and energy due to the chemo, and is more than ready to get it back! You know the saying, "when it rains it pours?" Well, on April 1st, Jamie's mom was diagnosed with breast cancer! She is currently waiting results from a 3rd lab to find out if it is indeed cancer like the first lab said or precancer like the 2nd lab said. Yes, I have been very stressed this year! I am talking more college hours than I have before (with this degree), but I actually find that very helpful...it takes my mind off of things for awhile! Last, but certainly not least, I want to thank each and everyone of you for your kind thoughts, well wishes, and many prayers! Keep them coming because they are working!! I feel the Good Lord standing beside us and know that He will take care of us! Miracles are performed everyday, and there is no reason my mom can't be one of them! (Crap picture, but I LOVE her!)
