Good Days

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." --Phillippians 4:6-7

It's been difficult with no major symptoms from the infusion to feel it is actually doing something! Mind you...I'm not complaining!! This is so different from the last battle. The toxicity was so intense last time. Now, being more tired and somewhat weaker are the only symptoms I'm having. Actually, I don't know if that's from the ipilumumab or the cancer...kind of scary.

We are all trying to live one day at a time...enjoying each one for it's simple pleasures and trusting God with the rest.

I've had some incredible days since I posted last. We spent last weekend with my sister and her family at the lake and enjoyed it so much! Her friend generously allowed her to use their house for our enjoyment. We had so much fun in the water, on the jet skis (Amy and Kel, you have too much of your mother's blood in you!) and enjoying good food! It was sure a full house!!! There were many memories re-visited and many new ones made.

Got to eat lunch with Heather and the kiddos today....always special to spend time with them....we sure all love Olive Garden! Eddie would call it the Guccioni in us!

Looking toward spending a little time at the Gasconade County Fair next week...seeing people, watching Mason and the kids on the rides, and watching Blake and Brett show their pigs!

A down note has been becoming aware that I can no longer watch Mason and Ava for long by myself. My 'stroke' (right) leg has been weaker lately and I don't trust myself very much. I don't know if anyone can understand how hard it is to come to this realization, but there would be nothing worse than one of the grandkids getting hurt because of me. They are all (all 10 of them!) infinitley precious to me. Fortunately, I've had offers of help from several people so that I can still be with the kids. For these offers.....thank you.
