Nothing Short of Miraculous!!!!

Miracle #1 Friday we saw the oncologist after finishing our last radiation treatment that morning. He was so pleased with how well she was doing physically. He told her most people are wiped out physically at this stage! He said she was "nothing short of miraculous at this point." He told her she was in the "top 10 % of her class and top 5%"in how her wound looks! This is answer to all everyone's prayers. She is still active (takes only a nap or two a day). Walks well enough to go to the track, shopping etc. She has not developed yeast infections or stomach ulcers. The past few days even her memory has been a little bit better! She knows it is December and even the correct day on occasion. She can recall that Josh is at Boot Camp now some of the time. She seems a little less anxious over all as well.

Now we need to pray about the next MRI which will be sometime in Jan or Feb. We are praying there will be no new tumors and shrinkage of the old tumor. (Sometimes tumors can actually grow even with all the treatments.)

Miracle #2 Our neighbor and friend came over Saturday and did all the Christmas decorating while we were gone to Rosebud for Steve's family's Christmas. They put up a huge tree, decorated the mantle and rest of the living room. They hung wreaths, set up and entire village on the TV, put candles everywhere and left cookies! It was such a blessing to come in and have everything so beautiful. We were wondering when we were going to find the time to do all this. The teenage son even spent several hours in the play loft organizing the toys. (The kids had unloaded their toys from the boxes and scattered them all over the place. You could not even walk up there!) We have been so blessed with such wonderful people that have given so much. Everyone has done so many thing for us. It is very humbling and comforting at the same time. I can not thank all of you enough, from the rides to CARTI, meals, baby and mommy sitting, cards, notes, phone calls and visits. And most important the PRAYERS you say for my mom so often, THANK YOU!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

Miracle #3 It is Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
