Graduation day

When today started Barbara was very weak She had no energy. She had no appetite. Today was the day she was to graduate from radiation (she still has 3 more treatments). They only do graduation on Wednesday. I was not sure Barbara had the energy to attend graduation Leanna and I went to graduation with her. Barbara seemed to have enough energy and jumped up when her name was called and gave a short speech. So she is the 762 person to complete proton radiation treatment in Oklahoma City.

Then she went to radiation. I had arranged for some friends to help me surprise Barbara. As many of you know we have been geocaching after radiation to reach 1000 geocaches. Well today when Barbara got done with radiation she was met by 15 people. We gave Barbara a gps and told her that her 1000th geocache needed to be found. Our friends Kim and Michelle had put 2 geocaches on the pro cure property. The first one had a coin that indicated that Barbara had found1000 geocaches. It also had a poem written by Mike Bolen about being a pebble in helping Barbara go through this cancer treatment. It then instructed her to go to another site which had the geocache logbook. Once Barbara found that she signed to logbook and then Kate (person who taught Barbara to geo cache) wrote First to find Barbara had never been the first to find on any of her 999 previous geo caches. Anyway with the help of Kim and Michelle Barbara not only got her1000th find but also got her (first to find). Thank you both for helping me to surprise Barbara.

I have posted pictures of Barbara with her coin and also (first to find)

Barbara seemed to gain strength throughout all of this. Yes she was still tired but she was alert and YES she was hungry again

We went to pick up some t shirts that we had made. Michelle is an artist and made a t shirt design about "Ladybugs Miracle Flight". Yes just like this blogs name we had these made so that we would be able to help support brain cancer research. You will notice that there are many nationalities and many different type workers all praying. In actuality we have had people from all over the world praying for Barbara. Also from all walks of life

Thank you for those prayers and please continue.
