Sunday

Sunday is church day. Barbara got up and said she was too tired to go to church. Right before time to go she woke up and said she needed to go teach her Sunday School class. So she did. She had 4 young men today. Leanna and Brian helped her teach then we all went to church service

It was from the book of Ruth and was about the mother Naomi

Then we went to lunch with Brian and Leanna. They headed home and we came back to take naps.

I like taking a nap. That is one of the benefits of taking care of someone who is tired. We both get to take naps

We sorted t-shirts today Tomorrow I will send them out. So if you ordered a ladybugsmiracleflight t-shirt they will be on their way tomorrow

Saturday

We had a party tonight. 22 weeks ago the doctor told Barbara that she had 11 weeks to live if she did not have surgery and chemo. He said she had only 22 weeks if she had surgery chemo and radiation

She may be tired but she still very much alive. We thank God for that.

Anyway Leanna wanted to celebrate with Barbara so we has a 22 celebration party

So we had a fire in the fire pit and roasted hot dogs and bratwurst Then we had cake and ice cream and s'mores

I think 32 helped us celebrate

Sunday is coming so we have to get some sleep so we can learn from the Pastors message

Friday

Leanna and Brian were here so we had a good day. We tried to keep Barbara sitting with her legs up to reduce the swelling. It began to work.

We were able to relax a little. Barbara and Leanna took naps while Brian and I played golf. It felt good to hit the ball and be out on a golf course

Looking forward to another day that Got has prepared for us



Thursday

We had a good day today. I didn't feel well this morning so I took two naps. Barbara took naps just to bond with me

She did pretty good today. She is just tired. We went to the physical therapist today and we have an appointment for an evaluation next week.

We did get everything unpacked and most of it washed

Barbara's blood sugar is still high so we are monitoring that also the swelling in her legs is going down as she sits with her legs elevated

Wednesday

Home sweet home

We just made it home. We had a full day
First weenie David's dog ran away. Sarah a I found him. The Barbara and I went to see our family doctor. She was worried about:
1. Low blood pressure
2. High blood sugar
3. Swollen feet and legs
4. Osteoporosis made worse as a result of steroid usage
5. Tested Barbara for a UTI

Then we rushed to pickup the ladybugsmiracleflight t-shirts. I now have all those that you ordered. If you want me to send it to you it will be $15.50. For shirt and shipping

Then we went to meet dr Keole at procure. The had a fire on the second floor so we had to evacuate the facility. We have an appointment in July. He wants to see Barbara in the month that dr Fink does not. That way they will be able to monitor her closely

So we made it home and Barbara has already gone to sleep

He appetite is still great and she is still tired

God has been good to us and we think we have great doctors.
