Good evening.
First off, we did NOT go camping this weekend. The weather turned cold and VERY windy!!! The cold wasn't necessarily the problem, it was the wind. It was just too windy. So, we stayed home. But we did go to the Aces game on Saturday. That is a long story, so hold on. It was windy and raining when we left, so we had a feeling the game would be called. We got there and went to our suite to wait and see what would happen. We were glad we had the suite, it was warm and dry in there. Well, we saw that the infield cover was on, so we continued to suspect that the game would be called. Then some guys came out and started removing the cover........they needed to drain the water off of it. Then they covered the infield again. The game was supposed to start at 7:05, and around 7:15 they took the cover off the infield, folded it up, and then rolled it up to fit into it's case. Some players came out and were signing autographs, etc. Then I noticed they were unrolling the cover again. Then they proceeded to unfold it and put it back on the infield. It was still raining; then it turned to snow. Well, needless to say, they called the game around 8:30. So we didn't get to see the game. They played a double header on Sunday, but we didn't have tickets for that game. It was a very cold weekend. When I woke up on Sunday, it was snowing. Then it was windy, cloudy, rainy, snowy, etc. all weekend. Today was a better day, weather wise. It was still cold, but we had some blue skies. The unofficial first weekend of summer??? Not here!! We froze this weekend. But it was a nice 3-day weekend. We all enjoyed having the day off today. For dinner we had BBQ'd burgers, potato salad, baked beans, and fruit salad. My favorite thing about summer is the fruit!! We had watermelon, cantaloupe, apples, blackberries, raspberries, grapes, and strawberries in our fruit salad. Yumm-o!! It was a good day.
Well, scanxiety has hit us up the side of the head; big time!! Bryon and I were talking, and we are just so tired of living scan to scan. We are tired of being scared every 4 months. We are tired of never being able to relax. Basically, we are just tired. We know this will NEVER end. This is our life for as long as David is alive. Of course, we prefer this to the alternative, but still. Please pray for us. Please pray that the tumors in David's lungs are stable. Of course, we are praying for a miracle that the tumors are gone, but at least stable. Thank you.
We are so not looking forward to Friday. It is going to be such a long day. We will have to leave home at 4am. Of course, that means getting up around 3! And we have NO idea what time we will be home. It will be such an exhausting day. We really wish we could stay over night, even if we stayed Friday night, but we just can't! I would really covet your prayers for our safety. Again, thanks so much for your prayers.
David is so excited to be almost done with school. We can't believe how fast time is passing, and he graduates in less than 2 weeks!! He will be writing his speech this week. Please pray that God gives him the words to say; and that God calms his nerves when he is giving his speech. He is not looking forward to speaking, but he is so excited to graduate! We still can't believe it. Like I have said many times, he wasn't expected to live long enough to graduate, so for him to reach this milestone is a miracle. David is our miracle child, from conception on. I just can't express how big of a deal this is.
Please pray that David is able to concentrate this last week and a half of school. His last day is June 9th, and he is counting down the days!! He is so ready to be done with school. He hasn't really had a long break from school since he started High School! Since he was diagnosed in October of his Freshman year, he has had a rough road his entire High School 'career.' He isn't, at this time, planning on going to college, and I don't blame him. He needs a break! We will stand behind him and support him in whatever decision he makes.
That is about it for now. Thank you for all your prayers. Thank you for continuing to read this site. Thanks for 'being there' for us these past 3 1/2 years. Please don't give up on us, we still need your prayers. We especially need then when scan time comes around. Thank you for everything. Have a good week. God bless you all. We love you. {{hugs}}

Whether their children are in remission, cured, or still in treatment, parents of kids with cancer never really relax. Your mind tells you if it happened once, it could happen again.
