Good evening. It was a beautiful day today. It was cloudy and breezy and cool. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous.

David did really good in the pool today. He tries really hard, I am so proud of him. He is such a wonderful kid, and I am glad he is mine. He has been eating fantastic! Yesterday I made him a 'taco hamburger' which is a hamburger bun with taco meat and cheese inside. He ate 4 of them!! Today he only ate 2. But he is eating quite well, and we are happy about that. For breakfast he has been eating an egg, bacon, and cheese on a toasted english muffin. He would have NEVER eaten like this a year ago. It does my 'mother heart' good to see him eat.

He is not looking forward to going to San Francisco and Oakland; not that I blame him. I am getting 'scanxiety' big time!! I know David is in God's hands, but that doesn't take away the fear I have. Please pray that David's scans come back clear!! Thank you.

Please continue to pray for Sammie. They have decided that her little body just can't take any more chemo. They are in the hospital fighting some infection and other problems, and they just want to go home and surround Sammie with friends and family. Please, please pray for that family. Thank you.

Well, I need to go get ready for tomorrow, it is going to be a busy day. I have my nail appointment (my girls are paying for my nails), then I have to rush home and get David to the orthodontist, then we come home so David can have breakfast, then we go to PT, then I have to finish the laundry and cleaning before we leave on Thursday. We will be leaving bright and early~~well, it might not be bright! But it will be early; we leave at 5:30am!! Hopefully we will get a good night's sleep tomorrow night.

Thank you for visiting and checking in and up on us. Please continue to pray for our children in this battle; Sammie, Shane, Muriel, Meghan, Nick, Sonya, Mattie, Rachel, and others (God knows their names). Thank you. God bless you. We love you.
