Hi everyone,

Mom has been feeling fantastic this week and looks and feels a million times better than she has in a long time. She has been out and about visiting friends , shopping, doing starbucks and playing with Sawyer.  Mom has been doing her part to get healthy; she has been eating lots of greens, going for walks, and trying to get in lots of time to rest.  Mom has also been enjoying shooters. However, these shooters are a little different than what she used to enjoy! She has been taking wheat grass shots from Booster Juice after finding out that they are jam packed with awesome stuff!  She still has a great head of hair that she is being very nice too, but has her wig she’s lovingly nicknamed “Meme” on standby.

Our whole family appreciates so much the support from all of you. We have enjoyed many delicious, healthy meals, as well as flowers and other thoughtful gestures.

The next step in terms of treatment is on Wednesday of next week. Mom will have blood work done to ensure she is  responding well and ready for round 2 of chemo. Her next chemo is scheduled for Friday, July 20^th. For those of you who have been praying for mom, please be sure to pray for good news and good results with Wednesday’s bloodwork.

Mom’s birthday is coming up, and if all goes well, shell be spending her 29^th birthday having chemo. Her 3^rd round of chemo is set for August 10^th.

Lately, we have been enjoying time together at the lake, as well as in my parents yard. Sawyer has been having fun with Fabulous Friday’s (Friday’s with Grammie, Sawyer and Pappy too when he can finish up his workweek a bit early.) Mom is excited to meet Grandbaby number 2  who is scheduled to meet us mid-late August.  Dad has successfully quit smoking (as far as I know!) and loves his ecigarette and gum! All of us are doing well and looking forward to seeing mom over the next hurdles she has ahead of her next week.

Thanks again!
Amanda
