Melinda update

Melinda stayed in our basement for 6 days after her radiation treatment. We could not be near her much and that was hard to do. I am glad she was able to stay in our basement and not be around her kids.

Melinda has been a trooper. I think she has kept up her spirits and been very positive about everything. with that said, I also do believe that it has been very hard on her. Her hormones are out of control, and she gets so very tired. she is learning patience as we all are.

We would love to see everything back to normal and it will be soon. Melinda has great friends, and neighbors. But most of all she has a great husband who takes care of her, loves her and is helping as much as he can along with holding down the full time job, church responsibilities, and taking care of the kids.

We are waiting to hear back from the full body scan that she just had to see if all the cancer cells have been destroyed. in the meantime we are hoping they will be able to get her body to regulate the medicine and feel as though she has a working thyroid.

It will happen we are all sending love to our cute little Melinda. We love you.

SURPRISE Saturday!!!

I look like a glowing Alien, actually it was the scenery that we were trying to get I just had to sneek in.

We decided that since i do not have to go into work every Saturday anymore that Dougand i would take turns do something that is a surprise on Saturdays. I want it to be a Physical activity. Today we decided to go to Mueller Park it was so much fun! we started a little before 8am!!

Our son and his dog, just got to our house on Friday early morning, I was actually able to hug him for the first time in over a year. Yes it felt good to hold him. It is a funny thing that no matter how old they get you still remember the times they needed you so much, the times you held them, kissed the hurts away and just enjoyed the moments. Ahh the memories!! To all the moms out there with sons...enjoy the moments, they slip by really fast and before you know it you are looking at a full grown man.

We decided to go down stairs wake him up at 7am which I am sure he really loved!! He woke up agreed to go and we were on our way.

Can't wait to see what next "Surprise Saturday" will be.

Happy Halloween

I really like Halloween....it is so much fun to dress up and be someone else for a little while. All the grankids came over to our house, except for Shaylee (we missed her a lot) and Jaycee brought 2 of her friends with her. It started raining almost when they got done going around to everyones houses.

I actually had to pick up a person that was flying into Utah for my work...ugh!! I was a little frustrated as i was not able to go around with the kids, by the time i got to the house they were tired and ready to go home. At least I got to hug them all.
