Hello again to all my friends! I decided to update a little since 6 months have gone by since my last update.
I am still feeling good and healthy. Had a ct scan done the first part of December and no signs of that ugly cancer still! I am blessed! Dr. Redrow has put me on a 4 month checkup schedule now , so I go and get new ct scan sometime in March. He said after that we may start a 6 month schedule! My eyes got big but he said not to worry that I am doing great. There is still that little nagging in the back of my head about a little cancer cell just sitting around somewhere in my body waiting for the right opportunity! I must not fret! I did end up getting the flu even after having had my flu shot in October! Dakota tested positive for flu the last week of December(he also had had a flu shot in October!) so I must have caught it from him! Some kind of strain that the flu shot didn't prevent! I felt pretty bad for a couple of weeks!
A big thing has happened in my every day routine though! Starla and Aaron have moved to Pennsylvania! Do you know how far that is from Azle, Tx? 24 hour drive straight through! They pulled out of Azle on Friday morning, Jan. 21st with Aaron driving the rental truck with all their belongings in it and towing the Expedition behind it which was also loaded! Starla was following behind him in the pickup with 2 of the boys with her! One of the boys(most of the time it was Riley) rode in the truck with Aaron. The whole drive was done in below freezing temps! They went about 8 hours a day and stopped for the night. The third day they went until they were about 1 1/2 hours away from the house they had rented. They spent the night in a hotel and got up the next morning to finish the last leg of their journey and the big truck would not start! Tooooo cold! They had to get a tow truck to tow it to a warm building to let the diesel warm up enough to get it to start again. So by 3:00 that afternoon they finally got to finish the last leg of their journey - in 9 degree weather and snow! That's part of the adventure , right? Well, they have been there for 10 days or so and are trying to get settled in. Snow almost every day!
I made flight reservations to go up and help her get things in order and was supposed to fly out on the 1st but the cold icy weather hit us and I have postponed my flight until Sunday the 6th. Maybe the winter weather advisory will be over then! Can't wait to see them all! Ronnie isn't going this time - he may want to wait till we can drive there!
Amy and Brad are busy, busy as usual. Lily turned 6 on the 26th and was at some friends house that evening. She was having fun on the trampoline and somehow landed wrong and twisted her ankle. The next morning she couldn't put any weight on it - so I went with Amy to Cook's to have it x-rayed. Couldn't see for sure if it was fractured so they put her in a boot (that was too big for her skinny little leg!)and on crutches. So Thursday and Friday last week she got to spend with Mimi and Paw-Paw instead of having to get around on crutches at school! Yesterday , she went in for more x-rays and sure enough - she did fracture some bone in her ankle! So , into a walking boot that actually fits her for a few weeks! Poor Lily!
Brandon and Michelle are doing great and have taken a few days off to ski in Red River! Hope they are staying warm and having a fun, relaxing trip!
I still feel blessed by a wonderful God and hopefully the people that I come into contact with can see his glory through me!
