Another Tag?! (If your squeamish do not continue)

I have been tagged by a few people to do the 4th photo tag. So I went to my 4th photo folder and found my 4th photo in that folder and this is what I found:


I hesitated putting this up not only because it looks horrible, but also it brings up some really intense emotions. I remember these days. The absolute devastation of being told your husband has brain cancer. The worry through both surgeries. The helplessness of watching your husband go through so much pain and trial and not being able to help him make it all go away. The MRI's and radiation. The chemotherapy. The worst of all was when he forgot my name (its ok sweetheart I still love you). Blah, blah, blah......

Whew!!

Thats in the past for now. The good news is that yesterdays MRI showed no new growth. The tumor is gone and he has officially ended chemo. Yes!

I love it because he has no good excuse now for not doing the housework. He can't exploit his brain cancer any more. If he tries to give me one of his lame excuses that he is too tired or sick I can call his bluff :)

Seriously, I am very grateful for the miracle we have been given.

Here are some more pictures for your entertainment.

1 Day after surgery.

Finally home!!!


Our Dog Jake would not leave his side when he got home. He was very loving and protective of him. It is amazing how dogs know something is up.

I hope you had fun going down memory lane with me!!

That was a little startling at 7am Friday morning but very fitting since it is Halloween. I am so happy for you both. I can't believe how much Colton looks like his dad.
