O. Ver. Whelmed.

First of all, WAR EAGLE!!!!  Watching the game and the big win last night, made Mom feel so, so, soooo much better! We are very thankful that she felt like watching the tigers play last night and was able to help cheer them on to victory!

Every Tuesday after her treatment, she gets to meet with Dr. Keene, her doctor that is over her radiation treatment.  Everything is going good from what she can tell on the outside, so far.  Mom hasn't had any signs of burning yet from the radiation, so for that, we are very grateful.  Dr. Keene told Mom today that the tumor in her chest wall is about the size of a golf ball, just to give you a little visual.  We are hoping, praying, and believing that the radiation she is receiving now will shrink that tumor, or better yet, DESTROY it! She hasn't been sick in quite some time, but is feeling more tired and fatigued with each treatment.  We are thankful that her body is responding to the treatment and medication so well.  She got a free pass from radiation on Monday because of all the snow in Birmingham.  That made her day!

We are very grateful and overwhelmed at all of the support that everyone showed this past weekend at the BBQ.  Below are some pics that Jenn snapped since we weren't able to be there.  We are so appreciative of all the support and hard work.  We love each and every one of you.  Probably won't be back until this weekend with another update, unless something happens in between now and then.  Her days are usually pretty routine now that the medication is subsiding her pain...wake up...treatment...back to the apartment to rest for the rest of the day/night.  Thank you all so much for everything, especially the prayers that are being sent up!

xoxo,
