Stephanie and Her new pet

Stephanie brought home a new pet today, while her and Steven was outside playing. She came running in, saying look at my new baby. I ask them who picked the frog up, Steven said NOT ME. It took us a while to talk her into letting this poor baby frog lose, so it can go find her mommy and daddy. She finally did, but not without a lot of crying. She wanted to know if the frog will remember her when it grows up. I said of course.......

Radiation Update

I went today to meet my radiation doctor, she was really nice. Dr. McCunniff explain that I will have 33 treatments total. She said it will take at least 1 hour. The side effect could be skin redness, Fatigue, swelling in the arm, and I could also have small amount of scar tissue on my lung (adjacent to the lymph nodes) and heart. My treatment and consultation will began on Monday, July 2nd. She told me radiation is the easy part, I have already gone through the hard part.

Back to Work I Go

Today was my first day back to work. I was a bundle of nervous. By time I past out all my Thank You notes, and cleaned up 6 months of dust I was ready to go home. I am only working 6 hours, and until I got home I didn't realize how weak I really was. I sat down on the couch and I was sound asleep. All my co-workers made me feel so good, and was all glad to see me back. You don't realize how much someone cares for you until something happens to you, and then you find how special your co-workers are. I received two baskets of goodies, money, cards, flowers, love, support, friendship, but most of all the prayers. I am so blessed to work with a bunch of caring people. Thanks for making my first day at work a good one.

Update

I hope everyone had a nice Father's Day and has been doing ok. The Moore Family has been doing really good. The kids are out of school and having a blast. I am doing really good. I had another bad chest cold or I never really got over the last one. The doctor put me on another antibiotic, so far this one seems to be helping. This is my fourth antibiotic in 6 weeks.

I went this Monday to see my cancer doctor, and we talked about the next step of my treatment, I go and meet my radiation doctor on the 26th of this month and we will probably start radiation in 2 or 3 weeks. I still will have to go in every two weeks to get blood work, and a shoot, plus I have to get my porter catheter flush out every 3 weeks. We also talked about when I can start back to work, so this Monday I will return to work part-time.

I can't believe 6 months ago I was getting ready for my surgery, and look how far I have came. I have to Thank God, and all my Family and Friends. Without all of you I don't know what I would have done. Everyone had been so kind to my family and have showed me how much each and everyone of you loves us. I can't say in words how much all of you mean to us, and how much we are greatful for all of you. Thanks for being there for us.

I love all of you, and may God be with you always,
Renee, Steve, Steven, and Stephanie

End Of School Program

Tonight was the kids end of school musical program. They sang all kinds of songs, and danced. Afterward they had supper for them. It was a wonderful program. Just watching the kids sing and dance and see how much they have grown in a year, brought tears to my eyes.
