Today, I first want to thank God for the gift of 25 years of being the mother of this beautiful young woman! I will show you in many photos how Sarah Jean is a joy to love, full of laughter and compassion, and I am genuinely privileged to be called her mom.

Thank you for obliging me while I share way too many photos of my sweet daughter on her birthday! Sad I won't be seeing her today, so hopefully she feels honored by filling my blog post!
As for today and my oncology appointment: Praise the Lord!! Dr. Cody agreed that my feet look great and continued my Abraxane medication. My dental patient, Lori Halter, drove ALL the way from Northern Kentucky to show her love and serve me well. She brought me to my chemo appointment and we got to catch up on our families, our faith, and our friendship. God is just so sweet to give me such a wealth of people who have come alongside me during this time in my life. So now I'm pumped full of chemo, anti-nausea meds and yes...steroids. So most likely, I won't be sleeping much tonight. Unfortunately, I also have continued to gain a pound a week and it's got to stop! So that's it! Cutting way back on all the things I should not be eating. I was doing so well at first and then got lax. Maybe now I can start walking again as my feel heal completely and I rebuild callous' on my feet again.
A sincere thank you for anyone who prayed for my feet and this new medication to work. May you be blessed this day.
