A look into the world of a cancer survivor.......

All is well! Sheri's visit to the UW was very positive. Her scans looked very good. The two bigger spots her Doctor was watching are both smaller, and the other few are holding very small in size. He doesn't want to see her for three months....in our world that's a long time. The eye Doctor she saw said she had some blood in her eye that is blurring her vision...it should clear up in a week or so....nothing to worry about.

Sorry to sound the alarm....but now you get a breif glimps into our world. Even something small like blurry vision can set off a storms of scans and Doctor appointments. Thanks for following us in our journey, and being willing to help when asked...we are truely blessed. I guess it's best to be cautious, we're glad Sheri has such great Doctors.

Pray please......

Soooo...Sheri has been having some fuzzy vision in her left eye. Nothing big or major...just a little blurry. She has had 20/20 vision her whole life...so it raised a flag. We called her Doctor in Wenatchee and at the UW. They want her at the U tomorrow morning for a MRI. We had one scheduled for August, but they wanted to do it now. What does it mean? Not real sure. It could be swelling from the treated areas they hit a few months ago. She'll be seeing an eye Doctor as well...she may just be getting older...both her parents use glasses. The best we can do is pray. Unfortunately I can't go, we are short handed at the yard this week, and we have an event for contractors tomorrow as well, and Alyssa and I are playing for an event tomorrow night....so Sheri's Mom Sue is riding shotgun in my place...and to boot it's Sue's birthday tomorrow. Happy B day Mom in law. Pray for good things and good scans. We'll let you know what's up as soon as we know.

Looking up!

Mini Prayer Request- The Big Toe

My big left toe is doing a little better this morning, but the last couple of days it looked like a little balloon on the end of my foot. Doctor's orders are to wait a week to begin my second chemo and stay off of it. So I'm enjoying summer for a couple of days with my foot up. I expect it to get better by next Monday...that's my hope! The kids are a great help at picking up, doing dishes and bringing me laundry. They rock! I'm very proud of them.
We have spent quite a bit of time swimming. At grandma & grandpa's, the kids live in the pool. At home we run down to the pool or lake at Mill Bay. We love summer.

My next MRI is Aug. 6th, which is also my dad's birthday! The doctor expects the spots to be bigger due to normal inflammation and then to go down. However, I don't fit the normal expectations so often that it leaves it very open. That's what happens when I know God is answering prayers.

We are praying for good scans and continued complete healing. All things are possible for those who love God! We are also thanking Him for the healing He has given us thus far. Please continue to pray with us.

Looking up!

Sheri
