Doc. appointments, Birthday time and the Bowl Game

It's been a busy week, but a fun one. Thursday Brett and I drove to Wenatchee to get birthday presents for Bryce, go to my monthly appointment to see my doctor and get a Zeloda treatment for my bones. We purposely left a little early to stop at Hooked on Toys, check!- presents bought! That's off the list, now on to the clinic. We arrived to find my doctor had a call early that morning and her dad was in the hospital in India. We don't know how he is, but we said we'd pray for him. They were able to write down our questions and she will possibly be back next week. I'm hoping to be off Xyloda by March...maybe sooner??? My hands and feet are peeling and dry, but it's all manageable. God gives me the grace to walk through it. Honestly, I have so much to be thankful for.

Friday we had a friend birthday party for Bryce. Mom, dad and Brett all helped. Yeah family! The boys were great! We had little boy food for after school snacks, little smokies, cheese & crackers, Doritos and apple slices. Then we went up to play basketball. Those boys ran for 45 minutes straight! I had fun shooting baskets with them too. (However, I paid for being on my feet that long exercising. Ouch! Hot feet!) Then it was back to the house for cake, presents and more games. The next night we did a family party. It was fun.

Today we had friends over for the Super Bowl. It's good to get together with great friends. And boy did we eat! Yum!

The other day Brett was talking to Pastor Paul Palumbo. He asked how I was and Brett said "great. We just aren't sure how to pray sometimes, do we thank God for the healing we have or continue to pray for a miracle?" He had a good answer, he said "both". So, we are thanking God for the healing he has provided and pray for a continual miracle of healing.

Looking up and rejoicing in the day God has given us today!
Thank you for praying with us.
