Mom and Dad have loved being home...even though Mom has been suffering some pretty bad bouts of vertigo. She just about has it conquered...in fact she, Dad, Pat and Jimmy Cox drove to Sugar Land today so that Mom can get her next chemo treatment tomorrow. They will spend the night at Dana and Sheila's house, then head back to Waxahachie tomorrow after her treatment. When God decided to create "friends", He must have used Pat and Jimmy as a template....they are the best!!!

Headed Home!!!

Even as this is being written, Jim and Trudie are rolling down the highway toward home. They should be there later tonight. Mom just finished her third round of chemo since resuming treatment in September. She is continuing to suffer NO ill side-effects from the chemo, and for that we are richly blessed and thankful. Mom and Dad are anxious to be back home for a short stay, and look forward to hugs and hellos.

10-10-10....what a fun date to write! It's been a good week for Mom and Dad. Mom had a bone scan this past Monday and the doctor gave the "all clear" report the following day. Whew! Mom has been feeling pretty good this past week, even after undergoing two rounds of chemo. She is scheduled for her next round this coming Wednesday. Please pray that the chemo is working on containing the tumors and bringing down the tumor marker number.

Dad is feeling much better. He and Mom have had a really fun weekend. Dana and Sheila were in New Mexico for the weekend, so Brittnie and Brandon came over for a weekend of sleepovers and shenanigans....you just never know what kind of trouble Brandon will bring with him.

A continued "thank you" to everyone for their prayers, calls, cards, and loving thoughts. And to the church "family" at First Colony...thank you for all the love and encouragement you have brought into our lives.

Trudie just finished her second chemo treatment since returning to Sugar Land. So far, all is going well. She went for a bone scan today and will get results at a doctor's visit tomorrow.

Jim is recovering from a bout of bronchitis/pneumonia. It's never a dull moment with these two! Just kinda shows how things fall apart when Sheila leaves town. She was in Paris for 10 days, but is back now and has everything under control.
