A parent's greatest gift!

I received, Chris and I both, received the greatest gift any parent could hope for,to be blessed with Our 4 and a half year old daughter announcing at bedtime that she didn't want to go to sleep one more night without asking Jesus into her heart. SO together Chris and I explained a little more about living for Jesus and asking to have our sins forgiven, and she prayed to have Jesus Christ as the centre of her life. She is now a Christian and understands what that means for her young life. My heart is bursting with pride for our beautiful gift from above. I know He'll continue to guide her as she continues to seek Him on this life's journey of hers.God BLess.Amen!!

UPdates...

I was finally singing in the "rain" this moring!!YEAH!!As of today I'm booked to see at urologist, neurologist and for a head MRI. I had a great meetingn with my oncologist and she's taking all of my symptoms seriously while still encouraging me that she doesn't think that they are signs of metestatic disease. We just wouldn't want to be missing anything else that could be important. Lizzy and I drove in together with CArmelle and made a day of my appointments. WE had a wonderful time at Science World together. I'm not half way done my year of herceptin treatments!!

Please Pray

I'm lying in bed at 3:45 am having not been able to pee since early yesterday afternoon. I'm not sure what latest occurance is causing this, but I'll most likely be on my way to the ER again later this morning. Please pray that this is resolved quickly, and again that it's nothing related to cancer, or the spread of cancer. Going to try and go to sleep now. Thanks for praying.

PS... praying for a pee party not a pity party!

Weather conditions

I'm very concerned about not getting to my Doctor's appointment and Herceptin IV treatment at Vancouver Cancer Clinic tomorrow. My Doctor's apointment is for 10:30 am and my treatment is at 3:45pm. At the very least I'm hoping to get in for the afternoon treatment. Please pray that the road conditions won't be so bad tomorrow morning. Now I'm going to go to sleep and hope that everything works it's self out for tomorrow, and that I have a peaceful and restful sleep, last thing I need to do is lay awake worrying about it. Plus I'm fighting off a nasty head cold on top of everything else. Pray for good health I guess:)

Out of the mouths of babes.

As I tucked my baby girl into bed, and whispered in her ear, "I love you, Cadence." She replied in her new spoken words, "I yub you too, Mommy." How sweet it is to be loved by these little oones, who can bring so much healing with so few words. IT was the perfect timing for me to hear these words from my little one for the first time, as these are the words that build up ones soul.

Just for the record.

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't have a moment or two in which I'm paralyzed with fear; Fear that I'll be leaving my daughters without their mother, My husband without his wife, My Mother and Fathers without their daughter, my brother's without their sister, and my friends with a void (as I know all to well, how hard it is to lose a dear friend, I miss Carmen all the time)But I choose to overcome this fear and to not allow it to stop me from living my life. It is with strength that comes by my faith in something so much greater than all of this. The one who created me, knowing this would be a part of my life's journey, I have faith that with His hand to guide me, I can overcome this fear. So it is with prayer and faith that I have the strength to rise above the fear and not allow cancer to rob me of anything more.

My Wife's Blog (From Chris... to "Sarah")

As a husband with a wife going through danger, my instincts to protect my wife and my family run stronger than they do usually. So to "Sarah" who wrote the insulting comment on my wife's blog: PISS OFF. I'm going to give you my phone number, and I do hope that you call so I can tell you in stronger language what I think of you, and your comments. (604) 854-2808. If you can find the time to get down off of the GIANT freaking horse you're sitting on top of, maybe you can give me a call and answer for the utter arrogance and air of self-importance that you have shown here. God forbid YOU ever get cancer, fight a courageous fight through the whole of it, and then have someone want to encourage you for it.

So unless your next action is to call and appologize and take the verbal thrashing that you'll get from me, don't bother logging on here again. We can do just fine without your comments, or misguided advice, or whatever the hell you thought you were doing.
