Happy Spring!

I am so happy that Spring is here! I love to see the buds and blossoms on trees, green grass, and flowers popping up. It makes everything seem alive and renews my spirit.

I love playing outside with the girls. Everything is such an adventure with Kendal. She has a great imagination. We are counting down the days until we open up our pool for the season.

Kendal's birthday is next week. I can't believe my baby will be six years old. The time goes by so quickly.

We have been busy with Rachel's AAU basketball this spring. She is really enjoying it and absolutely loves spending time with the girls on team. It is a lot of fun for all of us.

I have been feeling good, but I am definitely ready for some warm, sunny weather. I am excited about getting our garden planted soon. It is a lot of work, but is really rewarding. The girls enjoy helping with it, too.

Only four more weeks until the girls are out of school for the summer. We are all looking forward to that. I love having them home!

My next doctor appointment is scheduled for June 21st. Dr. Gupta thought we should wait until after my 40th birthday. He said we better have a big celebration!

Thank you so much for your constant prayers and support. It means so much to us to have so many people keeping us in their thoughts. It has definitely made a difference.

Defying the Odds

We completely spaced it and did not post the results of the check up on March 15th. Anyway, the tumor marker continues to decrease. It went from 64.8 to 49.7 over the last ten weeks. We want to thank everyone for the continued prayers and concerns. We know that God is answering and blessing us each and every day! The next appointment will be on June 21st.

Update......

I thought I better post something on here or my faithful followers will quit checking in on me. Thankfully, we have not had any medical updates in awhile. I have been feeling great. The girls and I have had to battle sinus infections and colds all winter, but nothing major.

I will get my tumor marker test this Friday, March 11th and will meet with my oncologist on Tuesday, March 15th at noon to get the results. As always, we are praying that my tumors continue to shrink and that the cancer has not spread.

Please continue to pray for us and hope for good news again!

Prayers Answered

All of our prayers continued to be answered. Teresa's tumor marker was down to 64.8 today. This is a great way to start the new year. Thank you all for your continued prayers and concerns.

God is good!

Merry Christmas

We have done a terrible job in keeping the blog up-to-date. Teresa continues to feel good. The hustle and bustle of the holiday season wears her down faster than it use to and I worry about her doing too much. However, she has been able to enjoy it with the girls. In particular, she is looking forward to spending time with family over the next couple of days.

On January 4th, Teresa goes back to Dr. Gupta for her 10 week check up. We continue to pray that her tumor markers stay in check. Hopefully, they will be down. That would be an awesome late Christmas present!

We hope that you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Please find the time to enjoy your family and friends. I will post the results of the appointment on the 4th.

Thank you for your continued prayers. We are very thankful for each and everyone of you!

Merry Christmas!

Wonderful News

I know that we have been negligent in keeping this blog updated and we apologize. However, we wanted to share the wonderful news that we got today. Teresa had her 10 week check up with Dr. Gupta and found out that her tumor marker dropped even more. It went from 103 at the end of July to 86.6 today. This was truly music to our ears. All of the prayers are being answered. We continue to pray for a miracle and God continues to answer. Teresa and her positive attitude also continue to amaze and inspire all that know her.

Thank you all for your continued prayers and support!

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 5K Walk will take place at Wabash College in Crawfordsville on Saturday, October 2nd. Registration begins at 9:00 a.m. and the walk begins at 10:00 a.m. I will be participating again this year; my team is Team T. If you would like to make a donation or join our team to walk, please sign up at www.cancer.org/stridesonline.

Also, we can order event t-shirts with our team name on the back for $12. They are black with pink letters like our Team T shirts from the past, so old members can just wear those if they want. Let me know if you want a new t-shirt and what size.

Lets take this opportunity to honor breast cancer survivors, remember people we have lost, and raise funds and awareness to help end this disease.
