Karen's Day at Shands

Karen wanted a place for family and friends to be able to see how she is doing each day at Shands. This is how she is making that happen.

home is where the heart is…

Hi everyone,

I am having a wonderful time back at home.  I got to visit with Randy before he went back to Harding, and that was really nice.  We got a little much needed one on one time.   I’m so proud of him.

I really love being home.  I love spending time with my boys, but even when they’re not here, I just love being home.  I have been catching up with friends and running a few errands. We’ve had some nice family dinners and even had Laura and her bunch over last night for tacos.  We had a great time playing bananagrams, and have found that some of us are major cheaters (Grandpa and Dylan)!  Tonight will be very busy, Dylan has a basketball game, and Jake is finishing a science project (due tomorrow), so wish me luck with all that.

I am going to G’ville on Wednesday for lab work and coming back home.  I will be admitted for my #3 consolidation (chemo) on Jan 19.  They are giving me a little more time off this go round, and I am truley greatful.  I hope to not have to go as long without seeing my children.  I need to make sure they come to G’ville for a visit. 3 weeks is just too long….

Life is good, and I am very thankful for my doctors and nurses in Gainesville that have gotten me better so I can have time off to come home and see my family and friends.  I also thank God everyday for giving me another day…

I love you guys
