last round of chemo tonight then discharge tomorrow
I get chemo at 8 pm for 3 hours and then again at 8 am for 3 hours. Hopefully my discharge papers will be ready soon after and we will get to go. I am starting to get really tired again. Seem to require a daily nap. The kids are coming tomorrow for a couple of days with Gale and Randy so hopefully I can keep up with them. Don and I will be spending a few nights in the hotel so we can be close to them. The camper is just not big enough for everyone, but it works well with mom and dad and Don and I. My blood cell counts will soon drop so I will be much more tired but hopefully not ill. Once we get discharged our Internet access will be limited so we may not get to make as many posts. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday and remember what it is all about. Praise God in everything…
love Karen
Okay, so no long story from me tonight. I just wanted to talk. When do I not want to talk. Golly….I never shut up. Oh well, I was singing the other day while Kody was trying to watch his dinosaur movie and that little “PICKLE” turned around and waved his hand at me while saying, “Momma, just CALM down…calm down”. I thought who is the parent here. I am supposed to say that to him. It took all I could not to bust out laughing. He can say the funniest things.
Also, we are trying to train the beagles to hunt. So many new rules. You can be fined now if they happen to get away. Some of the lease members have trained their dogs to stop running a deer, when they hear the shock collar beep a warning. How crazy is that?
Anyway…I love you. I saw Melissa Sanders comment on here. You know that is J.R’s sister. I haven’t talked to her in years. HI MELISSA!
Karen, enjoy your time with your family for Thanksgiving. I think the true meaning of Thanksgiving is Thanks for giving me a hard time. Isn’t that what in-laws and family is supposed to do. LOL! Just kidding! Family is so important. It makes your world turn round! I look at my little baby and think “how do I do this” but “how could I imagine my life without him” . Tonight he crawled in my lap and I told him how big his feet were getting. He said he did not want to get bigger. He wanted to stay small. I sure wish he could. I fuss, but I am enjoying this age….as long as he gets a nap.
I love you…gotta go. Laura
Laura, Kody is so wonderful. I am so glad you are enjoying this time. It goes by so fast. Oh, I did know that was Melissa. She is very sweet.
also, don’t shock those puppies! Their too little!!!
I love you girl.

I am so thankful for my family…I thank God that I was able to grow up with my sisters and my mom and dad. I am thankful for the love and closeness that we have always shared. I am thankful for all the blessings that God has given us and the wonderful memories that are treasures to me and are unique to our family. I am thankful that I was able to see God’s hand in my life and the many miracles He has allowed me to witness in my lifetime growing up and now as an adult. Praise His name!
I am so very thankful for all the people who are praying for you and your healing…and who are believers in Christ and will share with us in eternity as our heavenly family. I am thankful for a saviour who was willing to shed His blood for me and take my place on the cross…
So Karen, rest and be blessed this Thanksgiving…wherever it may be…in the hospital, hotel, camper, gainesville! I hope you have a peaceful, blessed, restful, and wonderful thanksgiving. I love you so much! I wish I could be with you…love Ginny
