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.

monday night

December21

Hi everyone,

Don went back to Panama City this morning.  I miss him already.  Mom and Dad spent the day with me and Momma is spending the night.  I am getting my last doses of chemo tonight and in the morning.  I am feeling pretty good.  Just starting to get tired and heavy.  I haven’t been nauseous or having any pain.  We will discharge tomorrow and go to the camper.  Don will come back by Christmas eve.

I am so thankful for my remission, the possibility of a donor, these wonderful Doctors and nurses, all my friends and family, and a God who truly loves me.  keep in touch, and I will too.

love ,

karen

I WILL ALWAYS BE SO THANKFUL FOR HER TAKING TIA TO AUBURN WHEN SHE WAS BURN’T AND HOW SHE HELPED DAVID GO AND GET SHADOW BACK FOR DEB. SO I KNOW HOW GREAT IT IS TO HAVE HER WITH YOU. SHE COULD ALWAYS LIFT YOU UP AND KEEP YOU SMILING. SHE KNOWS THE RIGHT THING TO SAY. SO I KNOW THAT YOU ARE SO BLESSED AND THINGS ARE GOING TO BE OK. WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU AND “GOD IS IN CONTROL” WE JUST HAVE TO KEEP TRUSTING.

    Hi Sweetie,so good to hear that you are not feeling ill or in pain.God is good all the time !!You will be getting stronger and stronger. I can’t wait for the match to see you bloom again!!
    I was reading about our dear Lord,How he came as a humble little babe,mom was a scared teenager ,and Joseph wasn’t able to get them a room in the local hotel. So,the couple bedded down with the animals in a cave under the inn.Mary had the babe and laid Him in a feed trough wrapped in rags. Man can you imagine what that was like? Mary and Joseph trusted in God, and God gave us the Greatest Gift of all time. I know that He is working a Miracle Gift in you for His Glory.
    Love You!!!! Auntie M
