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.

settling in

May2

Hi everyone,

we are settling in well here at Shands and I have finished the 2 days of Chemo.  I will start radiation tomorrow so that will be something new.  So far I am feeling mostly good, but starting to notice little minor ickies.  I’m a big whiner though so go figure.

I am hoping to see my gang of kids this weekend if we can work out all the details.  looking forward to that.  Mom and Dad are coming tomorrow and Laura is hoping to visit soon too.  Ginny is finishing up LPN school (I”m so proud!) and her family will be coming this summer!

I am so truely blessed.  I get a little nervous when I think about all the things I will soon go through but I know that God is with me.  And he has provided me with so many friends and so much support and all the prayers.  Its amazing. 

love you,karen

    We went to church this evening and the message was directly for us. Psalms 46. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.Therefore we will NOT fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the sea……….Be still and know that I am God:………….The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Amen! See you soon, sweet child of mine.
