My laptop froze up last week so it went to the repair shop. Let's get caught up on the last two weeks. The Neulasta shot that was given to me to boost my white blood cell counts wasn't as bad as I had heard. My legs were sore like I ran a marathon (daily) and my knees were achy for about 8 days. Kelly did well preparing for her procedure and we received the results last week from her colonoscopy and all findings were normal-Praise God! Jim started his three weeks of vacation last Monday. We spent two days running errands (Kelly got her braces off and now is in a (Gator's) retainer) and getting the camper ready for a trip. I found a place to camp in Ormond Beach called Tomoka State Park. Jim and the kids took Mema to the airport on Wednesday were she flew to Hawaii to meet up with my step-brother Tom and his family. We finished packing when they got back and left for our camping adventure. We just got back yesterday. We all had a good time camping, canoeing, fishing and swimming. We went to the beach a couple of times and took a trip to De Leon Spring State Park for breakfast and a day of swimming in the cool water of the springs. That is a nice place. There is an old sugar mill that has been turned into a restaurant. The tables have an electric griddle build into the table tops where you make your own pancakes. The kids had a blast making their own creations. The chocolate chips were their favorite kind of pancakes to make and I enjoyed the blueberry ones. Brooke leaves today for a week. She is going with our church youth group to a christian camp. This will be her second year going and she really enjoys it. Kelly will be going to camp in two weeks. Last year was her first year going to camp also. Even though she was excited about spending a week with her friends she had a hard time leaving but once she was there she was fine. Today is chemo treatment number 8 out of 12. I woke up yesterday with a sore throat and still have it this morning. I have managed to keep the germs and sickies away this whole time so I pray this too will pass. I probably just over did it the last couple of days. We are still praying for the rentals to rent or sell. Thank you Cindy for getting my kids to VBS the week I had chemo and thanks to all the ladies that provided us meals.
