Hi! Welcome to my blog!

This is my first attempt at blogging.

I just feel it is important to share our journey!

Getting "Out of the House"

Getting out the door and into the car is quite an experience!  We have an appointment with the oncologist in Springfield today.... I am just praying that it doesn't turn into an ICU visit!!
We also have a lot of other appointments this week.... No Home Health Nurses....

The weather is extremely pleasant... so... I think I will try to leave the house at noon for our 3pm visit...


                                                                          Blessings today...

Great sunshine!

Happy cats & dogs in our home!  (aka "Murphy Animal Retreat"..not really).

More to come!!!

Tuesday... 8/16/11

Well we didn't make it to the doctor's appointment... (did not go to ICU), but we are in a room on the oncology floor for more tests to see if the spinal tumor or brain tumors have started growing again....
