1 Week Down!

So here we are, one week already gone in Mom's treatment! After the first time of radiation hell, Mom began taking her nausea meds an hour before treatment, and they have worked wonders! She's able to take her chemo in the morning, work for most of the day, get through radiation in the late afternoon, and then have enough energy to play with her grandson as I as work, make dinner, and take her evening chemo. She's amazing, and is my hero right now! Anyone who sees her is shocked about how well she looks. We all had this picture in our heads of what a cancer patient is supposed to look like, and I can tell you, Mom is not that picture. She continues to be involved in church activities, and God has continued to take ahold of her and shine through her every day.

Some have been asking about me-well, I've hit 30 weeks, and if Cameron comes when Collin did, that means I have just 8 weeks! I am so ready to be done this, but at the same time, quite nervous at the thought of two little boys =) When I look at Collin, it amazes me that I'll love Cameron just as much, because right now I can't fathom that I can love two children like I love Collin!

Dad has been counting down the days until retirement, and Lauren and Justin continue to enjoy married life and will be headed to Honolulu soon. To keep up with Lauren and Justin and their adventures, visit http://justinandlaurenpauls.blogspot.com/ .

Prayer Requests

-That the tumor is shrinking and will be operable in May!

-That Steve and I can figure out how Collin will be cared for when I do go to the hospital, since Mom and Dad will probably be focused on the surgery. We'll see what happens...

-That Lauren and Justin have a smooth transition and move to Honolulu
