Day 84

This has been another rough trip. The good news is this cycle is over. Becca ended it by taking Cisplatin and Doxorubicin. She now has two weeks off until her next cycle so we hope that she can get better. They let her go tonight even though she was still vomiting due to her willingness to walk around the hospital. They felt she would be ok going home. She has been sleeping a lot due to the medication.

As hard as this is, we know we must continue to press forward. The Lord has protected her many times and we know we will get through this. The road ahead seems long, but with the continued prayers and faith of so many, we know we will make it.

Please ask a friend to pray as well tonight, she could really use it.

Day 82

Becca had a pretty good day today. We snuck her out and went shopping… I know a girl’s dream 🙂 She is a little slow to keep up with the boys, but she tries her best. She wanted to get a store in before she has to go back to Huntsman in the morning. It should be a quick visit this time, but we will see.

The boys and I are actually doing well (as good as you can). I’ve tried to keep things as normal as possible. Ricky is doing VERY well in school (just got his grades – his Texas teacher would be proud) and Michael is just enjoying pre-school. Cameron is just breaking hearts like always. And me, well, I’m keeping busy with work… there is ton’s of it 🙂 Not only with Southwest, but around the house, taking care of business. It’s good for me to keep busy, one day I will be able to sit down and think long and hard about all of this. Right now Becca is who needs the help and WE are all here to do it together…

Thank you all for everything!

Day 81

Becca actually made it home late Monday night at about 10 PM. They totally surprised me so I’m sorry about the update. She is doing much better, but still tired and sick. But it’s nothing like it was. She will go in on Friday for a quick treatment. She should come home the next day. This will be the last of this cycle and she will have two weeks off… Yeah!
Keep us in your prayers 🙂

Day 79

I wish I had better news, Becca was unable to come home today. She has been so sick and in pain that they wanted to make sure they get it under control first. Becca is in good spirits, but extremely tired. But that’s ok, she would rather sleep.
They think they have it correct now, so there is a chance she will be released tomorrow some time.

Becca wanted you all to know that she is very thankful (as am I) for all the love, prayers, support, gifts and packages. They really go a long way and they seem to arrive in great timing.

Isaiah 41:10,13

Keep up the prayers.

Day 77

As the last few weeks have been good for Becca, today has not. I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I do want to share the truth as to what she is coping with. This round of chemo has taken her for a loop. She is really tired and very sick. We were warned that either the last one, or this one could do this. Each time she received chemotherapy, it sort of adds up. So, her body is kind of ‘retaliating’ against it. The good news is she is still hanging in there, it’s just been a very rough day. I know that we will get through this and they gave her the best room in the hospital 🙂

With General Conference going on, I just want to share my love for the Savior. What a great example in my life. I know that we are not alone in this. Our Father in Heaven and His Son are with us and watching over each of us. It is through our challenges that we become closer to Him and find ways to help others, as Christ would. I pray that each of you are blessed and receive the things that you need as you continue to pray for my family. We couldn’t make it this far without you. The tumor will shrink and Becca will be healed. We love you all.
