Aunt Debra and the twins are here! WooHoo! We got up early and had WAFFLES then got dressed to head out for a day on the town. Mama bought several new outfits from TJ Maxx and let me tell you she is just the cutest thing! Then we all hit up the new Kyotos in Tupelo. The wait was long but it was worth it! Hibachi grills are just a fun experience! After a great meal we came back to the house and played Rummikub until we almost passed out! :) Aunt Debra and Tedd got just a little competitive with it...LoL!
June 29:
We went to church! Mama preached for the first time since her surgery and she was serving the devil notice no doubt! She even broke out the baseball bat! The sermon was built around the Tye Tribbett song "I Want It All Back." Everyone wrote things on the wall that they felt had been stolen from them in the past due to circumstance and trial. It was extremely powerful! After church, we hit up Mi Pueblo with Aunt Debra and the twins, Sis Angel and family, Mama, me and Tedd. Overall, it was a fun day and we crashed as soon as we walked in the door :)
June 30:
Mama had her Power Port put in this morning. We were at the hospital at 6am and they didn't even call her back for lab work until 10:15am! It was an outpatient surgical procedure...we were back home by 4:30 pm. Mama came in and crashed...she was sore and drained.
What is the Power Port? The Power Port is basically a catheter under her skin running through the main artery in her neck. When she goes in for chemo they will locate the port site with their fingers and lock a needle in for treatment. We chose this option because her veins were too small and fragile to do an IV each time. She was getting stuck too many times and we could not have that! :) Any questions...just email or post them.
July 1-3:
Basically Mama has been recovering from the port placement. She feels a lot better but is still a little sore. Her hair has started coming out and that has been extremely emotional for everyone...she is known for her beautiful red hair. I just keep ensuring her that God understands and that we will love her no matter what. I personally think she is the most gorgeous 50 something woman alive but maybe I am a little biased. :)
We are having a few people over to cookout tonight. BBQ chicken and burgers...be jealous! Sorry for the delays everyone... promise I will do better at keeping everything up to date. :)
Focused Prayer:
-Joy: Losing her hair is really rough.
-No side effects: Our next treatments is July 8
-Peace: Knowing that God holds us in His hands is the most amazing comfort
Thanks for everything guys!

Thank you soooo much Charlcy. We realize it's a sacrifice to keep up this blog but it means EVERYTHING to all of us! We love you and we're praying for that woman! Don't be fooled....she's still got it! Let's don't forget she brought the steel baseball bat up to the pulpit Sunday morning and gave the devil a SERIOUS tongue lashing! AND....Jordan got to give a testimony and preach a little. MAN.....That was a FUN week-end! Gotta have one of those games. Tedd...with 2 D's is the one who started the arguments....don't forget THAT! Love you all! Debra...AKA....Marilyn calls me "Do-Head! Love that name
Hi Marilyn,
I've been trying to get into this blog all day. I hope I've made it this time. We got back Tuesday and I've had kids ever since.
I hope you've had a good 4th and I'll do my best to get back to you soon.
I've still got the oldest one here tonight and he demands alot of attention.
Take care and I'll talk to you later.
Love Becky
