Last Sunday was extra special for us....being in 3rd grade now, JJ got his own Bible AND Mimi was able to make it to church! That made it even more special.
Today Mimi came to church again. That is quite a task since she has worked hard to get better. Even though she still struggles with her eyesite, she came and worshiped and it was wonderful to see her there! So many people have prayed and continue to pray and that is much appreciated! Thank you all!
Yesterday I finished book 3 of her cards and made a special small scrapbook of pictures for JJ of he and his dad. It was a bittersweet task for a couple reasons. One, I went to the scrapbooking event that Mimi was suppose to go to but because she wasn't up to it, I went in her place. Second, the book I created brought Jeff to mind a lot. I remember so many wonderful things about him and I know the little book I made will help JJ recall the times he shared with his dad too.
God is good and I am so grateful for many things in life but at this time especially I am grateful for my mom and all that she has done for me and given me and shared with me. I appreciate every moment even small ones that I can share with her.
Please keep praying for mom, dad and JJ. God has blessed us all with the opportunity to pray for those in need. Thank you all!

Update from Mimi
Well I talked with Mimi last night and I hoped for something more positive but here is the update. Mimi started back on the Chemo medication and the steroids. She has been having headaches again, feeling more tired than usual, and just not feeling like herself. Her MRI has been moved up to October 5th where they will look to see if there are any changes in the tumor.
Please continue to pray for Mimi, Nuna and JJ as they have a lot to deal with on a daily basis. Prayers are appreciated and so are the cards. Family and friends have been bringing food over and that has been a blessing since Nuna has a lot of responsibility. He doesn't like to ask for help either so if you want to do something, please feel free.
I am glad Mimi doesn't have to go to radiation but I miss having lunch with her on Fridays. I think I will have to just meet her for lunch anyways when she is up to it!
Pray that Mimi feels up to attending the scrapbooking event this Saturday with her friend Sandy (who signed her up! what an awesome friend!) It would be so good for her to get out of the house and be with such a group of ladies who will no doubt be glad to see her. God is good and I do believe in miracles and so I am asking that we all pray for just that; a miracle for Mimi to be healed. Thank you all. We love you all for your continued support of our family!

Radiation is OVER and moving forward with LIFE!
Mimi finished her last radiation treatment on Tuesday, September 8th! Yeah! She was so relieved to be done and is ready to get on with her life. She will start back up with the chemotherapy drugs next week and will take them Monday through Friday. She met with the Oncologist Wednesday, September 9th (9-9-09) and they told her her 'blood counts' were good. She has another check in two weeks for the blood count and then will have another MRI in November (may have already said that).
She is excited because today, September 10th, she is going to the Look Good, Feel Better class. This class will help her with applying makeup, hairstyle (with her new wig) and other things she can do to 'feel better'. Thankfully the cards keep coming in and I believe in the last 70+ days she has received at least one card everyday except one....that was probably my day!
Blessings to all who have been praying! Keep them coming! Love you all!
