We also got FABULOUS news about my g'pa yesterday!! He {finally} had his appointment with his new 'sarcoma' specialist. My mom said this doctor is an AMAZING man! He spent nearly 2 hours with my g'pa and even went to the pathology labs to view the slides of the tumors himself. Here is what he said:
- He thinks they can get my g'pa into remission (they will just have to watch him closely because the kind of cancer that he has could easily come back somewhere else).
- He said the the cancer is not hereditary.
- The cancer is more than likely a mutation of his genes due to something he was exposed to at some point in his life (probably when he was a teenager or younger)
- He is back on Chemo but will we off the week of Christmas! YAY!
Most importantly...he is feeling better! Yesterday he ate a meal in a restaurant for the 1st time in a MONTH! And he ate it all...and enjoyed himself. You all have not idea what a HUGE deal this is.
I know all of your prayers are working. God is great! :)
So, I have a lot to be thankful for. I am officially back in the Christmas spirit. I am doing my Christmas shopping this weekend. Oh, and this is my 99th post...which means my next one will be my 100th--I will have to think of something FABULOUS to blog about!
As for now... I leave you with this...
How is it that Christina Aguilera looks better naked and pregnant than most people (including myself) look every day without a human growing inside of them?
Oh yeah, airbrushing.
Happy Thursday!

Yes - airbrushing and a little bit of perfect on the side! Ughhh!
Hey Kelly-
Have you seen that Dove commerical that shows this relatively "average" looking woman. And then in a furry, they do her makeup, fabulous-up her hair, take her picture, and then airbrush/digitize the heck out of her. It ends with the "And we wonder why we have such a bad self image"-ish statement.
I always wonder what celebs and what not look like in real life. I mean like the whole Jennifer Love Hewitt being "fat". Crazy crazy!
I'm with you- just don't gain any weight over Christmas and that's a big accomplishment in itself.
Good luck! Keep us posted!

I'm glad your day was better! And I'm glad the doctor had some better things to say about your grandpa, I will continue to remember him in my prayers. umm, yuck on Christina Aguilera...
Glad you are having a better day! And glad to hear your grandpa is doing a little better! Sounds like you have a lot going on this holiday season! Hey, tomorrow,s Friday and then the weekend! Have a Fabulous Friday! Love your blog design by the way.
That is great news about your G'pa. I will keep him in my prayers for sure. I dont even want to think about what I am going to look like naked and pregnant. Ugh, I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
That evening sounds perfect! I could use one JUST LIKE YOURS!
I wonder what I would look like with a little airbrushing??
