Raelynn ReaUpdate! My youngest daughter surprised Ed and I last week by driving home from Virginia. What a blessing! And the following day, one of her friends from Northern California drove down and another one drove in from LA. They descended on my house like three fairy godmother’s. They organized my refrigerator. They got all of …
Well, I am back in my favorite resort, the hospital. My system just wants to do what it wants to do and we have to get it back in line. God is so gracious with me. He has sent me a doctor that sees me every day and prays with me and my own doctor …
Good morning, my friends. I’m just going to quickly get you caught up on what’s happening with me. It’s been a pretty rough couple weeks. I was finishing up radiation, and, as radiation can do, it was causing lots of nasty side effects. It was starting to get a little hard to control. My pain …
I have been fighting an infection lately, which has me down a little more than I’d like to be. But as I was laying down today to take a little nap, I heard something outside my window. It was a little frog, and he was chirping happily out there and it made me smile. It …

So, my first radiation treatment went very well today, with no issues. I will get a total of 30, I think anyway. You know, it’s interesting to me that in all of this, I have not had to struggle to stay under His wing. It just has happened. I understand so much better now when …
Morning!!!!! It has been a rough couple of weeks, but God has once again proved so faithful. Two surgeries and 4 days in the hospital. My kidneys suffered a lot of damage from the chemo and decided to shut down. But all is well now and I’m back in the fight. I start radiation today. …
Oh my goodness! I opened my Facebook page this morning and saw the most beautiful posts from so many of you. My heart is completely overwhelmed and full. And my eyes are filled with tears of gratitude. I am humbled. Thank you so much for all of your beautiful kind comments! So much encouragement and …
A few days ago, I told you that I had completed my chemo and was getting ready to start radiation but I had to complete a couple tests first. Those test turned out to show that my cancer has spread in spite of the chemo. I am going to hopefully find out a little bit …
