Mama seems to be on the mend. Her mouth and throat sores are slowly beginning to heal. She is able to eat better. Of course, soft foods go down the easiest. Her last blood tests showed her counts are now coming back up. After so many set backs and complications, we are so thankful for her now being on the "Up Swing".
Mama has been able to get out of the house several times and experience some low keyed fun. Thursday, Daddy took her for a drive and went out to visit Grandma (Daddy's mom) in Onalaska. They had a good visit. On Friday, Mama's niece Dayla came and took care of her. Dayla made Mama's day by taking her down to watch little Sadie's swimming lessons. Sadie was thrilled to have them there. Today, Daddy and Mama got out and did a little shopping. She came back home real tired and took a nap to recharge her batteries. This evening, Troy, Maria, Sadie & Nate, my son Carson and myself were up at Mama & Daddy's visiting and looking at old family photos. As always, Sadie and Nate kept us entertained with all their cute little things they say and do. We had a nice time together. It's been so difficult watching Mama suffer day after day, so seeing her so happy today was a salve to my heart. Thank you Lord.
Tomorrow (Sunday) will be her last day of freedom, before her appointments in Seattle begin on Monday. Monday, Mama will have a PET scan. Tuesday, she will have a MRI and then we will meet with the doctor to hear the results of the scans and find out what's next. (Surgery or Radiation?) Please pray for wisdom for the doctors and for good test results. We covet your prayers.
With love,
Carmen
She is beautiful. She is brave. She is loved.

Big week,starting Monday! You'll brave it all, because God knows you are a winner and have many a story to tell your grandchildren and many a memory to make with them in the future. We'll have you on our minds and hearts all week as in past weeks. Love you bunches and let's get this behind once and for all. We're with you and pray for you every day Dahlin Deva. I don't know how God knew to put such a beautiful and special person on his earth. But, he knows best. I'm so glad to be your cousin. I feel more like your brother. We have so many memories to relive about days in the old swing Pa Kempf had on the farm and in town. Wish I had that swing.
Lovin' you Dahlin' Deva

I'm so happy to be your cousin, too, Deva! And we're praying, too, that Monday and Tuesday will be good days and that chemo is behind you once and for all! Our God is in control as He's been through all of this and it's His loving hands that are guiding you through this whole ordeal. He loves you so much and so do we! Karl and Candi
