Awesome Weekend!

What a great weekend at the lake.  The weather was so hot but I have A/C in my little trailer so I was so comfortable.  Mark went and played at his favorite spot (casino) and I just laid around reading, watching movies, visiting with friends.  I love walking my little puppy around especially in the morning before the sun comes up.  The sun rise is so beautiful.  It is my favorite time of the day.

Yesterday was Father's Day and Mark and I got to watch our grand kids for a few hours.  I'm so amazed how much Little Markie is talking.  He watered plants with Papa and then came to me and said he was tried watering and wanted milk.  He reminds me so much of my son, Mark.  Yesterday Mark took him to the Parents and Puppies ice skating session.  He told me "I did it Nana".  He said the ice was cold and slippery.
Little Markie loves to help.  He helps me weed and helps his Dad wash the car.  Papa is so proud of him.  Here he is washing his little car.

My little girl is growing so fast.  She is crawling, well going backwards, sitting up and rolling over.  Trouble begins now.  Erin said soon we will be able to get her ears pierced.  Nana gets to buy her first diamond earrings.  She loves jewelry.  She grabs my necklaces and bracelets all the time.  I told her Dad he is in big trouble with her.  Six months old.  I'm so blessed to have this time with them. 

No side effects yet from the second dose of Cytoxan.  Just alot of problems with my GI tract.  Dr. Dana said this is the chemo and steroid.  It could be the amyloid in the stomach and colon but she said as time goes on and if the amyloid increases in these areas I will have problems.  I asked her about meeting with a dietitian but she said with the drugs I take it wouldn't help.  Besides I watch what foods effect my GI tract and try to stay away from those.  It's funny reading the labels on my chemo and other drugs say the same thing "can cause nausea and ......."

Funny!!!!  Oh that is what happens in the middle of the night!!

Have a wonderful week and remember every moment is a gift!  I am so rich and full of gifts!!!!!

Love,
Debbie
