The mystery of why I've been feeling so tired and lousy is solved. The doctor told me it was from the new chemo I started last month. I was used to feeling lousy for a couple of days right after chemo, and then snapping back. But Dr. T explained that this chemo is different and the side affects hit much later. And they are not fun. We're hoping that with one more day of rest, I'll feel like traveling to Oregon. So we're not planning to leave till Wednesday.
We had a great time visiting with my Uncle Wayne and Aunt Winona today. They are traveling from Minnesota to Oregon and stopping to visit relatives and friends along the way. They are so interested in our lives and our children's lives. When I was three years old I was one of the flower girls at their wedding.
I am so thankful for my family and friends and thankful for all your calls lately. Thank you, most of all, for your prayers. Love, Julie

Hi Julie, I think that must be sort of good news about it being the chemo that is making you feel bad and not some infection or bug. While the chemo is making you feel crappy - it is also kicking the tumors' behinds:) I hope you feel good enough to go tomorrow - I will (as always) be praying for you and your family. You are an amazing person and inspire me every day! Love, Susan
PS - it has been great to hear the thunk of the basketball in your driveway with Jake home - it brings back many memories of Jake taking time so often to play BB with Kale!
I love you guys!!
Hi Julie,
I have been keeping up with your blog to see when another visit would be best for you. I am sorry to hear that you have not been feeling well. I will keep watching so that I can visit when you get back. You are in my families prayers daily. We love you and your family.

P.S. I am hoping to leave the girls home next time I visit so that we can um... talk. :)
My blog has some cute photos of the girls so that you can see them too. ;) http://tobringnyahome.blogspot.com
I'm glad you had a good visit with Wayne and Winona. They were going to stop and visit my dad in Walla Walla after they left your house. He was really looking forward to it. I'm praying you'll feel well enough to go on your trip!
Love, Cindy
