Okay, we are not going to Oregon this week. But we are not bummed because I got a call from the radiation doctor's office yesterday and they asked me to come this morning and get started on a round of radiation treatments. Dr. Tezcan met with Dr. Davenport after my appointment on Monday and they determined that I could have more radiation treatments to shrink that dumb old tumor again that keeps growing and blocking my airway. I am so excited to be able to breathe without coughing and wheezing and to do normal activities without feeling like I just ran a marathon. And I am looking forward to going to Oregon later this summer. Maybe the corn will be ripe then. Right, Mom?
I feel good today. Like I'm finally coming out of that foggy feeling I've had since last Thursday. And I've had lots more energy today. Yipee!
My good friend, Lana, came yesterday evening carrying a big box of ingredients and she made dinner for Greg and me! Mmmm. A delicious vegetable beef stir-fry. Her husband is out of town so she ate with us and we had such a great visit. She even brough homemade brownies and ice cream for dessert. I always feel better after visiting with Lana.
And more great news! Carolyn is going to come tomorrow and stay till Monday! I'm feeling so good--maybe I can talk her into doing some shopping with me. That would be so fun!
And now that we're not going to Oregon, we won't miss Adam's official birthday party. We already celebrated with him because we thought we were going to be gone--but we're going to be able to go on Saturday for the Batman Party. And Liz and her kids are coming for the party and then they'll spend the night here. So it will be a two-sister weekend. God is good. It's amazing how yesterday I felt so sad about not going to Oregon--but now our lives will be so full this weekend. God is so good.
Greg and I are going through the book, Experiencing God, and the emphasis in the lesson the other day was on how God leads us--but He doesn't give us any details about the journey ahead of time. What a great reminder to all of us to live one day at a time and not worry about tomorrow. He gives us what we need each day. Thank you for your prayers. Love, Julie

Julie, so glad to hear you are feeling better. I am so glad to hear that you get to have radiation again, cause that seemed to help so much before. Thanks so much for the coffee pot, I love it. It made wonderful coffee for us early risers in the morning. You have such faith and perseverance...it's such a tribute to you. Just know that you are in my prayers always...Love, Kathy
