Dr. T says not to worry

My friend, Debbie King, took me to my appointment at the Cancer Center where I had the PTT blood test that determines how much heparin they put in my shots. I asked the very nice nurse if she could find out about the biopsy I had last Tuesday. She checked on the computer and told me that she couldn't get all the information and she told me she would talk to Dr. Tezcan. When I got home she called me and said that Dr. Tezcan told her to tell me to have fun and enjoy my vacation at the Oregon Coast next week. (He knows I plan to go to Oregon this weekend with Carolyn and Rob.) He said for me not to be concerned and we'll talk about it at my Sept. 14 appointment. So I've decided once again not to worry! Worrying puts a little dark cloud over things and I want to enjoy each day.

Greg, Jake, Emily, Hannah and Matthew are traveling back from Tacoma now. Nick, Adam and I came back last night. We helped Betsy and Cam move into their very old but charming house in Tacoma. It was so fun to see the little boys playing and to watch Hannah working so hard right along side the grown-ups. My favorite memory of the weekend was listening to Emily and Betsy work cleaning and organizing Betsy's kitchen. They were such a good team and I loved hearing them laugh. I was in the living room with little boys who were having the time of their lives playing in boxes.

Carolyn and Rob plan to be here Friday night and I will leave with them Saturday morning and we'll travel to Oregon. They will drop me off at Mom and Dad's and go directly to the beach. Mom and Dad and I will join them at the house they've rented at Yachats on Monday. I'm very excited! The house is right on the ocean.

"Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for what He has done. Then you will experience God's peace which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:6-7
Thank you for your love and prayers. Love, Julie
