4th of July

Mom and Shirley Planning Ladies Trip :)

The 4th came and went and we all had a great time. The group included Dad, Mom, Great Grandma, Tom, Cindy, Brandon, Tim, Bea, Phillip and Cassie, Steve, Teresa, Kelsey, Nik, Jake, Shirley, Mike, Sam, Diane (Mike's mom) and Laurie (Mike's sister). Alex spent the day with his dad and Crystal and Matt spent the day with his family. The kids were shooting off fireworks during the day. We stopped for a while to celebrate Sam's 15th birthday. She got some great gifts and I am sure she had a great time. The kids then went swimming and Tommy grilled some burgers and hot dogs and brats that were absolutely delicious. Great cook!!!! We finished off with some night time fireworks. No injuries and it was a great show.

The next morning Mom, Cindy, Shirley, Sam and I were up bright and early and met for breakfast and then we went to the flea market in Leavenworth. We went to some other antique stores as well and had a fun morning.

This week brings us back to our normal routine. Back on Chemo Tuesday. Yuck. Shirley actually sees the doctor on this visit. That doesn't happen enough in my opinion. They like to schedule people to see the "Physicians Assistant". (Whatever) We should get the results of her MRI on her hip and we will get an update on her tumor markers. This will let us know if the chemo continues to work.

So please pray for Shirley's chemo to still be doing it's job and shrinking those tumors. And pray the hip pain she has been having is something other than cancer causing it.
