Happy Thanksgiving!!

Monday I went back to the surgeon and all looks well on the expansion. Now we let things heal and do the reconstruction after the holidays.
As I think about my life this year I know I so blessed. I have a home, food, clean water and all the comforts our country affords. I am thankful for all of this and for the men and women who fight to keep us safe so we can live in a free country. So many countries do not have the luxuries we have as Americans yet we forget what and who is important.  I am especially thankful to God who has blessed me with all that I have. Without Him I am nothing... but with Him I am everything. Thank you Father for your love.
Last but not least I am so thankful for my family. I have a wonderful husband, smart and handsome son, beautiful daughter, a son-in-law who I love as much as if I had given birth to him, a funny, beautiful, precious granddaughter and a sweet grandbaby due next year. Thank you God for them all!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all... Love and prayers from our home to yours.

She Who Wears A Pink Ribbon

My husband gave me the most beautiful bookmark the other day. This is what it says....

She Who Wears A Pink Ribbon

Some women face the impossible...
an internal battle for life
that connects them with
a strength they never
knew they had.
Each has an opportunity
to reach further than
she ever dreamed possible.

With the heart of a true survivor,
she sets the course of her journey,
expanding her horizons
to share her knowledge
with those around her.
Most of all, she serves as
a shining example
of how to survive.

Her constant prayer...
a cure in her lifetime.

For herself, her family
and her friends,
she wears a pink ribbon.

Thanks Wayne. I love you more than you could possibly know.

Final Expansion

I finished my last expansion today. Other than muscle spasms in my chest all is well. I am ready to finish this but it takes time. At least it will be finished by the time my new grandchild arrives :) Emily Daniel and Lydia are expecting and we should have a better due date on the 17th. I go on the 21st so that the surgeon can make sure all looks fine and then in a few months we do the big surgery and after 6 weeks I should be good to go. As Thanksgiving approaches I have so much to be thankful for. I am one blessed lady and I am so thankful for all God does. I don't deserve it but I am  humbled and thankful that He loves me anyways.
