Oct 1

Well, mom is feeling pretty good. She said on Friday she got up and showered and put on makeup to go to her radiation treatment and everyone at the hospital complimented her on how pretty she looked. :) So she was excited about that.

She's lost a total of 52 lbs. now and is fitting into jeans that are too small for me! I know it's not a great way to lose weight, but anything that she sees as positive out of all this, I revere because we need to concentrate on positives. If she gets to 60, Jason, my brother, has to quit dipping so she's trying to get there to make him stop so we'll see. However, she's eating more and more each day and having things that a few weeks ago she couldn't even think about eating. I think yesterday's menu involved a hot dog and a few chips with some french onion dip. So her appetite's getting better and better everyday.

She said she's gonna try and make it to church this morning, which is great. Her pain is still there and around a 4 or 5 so continue to pray for her.

I was blown away to see you at church yesterday! Wow! Stay strong and know that lots of prayers are being sent up for you.

Krista, We went to Macon for Hembree's mom's 80th so we missed seeing you at church. Wow! Can't believe how much weight you've lost, and what a price you paid. Maybe you and I can go to the plastic surgeon in N.C. together next summer and get our excess skin tucked. I'm already setting aside savings! Vanity, thy name is woman! We do hope that everyday brings renewed strength and zest for life including lots of love and laughs. Betty
