My Deepest Sympathy & Condolences....

South Carolina church in Charleston on June 18, 2015.
 

 

Let not your hearts be troubled;

believe in God, believe also in me.

In my Father's house are many rooms;

if it were not so, would I have told

you that I go and prepare a place

for you? And when I go and prepare a place

for you, I will come again and will

take you to myself, that where I am

you may be also.

John 14: 1-3

 

 

He heals the brokenhearted

and binds up their wounds

[curing their pains and

their sorrows]. ~ Psalm 147:3

 

Happy Birthday Matthew....

Lost in the Fifties- Another Time, Another Place

Six Years Later.....

 

November 2009:  

It has been six years since my (daughter's children) three grandchildren came to live with us.  Where has the time gone...seems like it was just yesterday!  Life goes by so fast, try not to blink because you could miss out on some precious memories.

Time Changes Everything!

It was September 2011 when I went into Chemo Fever and had to be hospitalized for a week, that is when Zachary went to live with my son Ron and his wife Jill for about a year and then went on to live with his Dad, Dads girlfriend Courtney and their baby Jaxson....His mother Jennifer has joint custody so he goes back and forth between both places and is getting by....Desiree left us in August of 2013 and is quite happy and still doing great in school.  It is amazing how in a blink of an eye life has changed more than you could or ever would have thought.

 July 2011

In July of 2011 I found out quite by accident that I had a tumor in my right lung and if I did not get it taken care of I would be dead by the end of that year! 

The tumor turned out to be Small Cell Carcinoma (limited) to the right lung.  It can not be operated on because it is near too many blood vessels and will just show up somewhere else in the body.  I have had my three rounds of Chemo and my two rounds of Radiation.  I wait now for three months at a time and then go back to have a cat scan to make sure it has not spread.  It likes to hide in the body and well they just don't have the equipment today to actually find it but I know soon they will with the way technology is today it won't be long.

When I say I found out quite by accident I did....I went to the ER under the impression that I had "food poisoning!"  I h ad bought some almonds from "Sam's Club"  and I was eating then when all of a sudden I become deathly ill, stomach pains like you wouldn't believe, vomiting, it was terrible....well I don't go to the Dr.'s so I let it work it's way through me.  Well like an idiot I ate more the next day...and the same thing happened....Alright of to the ER I go....I am really sick....never felt like this before ever! 

I was in the ER for six hours, the one man came in and said, we think you have pneumonia so we are going to take a cat scan of your chest.  The stomach pains had gone away.  An hour later the man came in and said to me, you have a tumor in your lung and the size of it has collapsed your right upper lung by the airways.  You will need a biopsy done right away.  Needless to say I had to think about all of this...I told the man I was going home, I had three grandchildren circling the parking lot with my husband as the driver because it was 1'o'clock in the morning.  I had custody of all three of my grandchildren at this time.....

 

 I needed to go home and think this through.  Which of course I did but against the Doctors wishes. 

After lots of chemo and radiation and opting for the prophylactic cranial radiotherapy (PCR is usually given to people who have this type of lung cancer which is called small cell lung cancer SCLC).

I am now getting my scans done, after my chest scans read alright I am given chest and or (depends) abdominal or brain scans (if needed) every three months then every four months....so on and so on.  Right now I am going every six months at this time. So far so good...Only God knows for it is His plan!

Desiree graduates from High School in June and will be going to College for Nursing, Zachary will be going into the ninth grade and lives with his Dad and visits often with his Mother, Ryan still lives with my husband and I and he will be finishing Kindergarten in June 2015.

An Important Fact....You Might Not Have Known......

Cleaning Your Oven Overnight

First get together all these ingredients:

•Water
•Spray Bottle
•Baking Soda
•Vinegar
•Small Bowl
•Wash Cloth

Once you have all the ingredients above available, follow these easy instructions to make cleaning your oven an easy 1-2-3 task.
1.Take out the oven racks.
2.Spoon out several tablespoons of baking soda and mix it with water in the small bowl. Mix until a paste has been created. It should be fairly thick.
3.Now spread the baking soda paste all over the inside of your oven (it will turn brown). Let the paste sit there overnight or for at least 12 hours.
4.After it has sit for 12 hours, take a wet wash cloth and wipe out as much of the baking soda paste as you can.
5.Then put the vinegar into a spray bottle and spray anywhere you still see dried baking soda paste. Next wipe it down with the wet wash cloth.
6.Then simply replace the oven racks and set the oven to a low temperature for 15-20 minutes to let it dry.

Never before has been cleaning your oven so easy and struggle-free. And you can also clean your oven window as well.
1.Make more baking soda paste
2.Put the paste all over the oven window and let it set for 30 minutes.
3.Use a clean wash cloth to wipe down the window until it is clean.
