I think Steve looks like daddy in the new picture!

Alice

She had a rough night last night, she threw-up most of the night, so they put in a pump. Hopefully this will keep her stomach empty until it wakes up from the surgery. Please say a prayer for us at church today. Monday is supposed to be the cemo port.

Love and Prayers

Love the new look of the blog

Update on Alice

They took the epidural out today and tried to put her on full liquid but she couldn't keep it down. She sat in a chair for about a hour and then had to go back to bed. We are hoping that tomorrow she may be able to try the full liquid diet again. They are putting in a port for chemo on Monday.
Please pray that she will be able to keep her food down.
Love and Prayers

Alice we love you guys and you are in our prayers. Just remember that our God is a great big God!

Praise the Lord!!!  I'm glad to hear that Alice's surgery went well.  We'll continue to pray for complete recovery and ease with the chemo treatment.

Recovery

Hi Everyone, Alice is resting well and they are going to get her up sometime today if she is able. The incision was a 9 inch vertical from the lower abdomen. The chemo Dr. said they were going to give her a treatment of chemo before she leaves if they can. They will be using Carboplatin and Taxol for about 6 to 9 treatments. The treatments will be on a 3 week schedule and will last about 4 to 5 hours each.
Thanks for the prayers and continue to pry for us

Daniel, Tell Alice that we love her and wish she was closer so we could visit.

I think someone must have hacked into my dad's email because I got an email from him today.  LOL

Looks like Grizzly Adams uncle :)

Daniel, by "complete hysterectomy" are you saying they also removed the ovaries?

Praises to the Lord God is Good.

Alice's Surgery

The doctor came in with a good report, Praise the Lord! She said they removed all the cancer that they could see. there is probably some cells that they could not see and so she will have to have at least 12 rounds of chemo. The cancer was aggressive so they will have to fight it aggressively. They removed 2 liters of fluid from her which the cancer was producing in her body. They done a total hysterectomy and took out some fat cells from her stomach. They are sure that the caner started in the uterus and not the ovaries. It was a stage 4 cancer. she will be in recovery for about an hour. We will probably be in Louisville for a week.

Daniel said she is outta surgery and they got it. Will update later

Daniel said they just took Alice in for surgery.

Daniel and Alice we are praying, for a good report.

Trish~I love the pic that you posted, I would like a copy of it, PLEASE!

Oh my goodness, she does!  And would you look at Dwayne!  

Alice, we are praying for you.  Vonda, I love the song you posted.  

It has been like Spring her the last few days...The birds are singing and I imagine the flowers are ready to pop out of the ground.  Bobbie's are prabably already bloomed.

vonda looks like Lorie in this pix!

God is bigger than anything..

Hi Everyone, Please remember us in prayer tomorrow, we go to the Hosp. in the morning for check in and the surgery is Thursday at 9:00. I'll keep you updated when I know something.

David and Julie your breakfast nook looks really nice .Good Job!!!!

David and Julie~ I love your little breakfast nook, looks great.

We finally finished our breakfast nook, just off the kitchen, where we then put the table that used to belong to Julie's Mom and Dad when she and I were going steady. Daddy and Mommy then got it and used it in her kitchen when Julie's Mom and Dad moved back to Arkansas. Teresa the flower arrangement on the table is the one we had you make for Mommy just before she died. Doesn't both of them look well together. The decoration on the wall was a Christmas gift from Michelle, Joe, and the girls in Grom Germany. Does it match well?

I can't believe how much vonda looks like lorie at that age! Great pictures:)

Hazel's son Bill called and left a message on my answering machine but he did not leave me a phone number where I could call him back. I have caller ID but it did not record a number either. I will send him a card at the address Trish provided. Thank you Trish.

Alice and Daniel we are praying for you both, continue to keep us in touch. Also, we are praying for Trish and Danny.

Dr. Visit

Hi Everyone, We just got back from the Dr. and they set Alice up for surgery on the 2 of Feb. at 9.30 at the University Hospital of Louisville. The Dr. said the surgery could take 3 to 5 hrs. Please keep us in your prayers.

So sorry to hear about Hazel, we will be praying for the family
Love and Prayers

HAZEL

I got this from our cousin tonight. I am going to try and go to the services at the cemetery and will send flowers from all of us. You know they were born within a year of each other and died almost the same way.

>
> First I have to apologize for not keeping in touch with you. Pray all is well with you and your family. Mom is doing well. She has her days where she does not feel well but at 87 years young I guess we have to expect those.
>
> I do not know if Bill has contacted you or not but Hazel passed away yesterday around 5:00. She had been in the hospital and then transfered to a nursing home. She had so many problems I don't know what it was in the end, she just went to sleep.
> There will be only a grave side service on Saturday at 11:00. She is going to be buried right out side of Beckley at Mount Tabor Cemetery where Roger, Uncle Wood, Aunt Gertie and Peachie are buried. I am taking Mom in on Friday and coming home on Sunday. We are staying at Americas Best Value Inn on Harper Road.

> Please keep us in your prayers as we travel.

Yes, your counter is beautiful! I'm envious!
Vonda, I'm glad you and David were able to be together on your birthday! I love you and want God's best for you both.

2 pictures for you

While we were gone this weekend, Mr. Wonderful (aka Steve) and Mr.
Wonderful II (aka Blain) put in a new Countertop and sink for me.
Blain talked to his mom, and she said the one they took out was at
least 40 years old. I think they got their moneys worth. This one is
cheap too, so if I get half the time out of this one that they did, I
will be satisfied. Bobbie, Don't you love the sink?? I'm going to
buy new barstools (3) if I can find some that will suit my decor! LOL

This was our trip to Vonda's. We went to church with Vonda and the
gazebo was in her church. We had a really good time. I have never
went Thrift Store Shopping at 7:30 pm, but there's a first time for
everything!!

I spoke with Alice and Daniel and they said to tell everyone that
their Internet is messed up and that's why they can't post on the
blog. They thank you for all your prayers and Alice said to put her
on every Prayer Chain you know of. She is scheduled to see a
Specialist in Louisville, KY on Wednesday. They should have their
Internet up and Running soon.

We will be praying for both of you Daniel and Alice.  Danny and Trish, we are still praying for you both.  So since they don't want to see Danny until a month and no more chemo for now, does that mean things are looking better/doing better?  Mark and I watched the movie "Courageous" tonight. It was soooo good, I cried my eyes out!!  I'm sure most of you have seen the trailer for it but I posted it above just in case you haven't.  It came out on DVD Tuesday.  Several churches around here have played it.  Love to all

Prayer

Alice, we love you and we will be holding you up in prayer.  We are expecting nothing short of a miracle!

The Family that prays together , stays together, Amen

We are on our way home from UVA. they told him no more chemo for now. We go back in one month to rescan and will thenscan every 3 months.

Thank you for using Picture and Video Messaging by U.S. Cellular. See www.uscellular.com for info.

Yes, the fastest way to the Lord is to bend your knee in prayer. He is always listening and the giver of every good and perfect gift. Yes, mother did set the perfect example. Pray first and leave the consequences to the Lord.

We will all be praying ,God is Good , and he is still in the healing business,AMEN

We just found that the Dr. believes Alice has some type of cancer in the abdomen or possibly in the uterus. We are going tomorrow to see the Dr. bout a biopsy to see what kind. Please pray for us.

Love and Prayers

Amen and Amen!  We need to remember Trish and Danny today, as well.  I believe it is their Dr. Appts in Charlottesville.  It's times like these that we really miss Mommy, huh?  She was always a phone call away and just talkin' to her made you feel better.  But I remember a few years back, Bobbie said, "We are going to have to start praying for our own families, because Mommy ain't always going to be here."  Not that we can't pray for each other, but the point she was making was that we counted almost entirely on Mommy's prayin'.  I'm glad she taught us that we could pray too.

When I am alone, Jesus still loves me.
When I am broken, Jesus always fixes me.
When I am troubled, Jesus never forsakes me.

No matter what I'm going through, Jesus is always there. ♥

We all have our up's and down's , But my God is still on the Throne and he know's our needs before we ask,So Let's Just praise Him for Who He is , and Trust in Him to supply Our every need according to His Will.Thank you Jesus.

Please remember us in prayer also. Alice is having to see the Dr. today.
Love and Prayers

Hope everyone has a great day today. I would like to ask you all to remember me ,mom and the kids in prayer today.It is going to be a long one.Love you all.

Teresa, you are definitely in your element dear. You make the simplest things lovely! You are right Lorie, that is not my gift either!

Decorations

Theresa the Valentine stuff looks awesome. I have never been one to decorate for anything.I guess I just don't have that talent. The most I do is pictures on the fridge that the kids color or make at school.
