Up date on Scott

Last week Scott finished 28 days of chest radiation he went through this better than expected with having only a little discomfort when swallowing. Although, he was tired most of the time due to the treatments. He has kept a very good out look through out it all while in treatments he has seemed to make some new friends, that's how he is!!!

Two weeks ago Sunday our daughter and niece put together a very nice benefit that raised enough money to carry us through the winter months. Many of our elementary, middle school and high school friends contacted on another and came to support us! It was so uplifting for Scott to see so many who cared.

Last week some of his buddies came over to grant one of his wishes, to build a wood playset for Jesse, Julie and his grandchildren. They completed it in two days, but the work seemed to knock him out. It was great to see Scott up and around for those couple of days and we thought his treatments were over, since his nurse didn't think he had any more scheduled. We were pretty excited about the free time ahead without having to run to the hospital.

Today, Scott saw his doctor who informed him that he would like to continue at least two more chemo treatments before his scheduled MRI or ct-scan next month. And he said his blood count was low which helped us understand why he is so tired. This latest news really got to us, we just want the treatments over!!! Scott is warn out from lying in bed, frustrated that he can't do more. Maybe bye Thanksgiving we will be through.

Over the last two weeks Scott has received many cards from sharecard (think that is what it is called), Michelle, owner of Paperthreads had enrolled Scott to receive cards of support. He enjoys opening each one and seeing the awesome work that others have put into the cards. He shares them with his friends when they drop bye and the kids just love helping him open!!!

I want to thank all the designers, the owner of Paperthreads and their customers who pitched in with a fundraiser for the past three months that allowed us to pay our mortgage and bills. Some of the customers sent in personal checks and want to remain unknown, we are ever so grateful! And our prayers go out to each and everyone who participated!!!

Sorry for such long delay in updating you! I have been fighting my own demons, depression! Never new the exhaustion of depression till last month but I know I'll make it!!! Knowing so many care really helps Thank you for your prayers and loving support.

God bless you!
