We found out today that mom has yet another UTI. This has been continual for the past several months. I do believe they are going to send her to a urologist this time. She has been in bed the entire day, and really not feeling well at all. Please pray that the doctor will be able to determine why she is getting the infections, and be able to treat it effectively.

We went out to lunch with mom and dad today after church. We celebrated Jonah's birthday, and had a good time. She is not feeling so well tonight, she is nauseaus, and getting some leg/foot pain.

She finished up her medication for her UTI today, but she still does not think it is completely gone. Please pray specifically that the doctor would be able to figure out what the cause of the infection is, and that he will be able to find something to get rid of it. She has been fighting this infection for so long, and it is wearing on her.

Morgan is in a play this weekend, and mom really would like to go, so please pray that she would feel well enough to go see one of her performances.

Will try to update again soon if there are any changes. Thanks for praying.

Another chemo down :) Only five more treatments to go!! Chrisi went to chemo with mom this morning. They changed locations for her treatment this time, and for some odd reason, it went much faster. She went in at 8:00 this morning, and I called Chrisi about 12:30, and they were on their way out!!

That was a nice surprise for mom! I kept asking her if they forgot to give her something, it was just so much quicker than last time! One huge praise, they were able to access the port for chemo! They still were not able to get a blood return, but at least we seem to be making progress. By the time we get to treatment number seven, everything should be perfect :)

Mom was also encouraged because both of her chemo nurses seemed surprised that she hadn't lost her hair yet! Of course, she has lost her hair, but she has an amazing wig, and they couldn't even tell!!

The doctor gave her another prescription for pain. She had such pain last time with her knees and feet, they are hoping that this will work better. We are also thanking the Lord that her UTI seems to be getting better. This has been a continual struggle for the past several weeks, and we are really praying that it is gone for good!

Things are going well. We have a long way to go, but know that God is in control, and HE will bring us through this.

Mom called me this morning, and told me that she was feeling great! It has been a long time since I have heard her say anything like that! We are so grateful for the good days.

Thank you also for praying about her CT scan. We got good news today, the scan was clear. We are so grateful to the Lord to have an encouraging report. We still do not know what is causing the pressure on her bladder, but are so relieved to know it is not another abscess or the cancer :) Please pray with us that the pressure would go away, or that the doctor would be able to find out what is causing the problem.

We have so many things to be thankful for today. Thank you all again.
