I was ROR'd (check Law and Order [or ask Austin] for explanation) and worked Tuesday through Friday. I love my students and here are some snippets of the best language heard in the speech office at McGaugh, "This flower is for you, my mommy buyed it at the flower store", "Is that a big pink flower?" (clearly it was...rhetorical questions abound with my students), "I like that big pink flower" and "hope you feel better, Mrs. Ruiz." Staying home was hard...lots of time to think about cancer...as I was driving to pick-up Chloe from school on Monday, stopped at a red light at Carson and Clark and having a particularly teary moment I looked up and saw the MOST beautiful rainbow...God is Good All the Time!!! A list is coming soon...The Blessings Involved with my Cancer Diagnosis-there are many.
Saw the Radiation Oncologist yesterday(OK I could be his mom). We have a plan (36+) radiation treatments with External Beam Radiation (EBR), but the start date is still undetermined as we will review the results of the Oncotype DX study with my 'regular' Oncologist, Dr. Janis (he could be my dad) on Tuesday afternoon. So many men (doctors) so little time... If Chemotherapy is indicated then radiation therapy will have to wait until chemo is completed. We should have a plan in place after Tuesday's appt.
304 College Park Drive is starting to look a lot like Christmas...the It's A Wonderful Life Village and Lionel Train are up. Christmas carols are blaring from the IPod...Life is Good! I played BOTH my handbells in rehearsal today and it was the BEST feeling since my diagnosis (11/12/09-exactly one month ago). I can't wait for tomorrow's Christmas Concerts...
My favorite quote of the Season..."I Believe...the best Gift I ever received came wrapped in swaddling clothes"
I Believe...
Will Post after Tuesday's appointment.
Thanks for your continued Love, Prayers and Support,
Jeanne

ReplyDeleteGod is good - and amazing! It is incredible to watch God work in our lives as we face trials. I know that the blessings you referenced are real and bountiful (we experienced the same during Joshua's journey). The fact that you recognize the blessings for what they are is a loud testimony of your faith and of God's love and care. Unexpected blessings create some of our most treasured memories! We will continue to lift you up in prayer and offer thanks for your strong faith and example!
ReplyDeleteYour strong heart never ceases to inspire the masses, Jeanne. You are amazing!
