Big Day - Scarry Day- Surgery Day

Tuesday Sept. 28th -- Jodi is going in for Surgery today. Her platelet count is back up, so she got a green light on the surgery. She will have a double Mascetomy. I will know more after the actual surgery. Please keep her in your prayers. She had a good two weeks since her last treatment. Hope her recovery will be eventless. We love you Jodi!!

Treatment #4

Yesterday Jodi had her 4th Chemo treatment. It took a lot longer than it has in the past. After three treatment, and knowing what is ahead the next few day, the anxiety attack came hard. Her heart was monitored, and exrays of her lungs all seemed ok.

I know she is worried about Lia also. Lia is having a very hard time coping with her mom being sick, never knowing what to expect has got to be hard. Tylia is compassionate and caring and wants to help, but there is not much she can do, to help her mom. We are seeing a lot frustration and behavior issues. She has been out of school for a few days because of illness, and that has been hard for her also.

Tom got his badge at the Hurricane Fire Dept. last week. Here are some pictures. Jodi was feeling pretty good that day.

Treatment #3

One more treatment today. Jodi is feeling alright, tomorrow she will be sick. She was sooo sick last treatment that this time they gave her some different nausea medication, and two different kinds, hope it helps. I have been real bad about taking pictures. Someone need to remind me, so we can post pictures of her, and her family, as well as the activities we are involved in on her behalf.
The Yard sale was a huge success. We had a lot of items left from the bake sale that I put in the freezer. Yesterday at a neighborhood bake sale we were able to sell almost everything, plus so much of the neighbors goodies they made special for this activity. It was also a great success.
We were able to have a little success at the Corn Fest, but the wind was determined to blow us right out of Enterprise. Thanks to everyone who helped and supported Jodi in that event.

Enterprise Cornfest

Here are some pics from the cornfest last weekend in Enterprise. The wind made is pretty miserable. Thanks to everyone who came and supported us and for those that worked so hard to make it happen.

In the Dark...

So I was hoping that this blog would help all of us keep connected with Jodi and give Jodi a place to write her thoughts and feelings and keep us all updated on her status.

Instead, I am her sister and totally clueless as to what is going on with Jodi. I think she had her 2nd Chemo treatment last week but haven't been able to get a hold of her for over a week.

Jodi, if you read this, I hope that you are feeling well and things are just crazy busy for you and your not super sick. I keep you on my thoughts always and in my prayers daily.

I love you so much and hope all is well.

Yard and Bake Sale

Here are the pictures from the Yard and Bake Sale. It was a great success!! We are so grateful for all of those that came, donated, and participated with the family. We have the best family and friends in the whole world. We love you Jodi and love that beatiful smile!!!

Jodi says, "Yea, I am not a Mutant"

Donations for the Yard sale are coming in by the truck loads. Thanks You, Thank You!

What Cancer CANNOT do.....

Cancer is so limited....
It cannot cripple love,
It cannot shatter hope,
It cannot corrode faith,
It cannot destroy peace,
It cannot kill friendship,
It cannot invade the soul,
It cannot silence courage,
It cannot steal eternal life,
It cannot suppress memories,
It cannot conquer the Spirit.

Locks Of Love

I want to post this before we get further into the treatment. When Jodi's Niece Katie found out she would be having treatment that will cause her hair to fall out. She started talking about Lock Of Love. Realizing this is for children, Katie said, "Mom, I know Aunt Jodi probably won't get my hair, but there is a tiny tiny chance she will, I want to cut off my hair for her" Wow. Here are a few of the Pictures we took While McKensie Cut Katie's beautiful auburn hair.

McKensie Came over late on Saturday night. Jodi came early on Sunday morning, and Katie surprised her when she came walking up the stairs carrying her braid. It was kind of emotional.
Here is Jodi and Lia with Katie and Tyson Clark (Lacie's Kids)
