The Doctors visit yesterday went good. I have him a list of all of the side effects or effects that the flu, etc may have been causing. The doctor still wasn't convinced the whole thing was flu either since it was my first week on chemo. He said if it happened again this week we would change up the dosages, but he really wanted to stick with the program if at all possible. He gave me an iv if nausea medication which made me feel better right off the bat!
This morning I woke up feeling good. I knew I would since I had taken my 10 steroid pills yesterday. I made the most of my day doing as many things as I could today :) I sure hope I feel this good tomorrow!! I got a lot done today. Love it!
I came home and ate the delicious home made chicken soup MJ made me! Yummy! Roland ate some too, we loved it!
It did the trick! I am sleepy and ready to hit the hay!
Lord, I love you!
Thank you for a wonderful day today. Thank you for the sunshine, feeling good and everyone you put in my path today!
Lord- Thank you for my wonderful friends! They are truly a blessing!
In Your Precious Sons Name I pray -Amen

Day Eight- Getting Going
Well I didn't make it to work yesterday, just couldn't stand up and keep my stomach. Laying down was the only thing that would settle it. I was so hungry that I had Haylee bring me a chicken fried steak and mashed potato dinner from Nancy's Steakhouse and it tasted good while eating it, but it didn't stay for long! I think I will stick to soup for the next few days until I get my stomach back.
I am going to go in to work this morning and see what I can get done and then go to the doctors office in the afternoon. I have a chemo treatment again. I am a little nervous since I am still not sure if I had the flu or if it was the treat mention that made me feel so bad. I take my steroids this morning and this afternoon. Wish me luck! :)
Lord-
I know you are in control of everything and I know you will not give me more than I can handle. Please be with me today to get through the day making headway with my work and also with my treatment. I pray for a smooth day filled with the people and events that you would like me to intermix with doing Your will for my life. Thank you for the strength to get up and get moving. Thank you for Your grace and mercy, Father God. Please guide and direct me all day with the Holy Spirit. In Your precious Son's name, Jesus Christ I pray- Amen

Day Six - I am still here
I can finally lift my head a little without that horrible nauseating feeling. I have been so sick the past couple of days I didn't think I was going to make it. When I stand up is when I feel dizzy, nausea and unbalanced. I went to the doctor on Friday....thank goodness for my sister n law Louetta, she was going to a wedding in Houston so she stopped by and picked me up and took me to my doctors office in Houston and waited for Roland to get there before leaving. She is wonderful! She helped me get dressed...I couldn't believe that lifting my head would be such a chore. I've never been this sick in my life. I have never carried a fever for days and sweat as much as I sweat. It was like out of the movies. The doctor didn't know if it was the flu or my treatment, he told me to keep taking the Tamiflu. I couldn't take one more of those pills...constant verge of puking is not a good feeling so this morning I decided not to take it anymore. I hope that I can stand up and walk around tomorrow since I have to work. So Friday when I was in the height of my sickness my phone never stopped ringing with work and people needing bids by Monday and there I was feeling like poo. I am hoping I feel good enough to go walk a couple of bids and get them turned in.
The only way I have made it through is by the strength The Lord gave me because I felt horrible.
Thank you Lord for the strength to make it just a little further. Thank you for sending little angels like Louetta when I need them the most. Thank you for giving me just what I need. I love you dear Jesus. Please be with Dennis's brother who was just diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma and his family to be the strength that he will need supporting him. I pray that the doctors have the wisdom and knowledge to obliterate it and cast it to hell never to be seen again. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Day Three - Crashing
Well I woke up this morning feeling very achy. Complete turn from Wednesdays great feeling. No matter what I had to get up because I had a busy day ahead of me. I think the good and wonderful feeling from Wednesday came from the steroids I took on Tuesday along with all other meds. Now I had to muscle through it and get all my appointments done then come home and rest. The day felt like it would never end! I drove all over creation, even to LaPorte. I stopped off at Walgreens and bought a thermometer because I knew I had a fever. I was right, the fever got up to 102.5. I called the doctors office and they spoke with Dr. A and they called in some Tamiflu and told me to take it tonight and they would do another CBC tomorrow to see what all is going on. I finally made it home to Columbus, Texas to the house. Roland stopped off and got the medication for me and Haylee was a trooper and fixed dinner, love her for that!
Lord, Thank you for getting me home safely. Thank you for putting your hand in every area of my work today allowing things go smoothly even when it seemed like there was going to be a speed bump in the road, you took care of it, Thank you! I love you dear Lord and praise Your Holy name! In Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
I am off to sleep:) Good night and sweet dreams! I am hoping I feel better in the morning.

Day Two - Battle Red, Warriors in Action
I woke up today and felt good! I think I even felt better than I did day before which amazed me. I only have lower back pain that has lasted all day. Doctor A said that he wants me to drink a lot of water to flush my system out while removing the Myeloma.
I have had a really busy day today. I had an CAI awards breakfast meeting, work, lunch, work, work, then a HAA Ambassador meeting. It was so uplifting that a lot of my friends wore Battle Red because I am in battle and they are true Warriors! My prayer warriors and warriors out to encourage my battle and fight this enemy! I am blessed to have such caring friends. All in all I had a good day and feel well! Thank you Lord for Your wonderful surprises! Feeling even better than I did before treatment was the best surprise I could have ever gotten!
Father God,
Thank you for your grace and mercy. Thank you for loving me and always taking care of me.
Thank you for always amazing me with your power! You give me just what I need each day! The surprise was a big bonus! Thank you!
Thank you and I praise You Lord!
In Jesus Christ name,
-Amen

Day One - January 15, 2013
Day One
Healing is on it's Way!
Healing is on it's Way!
Day One
Healing is on the Way!!
Today was my first day of treatment for Multiple Myeloma and it went well! I am so happy that I am on my way to a healing and a journey in which God is in control and has so many surprises!
The way I even found out that I have Multiple Myeloma was God looking after me as he always does. I thought that I had torn my rotator cuff sometime in September. Well I finally went to my hometown doctor and he said that we would have to do an x-ray before we could do an MRI which needed to be done. I told him I was changing insurance companies in the next month and he said that I was due for some tests anyway so while I was over at the hospital to go ahead and get some blood test done there also. After almost four weeks I called them to get results. I found out that I needed to see a specialist and after numerous tests and two bone marrow biopsies I found out I am early part of stage two Multiple Myeloma. Although it was a shocker and after getting over that it was me that it was happening to and now, I know and can feel that God has a plan for me and that I will get through this with His help and guidance and a whole truck load of FAITH! Faith is an action and I am in action with Faith! I am positive that God does not give you anything you can not handle...and with God I can do anything! Every person that has helped me either nurses, doctors and x-ray techs have all been sent from The Lord! I feel the love and know by all of the caring and kindness that they are sent from Him.
Today was the first day of all of my medications. I have a cocktail of drugs that will work together to completely get rid of all of the Myeloma and then I will be ready to go to MD Anderson to do a Stem Cell Transplant. Jesus is the Miracle worker and I stand on the authority of His word Matthew 10;1.
Father, in the name of Jesus and the authority of Your Word, I believe in the miracle working power of God to heal my body and any other area that I may need healing. I believe and receive everything You have for me and I believe I am healed. My healing is from the top of my head to the tips of my toes, aligned up and whole. I honor the blood of Jesus and know it is by the blood you shed at the cross at Calvary that I am healed. Any sickness and or cancer cells must flee from me in Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
