"For I know the plan I have
for you...
Plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
This message was on a decorative jar my brother Paul and his wife Anne gave me!
Lets go back to Thursday ... Once again it started with a breakfast outing with Matt's sister Kim. She also took me to a few stores. Thanks Kim! I then needed to come home and rest for my second visiting to the Weisberg Center. Let me tell you the place was what I was hoping for to do my Chemo treatments. Jane, Matt and I took a tour of the building. Words can't describe it. They have a waterfall, beautiful art and warm inviting atmosphere. So when Doc gives me the green light that is where I will go. We will find out all the details out on Wednesday.
Friday was a relaxing morning for me. Nobody came oh sorry Jane had to come a get a prescribition filled for Myles. Who is still sick with a cold. But for the most day I rested. Until....Matt called from work he said I am on my way home with......PINK EYE!!!! YES, you heard me PINK EYE!!!!. (I have had pink eye every year for about 12 years and he has never got it) BUT now he has it. The work clinic doctor said it was the worst case he has seen. I laughed at him until.... I saw his eyes, they were oozing the junk out of them. Out came the gloves and the Clorox Wipes. Once again I was off to Jac's room to sleep..
I did manage to go out Friday evening when the patient was set for the night. My friend Sheri and Mike had the gang all over. It was great to see everyone. We had great food, good laughs and a wonderful time. (Even though I was wishing Matt was there!)
Saturday Morning was an emotional day for Jac and I. This is the day she donated her hair for cancer! She cut 8 inches off. I was crying more than she was. Now the cut matchesher attitude ... SASSY!!! What a great girl she is. I truly was moved by her. Check out the pictures. People have been asking me for her address so here it is... 135 Collingwood Ave. Apt 7 East Lansing, Mi 48823.
Dinner was waiting for us (Jac and I that is, Matt had to stay at home) at Matt's mom and dad. They have been wanting to see me for awhile now. Some of the other family members were there. We had a great visit. Thanks Mom and Dad for the great meal. (YES I took home a doggie bag for Matt).
I spent a relaxing evening nursing my husband!! We watched movies and I put eye drops in his eyes.
Today I am looking forward to our annual game of Hand & Foot, with my grandma, Jenny, and Jenny's Aunt Sharon. Once a year we would go down to my Moms and play cards with my grandma, so this year she is coming to me. I am so excited. I love to play cards.
In case you are wondering where is Myles during our exciting week-end, he is with Matts family down in Troy, Ohio-- for Brandon's Surprise 30th Birthday. They all went to play Broom Ball--it's played on ice. I can't wait to see the pictures. Karen-- I heard you did an excellent job planning this wonderful event. Kudos go out to you! Sorry we missed out on all the fun!
A Huge Thank-you goes out to Mr. Tignanelli--- Van Dyke's Assistant Curriculum & Instruction for getting my Blog approved so my Van Dyke family can read my blog. This means so much to me. Thank you again....
Well the patient is up and I must get back to my job, break time is over.
Remember to LIVE, LOVE AND LAUGH...one day at a time...
P.S. My spell check is not working so I am sorry for any mistakes I make... I need to find out what the problem is.

Jac, you look awesome!! Michela will be sooo excited to see your hair. She has been growing hers out to donate to locks of love, but we may just have to change to the cancer foundation! Anytime she sees women/girls with long hair, she always asks if the are donating. Hope to see you all soon! With love & blessings, Lori & Fam
Good Morning Sis,
Jac looks great, yep got that sassy look going. I sure hope you are keeping some sort of journal with all the "out of usual" things going on in your life. If I could have stood it I would have loved to grow mine longer and donate it but with age my patience is growing short. Glad you got your card game in. Will see you tonight for Steph's b-day.
Love ya!

Jac - the new do looks great! Yes, now I see the attitude. I never believed Chris' stories before - I thought "that girl is too sweet". (Just kidding)I can see you take after your mom. And what a nice thing you did!
Julie - all of this visiting, eating, and activities wears me out! So glad you found the right place for your treatments. Our prayers are with you every step of the way.
Hi Julie,
Sorry, euchre was cancelled tonight & we won't be able to wish you luck in person for tomorrow's doctor appointment. Keep up the good spirits - we're all thinking of you.
When I get rid of this cold I'll come by to play scrabble w/ you Jenny - she has a real dictionary now.
Jac's haircut is cute - might inspire me to get mine cut.
Take care,
Kimberly
Hi Julie,

Take care,
