Since the race...

Since the race Sammy and I went to DC with friends and had an incredible time. The weather was perfect and I was able to keep up with the girls.

I got home Saturday evening and flew to NY Sunday morning to see a Dr. who deals in all kinds of medicines. He has been known to really help people with stage 4 cancer. I am sifting thru the info as we speak.

Went to our friends cabin in the mountains this past weekend. Had a blast and Gavin was a riot. Did sleep much but making up for lost time.

Monday I was able to get chemo and the Benedril knocked me off my feet. I slept the entire 8 hours we were at Emory, then napped from 5-8, then went to sleep at 9. It is 5:30 and I am wide awake...wonder why.

Well that is it for now. Happy 4th of July

What a day

Okay, first the race was amazing, hot but amazing. About 250 ran and I cheered them all on. It was tiring but so fun.

That eveving we had my mom and travis' mom check everyone in and had amazing auction Items and a great raffle. The drinks were flowing and people from all aspects of our lives were there. It was like a wedding/reunion.

The next day everyone including Gavin slept in until 9:00.

We would like to thank everyone who volunteered, donated items, time, money and those who showed up. We felt so much love and raised $38,000 and counting. Were already getting excited about next year and how we can make it better. If you have any suggestions or want to donate or volunteer just shoot us an email.

Funny story...Malcolm (volunteer) asked if I saw the pregnant girl who was smoking...my mouth dropped opened and I was shocked. What he meant was pregnant and running really fast. Not smoking tabacco.

Two more days

Last years race had 80 people sign up and 350 ran the race. As of last night 200 have signed up...this maybe an incredible turn out. I'm so excited to see you all and we have had even more action items come in that are incredible. I'm sorry to announce that we only have 15 shirts left, but if your still interested go to www.rayofliferace.com and sign up to run/walk/crawl whatever and don't forget about the evening festivities at cocktail cove on Roswell from 5-9. Kids are welcome.

BTW since I started doing wheatgrass shots I have had very little sideeffects and have been fealing great. I started exercising even.

Hope to see everyone this weekend.

Sitting at Emory

I am trying to get this 14 year old boy to play with me. We have been here for 2 hours already. I forgot my book, Travis is working and my phone only gets reception part of the time so I'm trying to get this little boy to entertain me, but he is shy. I did have an 80 year old man earlier but he was done way before me. I have mixed feelings...if I don't get chemo than I get another blood transfussion. If my blood is healthy than I get chemo. Either win win or lose lose not sure how to look at it. Funny that my doctor isn't running behind but we have been sitting here forever... Will let you know the out come

Giving blood

If you would like to donate blood for me you can go the Emory Blood Bank and request the blood be used for me. You can only give every 90 days and your blood is only good for 1 month. So if you give blood reply to this post the day you gave it. It would be awesome if I could get blood donated every week so I always have a stash.

I am A possitive.

Thank you

I need your help

We need gift cards for restaurants, toy stores, salons, spas, groceries, retail, gift baskets, etc. for the auction.

We need water, sports drinks, soda, bananas, etc. For the race.

If you can donate or get the establishment to donate any of the above please contact Travis at tvgators1@comcast.net and he can send you a letter to give to the establishment.

Also my 3 month scan came back with possitive results that we expected. It is the 6 month that tells the real truth. I did have a blood transfussion because my blood counts were so bad. I prayed the entire time it went in. That's all I need is something else.

I was on the Bert show last Thursday talking about cancer. That was fun.

Two more weeks...looking forward to the race.

What a day

Dropped the kids at school, got to Emory at 9, saw my favorite patient, waited forever, got my benedrill, had a PET scan then my lab work was so bad they couldn't give me chemo. Instead I had to get a blood transfussion. Pray that I don't get anything. That's all I need. Still really tired and the barrium gives me the stinkiest gas. I can barely stand to be in the same room with myself. Hoping the new blood will give me some energy!!! I'm sure the scan will be favorable this time it's the next one that will be the real test. I felt so bad this morning Travis had to push me around the hospital in a wheel chair. As Gavin says, "that's not good"
