Sometimes it hurts to be a beautiful cripple!

Welcome to my life. I was diagnosed with polio when I was 15 months old but have had an absolutely wonderful and full life. God has blessed me with a wonderful husband, Wes and three beautiful children-Melissia married to Josh, Weslee married to Zach, and Marshall who will be married someday to someone just as fabulous. Weslee and Zach have presented us with the most beautiful and smartest grandchild in the entire world, Shiloh Celeste.
On Sunday afternoon, June 6, 2010 my world suddenly hit a brick wall when I found a lump in my breast. Life changing doesn't even begin to describe where my life would go next.

God IS SO good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a new type of chemo on Tuesday and it was no where near as bad as the 4 previous ones. The sweet nurse at Dr. Carrs office reminded me that if I made it through those last ones I can do anything. Me and God made it and now I only have 3 more and we are done! I must say again I could never have done any of this without God carrying me every step of the way. Nothing on my own-only through and with Him.

Had a scare when they took blood counts on Tuesday-I was really down and they made me come back today, Thursday, to check again and if they were not up I was to have a blood transfusion. I thought that was a bit drastic but they assured me that was perfectly normal and were surprised I had not had to have one so far. So blessed, so many prayers, from so many sweet friends and family. Went in and my counts were up, not great but enough and that is all I ask. So amazed at how many have pledged to pray and were so good to be so diligent especially when the unknown seems such a scary place. So thankful for answered prayer and that the Lord let me go another week with good enough counts.

I continue to say, He is my rock and my foundation and I have no need to fear anything, He remains with me and continues to carry me through from week to week. Chemo again next Tuesday. Bring it on, got my armour on and ready for war!

God is good-------------------all the time! susan
