I'm still in limbo, waiting to hear my test results from the Dr. tomorrow. I still feel sick to my stomach, in fact I threw up yesterday morning just 15 minutes after I took my morning pills on an empty stomach. I don't know how many pills got absorbed or if they all turning to liquid. I am still worried about my abdomen where the liver is swollen. I wonder if it is pushing on my stomach or something. I've also had to take more pain medicine, like Advil, so that also might be hurting my stomach some.
Lately I have been really sad and I think of how little I can do compared with the life I used to live. I do count my blessings and I do hope for better days, but I have leave it in the Lord's hands. Today is the kids' last day of school before Thanksgiving break. At least I'll have them around to keep my company and help out around the house, or at least that's the theory.
I'll write tomorrow after I see the Dr. I'm having a friend drive me up to my appointment because Elaine is still helping Len, who has been sick with pneumonia. I here he is improving a little each day. Get well soon, Len! I am grateful for my caregivers and the angels around me helping my family each day.

I'm praying and thinking of you always. Call anytime if you want to just chat or blow off some steam. The boys were so cute when they came home yesterday. I'm excited for Brenton being in the school play. Go Brenton! Hope the stew turned out okay. I figured with David gone at work I needed to have something ready to dish up for the boys. I know they like my chili and lasagna. I'll bring one of those down next time I come.
Emilee, I am still praying for you. I sincerely hope that you will get good news very soon. Keep your mind focused on the positive to get your body through its current agony. Your family and friends your biggest fans. As a travel friend of your parents, I'm pulling for you! Sylvia T.
Emilee,
I hope you enjoy the time off with the kids. Mine have been off since last Thursday and while I'm not getting much done it's nice to have them around. We've played Clue in the middle of the day, I've sat down to watch TV with them and we've made fun stuff for breakfast. All stuff I don't normally do in the week, it's nice having them around (if I could just minus the times they fight). I hope you have a good Thanksgiving. We'll be praying for you.
Emilee,
I just wanted you to know that there are a lot of us reading your blog daily, and praying for you and your family daily.
With Love,
Jim Bragg (your Mom's cousin) and family
THANK YOU to all who pray for our Emilee. We too pray for her & her family for comfort, for learning, and for wisdom.
Maybe there's always something we can all learn from every situation.
A young man named John received a parrot named 'Chief ' as a gift.
The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary.
Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity.
John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite
Words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot.
The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even ruder.
John, in desperation, threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer.
For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed.
Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute.
Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.
The parrot calmly stepped out onto John's outstretched arms and said,
'I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions.
I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to
correct my rude and unforgivable behavior. '
John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude. As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird continued,
'May I ask what the turkey did? '
HAPPY THANKSGIVING to EVERYONE!
Always LOVE from DAD
Hang in there, Emilee. Good luck. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Matt and I are headed to my parents' house.
It was sweet to see you Monday and to sit and share lunch with you, David and Jennie. Even with David so busy in his office I'm happy he can be with you as much as possible. You are in extra prayers of ours today -- just wish I could have driven you up to the doctor's today. I am grateful you have a good neighbor and that David is meeting you at the doctor's as he will take a break from work. He certainly loves you and is concerned. Thank you for thinking of Len when you have so much on your own mind and heart. Len saw the cardiologist yesterday and it looks like the pneumonia has not effected his heart. Of course, he'll have another chest x-ray Monday and needs a heart test in a month. I'll be anxious to talk to you this afternoon.
Emilee,
I know everyone is waiting to hear the latest test results and we all hope and pray that this new round of chemo is helping. A belated happy thanksgiving to you and your family. I hope your family was able to have some nice quiet time together.
I've had reason on several occasions in the past few weeks to realize my mortality as various friends and loved ones have returned to Heavenly Father most without a lot of notice. I have decided instead of worrying about what lies ahead I just need to take the time to enjoy the moment that I am in right here and now!! To be grateful for the blessings that are bountiful as you can well imagine. Just thought I would remind you of that, be happy for the moment don't worry about next week's chemo until you have to... You are such an example to all those around you and many who dont know you ( from your newspaper article)Keep up the faith and keep all those positive thoughts that you have.
Love Beth Street
