Hey guys, this is Sarah again, updating Colette's blog for her! Unfortunately she had to be admitted to the hospital again today by her heart doctors because they felt that she was dehydrated and needed to have a few more tests ran (boo tests!). Hopefully it will all just be an overnight thing though! She also asks that everyone pray for her this week because she has her next scan on Wednesday and the results will show her if the cancer has stayed pretty much contained or what it is doing in her body. She is a strong woman so I am sure she will be just fine, but prayer and good thoughts never hurt :)

The visit with the doctor went well. CBC was good. The platelet count is low so I have to go back on Wednesday for another check. Pray that they are going up on their own.


I did two loads of laundry but will wait to find energy to put it away. I felt good to drive myself and visit with Rhoda. God has blessed me with wonderful friends. I know some of you want to visit and I am going to try harder to see you. Thanks for all your love, support and prayers.

Hope you are all doing well. I am very weak and tired today. Does not make sense since I saw Dr. Honeycutt yesterday and I had another liter of fluids. Enzymes are still low but CBC, and other counts are looking good. I go back again on Thursday and next Monday. Pray for the hydration so I am not so tired. Pray for strength that I may feel more energy ( any energy) would be good.

Jenn, Clint and boys were here for the weekend. They left before 9. Clint has a business trip tomorrow so they needed to get home to get some things done. Ben in talking so much better. He is on the go from dawn to setting sun. Nate is getting tall. He is doing well is school and I am so proud of him.

Laundry ready for the dryer. Not sure if I will get bed made up but Barb and Paula are coming tomorrow and they will help me.

Church dinner tonight that I would love to go to but will see how the day goes and if strength increases. Pray for strength.

Finally got breakfast down so I could take 10 pills. Still need to remember scopolomine patch after I clean up. Still wearing nausea pump so no shower yet. I have felt good the last two mornings. As a matter of fact I made it to CBS, lab work, change out pump an d lunch with friends,yesterday. I was gone 4 hours and was exhausted when I arrived home. Took a two hour nap and still in bed for the night by 7:30.

I have laundry going but not sure if I will get it all done . I have an appointment with DR. Crowder at 1:15 so need to conserve a little energy.

Hope all is well with each of you. God's blessings.

November 9

Hoping all of you had a better weekend than I did. In bed two and a half days. Saturday w2as me and my little pink bucket. Just could not keep anything down. Nicole & family surprised me coming Friday night and I was unable to get out of bed to play with Charli. What a disappointment. Saturday I heard hear get up and I could not do our normal routine, so back to bed and Scott watched her. It was comforting to just listen to them play. In bed all day. Saturday night I fell into the bathtub in the middle of the night. Praise God that I was not hurt and Scott and Nicole were here. Jenn & Nate arrived around 9 Sunday morning to check on me. I stayed in bed. I did get dressed and that took all my energy. I was able to sit out in the sun and watch the kids for a short while. It breaks my heart that I don't have energy to play with them, but joy in watching.


Today is my scheduled SECOND chemo treatment. Lab work at noon, doctor 12:15 a d then 5 hours of treatment. PRAYING this one does better and does nothing to my heart.

November 5

I was able to attend CBS (Bible study) yesterday. So good to receive all the love and support from God's people. A group from leadership and children's home-schoolers arrived in the afternoon and raked and bagged all the leaves in the back yard. I am so grateful as are my children.

I am tired and weak this morning so will not do much today.
