i had my fifth treatment today. only one more to go!!! i feel pretty good right now. thanks kathy d. for taking care of my girls. thanks kathy g. for hanging out with me again, even if i do go to sleep. thanks connie for the pot roast. elisabeth said it didn't sound good but then she loved how it tasted. thanks to all of you who continually lift me and my family in prayer. it means more to me than i can ever express. jennifer

i am trying to stay busy these next few days because my down time is approaching again. the end is in sight though. 2 more treatments! i don't really even think about surgery and radiation. it feels as though the worst will be over when chemo ends. continued thanks for all your prayers and support, jennifer

i just realized it's been over a week since i've updated. i am doing well right now. good appetite and energy, except for the heat which i think is wiping a lot of people out. thank you christina for the shepards pie. we are enjoying it and the trifle is yummy! i did have a neat experience on sunday. we were at five guys and this total stranger came up to me and said she felt like she should pray for me. she saw me once and didn't have the nerve, but when i walked by again she approached me. she prayed for me right there by the beverage dispenser! also, heather said i am the reason our ob/gyn is more diligent about checking breastfeeding moms. amazing stuff! these things seem so simple, yet are so powerful. i am still praying about what my role in all this will be after i'm done with treatment and things start going back to normal. i want god to use me somehow to be an encouragement to others dealing with this. please keep that in your prayers. love, jennifer

good evening. elisabeth's recital went great. i felt pretty good for most of it. this morning i had a pretty bad weak spell though. i didn't eat dinner last night and only had a little ice cream after the show, plus i had not drunk very much either. i think all that contributed. i felt faint and dizzy and for a few moments couldn't hear very well. sid got the girls ready for church and mom and rock picked them up and then kept them for the day. i slept till 11:30 and then just took things slow the rest of the day. i made sure i ate and drank too. thanks for all your prayers, jennifer

sorry i have not updated lately. i haven't felt very good. my 4th chemo was monday, so i'm 2/3 through. yeah! thank you kathy h. for the alfredo and shrimp. sid loved it. and of course the girls love the little cupcakes. i am just starting to get my appetite back, but i do take it slowly. i have an extremely busy day on saturday because of elisabeth's recital so please continue to pray for that. love, jennifer

i go for my fourth chemo on monday. i am not looking forward to it. i just have to remind myself of the final results. we have dining on sloppy, messy, greasy, absolutely delicious bbq pizza that the brewers sent. thanks a bunch guys! one true sign of love is when you can let your husband shave your head. sid just shaved mine (with a razor) again tonight. he has to do that occasionally because it gets a little itchy. i think it's one of our sweetest times together. i feel like this is when our vows really take on meaning. please pray for next week. it will be rough. elisabeth has her dance recital on saturday the 13th. please pray strength as we attend that.

hi everyone. not much to report right now. i do need to hank linda for the delicious meal she brought on tuesday. the girls love the toys, especially the walking dogs! i am feeling pretty good this week and trying to be more active. i go for my fourth round of chemo on monday. i am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. i should only have two rounds after this one. thanks to all who read this and keep us in your prayers. jennifer
