DETOUR!!!!

GUESS WHAT??? WE HAVE ARRIVED IN FLORIDA!!!!!!! WE ARE ALL STILL ALIVE!!!!!! WE HAVE HAD NO FIGHTS YET!!!!! WE MADE IT SAFELY AND HAD LOADS OF FUN!!!!!!

Delight made it just fine!!!! She made it better than the rest of us!!!!

We stopped to eat lunch about 1:00 at Purvis, MS at the Movie Star Restaurant. It was very good food the only thing is that we didn't get to see any Movie Stars. I don't know how any of us could have been hungry because we had half of the Wal Mart Food section in our vehicle. We started out with a homemade breakfast from Cindy. After that we had fruit, candy, party mix, cookies, cheese and crackers. We did have to make a couple of restroom breaks,too.

THE REAL FUN START WHEN:

We missed a turn in Hattiesburg, MS. (That caused to go at least a 100 miles or more out of the way) After that wrong turn we were 28 miles from New Orleans!!!! Anyway we were glad that we made the wrong turn because we were able to tour the coast line and see the devastation from the hurricane. We went thru Gulf Port & Biloxi Mississippi. The beaches were beautiful and the sand was so pretty and white. (Delight took some pictures and when we get back we will post them) The damage to the houses, buildings and trees was unbelievable. There were a lot of lots with for sale signs on them.
Some houses and businesses have been built back and there are a lot that are in the process of being rebuilt.

We finally arrived around 6:15 at James & Velda Campbell's house in Century, FL. We were sure glad to finally get here.

Velda was kind enough to let me get on her computer!!!

Anyway we are off to Destin for the wedding tomorrow. The weather has been nice. It didn't rain on us at all. We are hoping for pretty weather tomorrow.

Maybe I'll be able to post again before we leave.

LOOKOUT FLORIDA

DELIGHT-O-METER is looking good at a 10 today!!!!

Delight is feeling great and ready to leave for Florida in the morning at 5:00a.m.
This is the last thing I'm doing today before leaving so it is going to be short and sweet.

Delight came to work today to wrap up the things she needed to do before the trip. She just completed her work and said she was headed home to pack.

We were so glad to hear that Harrison Shipp is okay after his wreck last evening. It is a miracle that they didn't get hurt any worse than what they did. Brian & Lisa got the phone call that every parent dreads.

If I can find a computer somewhere along the way, I'll try to post. If not I guess I'll be posting on Monday.

Please pray for us to have a safe trip.

EVERYTHING GOOD!!!!!

DELIGHT-O-METER is back up to a 10 today!!!!

She looks good today and feels pretty good, too.

She came to work today and has worked about 3 hours. She was able to get quite a bit done.

We are getting excited about the trip. Tonya is still trying to convince us that she needs more than 1 bag. But we aren't going for it. Delight said that she would rent half of her suitcase to her. She is sure thinking about it.

Have a good day

RESTING UP

Delight called me this morning and said that she probably wouldn't come to work today. She said that she didn't sleep at all last night and she was going back to bed this morning. She said that she needed to be rested for the trip!!!

She was able to go to church, Wal Mart & Cato yesterday. Other than feeling tired she said that she has felt good all weekend. She isn't in any pain just tired.

That's all I know today

Kaye

GOOD NEWS

Delight looks so good today. She feels good, too. She went to lunch with us and just came back with us to work a while.

The doctor gave her a good report yesterday. He told her that she could go to Florida and to have a good time. She just needed to rest and take it easy. He said that after the next chemo treatment that they would be doing some scans. If everything looked good she would not have to take any more chemo. They would start doing a monthly treatment to help build her bones back up. Her white blood count was back to normal. Everything sounds GOOD!!!

Have a good weekend

Kaye

SORRY

I woke up at 12:00 last night and realized that I forgot to post on the blog. Go ahead and fire me from this job. I think I could be easily be replaced. At least Tammy let you know that Delight felt good yesterday.

We picked Delight from her house yesterday on our way to lunch. She came back to work with us and was able to stay until around 3:45. She looked and felt a lot better yesterday.

Delight goes to see the doctor today. Her appointment is at 2:45. Terry Joe will be taking her. They will be seeing the doctor along with them doing her blood work. Last Thursday Dr. Salyer's office checked her white blood count and it was high. Hopefully today it will be down some.

This time next week we will be well on our way to Florida. We are trying to convince Tonya that we have limited space. She is limited to 1 bag. She doesn't like that. She wants to take 1 bag of just shoes!!! Before the trip is over she maybe tied to the top of the Suburban. Delight will have her choice of seats. She can either have the back seat to lay down or she can have the co-pilot seat next to me. We will be taking a lot of pictures so we can post them. It is going to be a fun trip. We made this trip about 5 years ago and I can't tell you how much fun we had. It had to be one of the best trips of my life. We will miss Johnice, Mary Ann and Sherry. But at least we will get to see Sherry at the wedding. We told her she could at least ride back with us!!! I'm sure Delight, Tonya and Jane will be just as much fun as the first group that we had. I'm sure you will be hearing more over the next few days about the trip.

Have a good day

Dinner at Papa's

I had dinner tonight with Delight and TJ at Papa's. Delight is looking wonderful! It was some great food and and even better company. Life is good.

But next time, I'M BUYING! :)

BACK AT WORK!!!

Delight was able to come to work for a little while and go to lunch with us today. Her hands and feet are really bothering her. Her hands looked like they were just peeling. She was trying to keep lotion on them. She still was feeling extremely tired today. She left work about 1:40. She looked pretty good today. To me her eyes looked a little weak.

She told us today she had so many bosses!!!!! We just want her to take it easy!!!

Have a good day!!!

Kaye

TIRED

Delight wasn't able to come to work today. I talked to her a little before 10 and she was just getting up. She was planning to come to work but I guess she just didn't feel like it.

I talked with Terry Joe around 3:30 and Delight was in the bed sleeping. He said that she just hasn't felt good at all today. She told him that she was just tired.

Remember Delight when you pray.

Kaye

GOOD DAY

DELIGHT-O-METER is remaining at a 10 !!!!!!!!!!!!

Delight made it to work again today!!! She was able to sleep until about 8:00 this morning with only waking up a couple of times last night. She looks really good today and feels okay. But she was getting really tired around 3:00 and decided she better go home and get a little rest before her company gets into town.

We went to Papa's to celebrate Jane's birthday at lunch. The only thing Jane didn't get to wear the hat. They were so busy I guess they forgot to bring it out. Next time Jane!!

Jennifer and her family should be in town around 6:00. Delight is looking forward to them so much. She has been talking about what her and Kaylee were going to be doing. I'm glad she is feeling good so she can enjoy her family!!

Have a good weekend.

Kaye

AT WORK AGAIN

Delight made it to work again today!!!!! She looks good but she said that she is really tired. She is going to go home and rest today after we eat lunch.

DELIGHT-O-METER is at a 10 today.

She said that she slept good last night. She went to bed around 9:30 and slept until 8:00 this morning only waking up once. She is only taking pain medicine in the morning and when she gets home from work. She doesn't have to take any pain medicine at night.

Everyone is excited that she is doing so good!!! She is glad that she doesn't have to have another chemo treatment until the first week in July.

Have a good day

Kaye

EVERYTHING GOOD!!!!

Sorry I forgot to post yesterday!!!!

Delight has been doing so good since her treatment Thursday. She has been working every day and feeling good! The only thing is that she is very tired at the end of the day. Who isn't??

DELIGHT-O-METER is at a 10 today!!!!!!!!! She is looking GOOD, too!!

Blu, Jennifer and Kaylee will be in for a visit Friday. Delight is looking forward to seeing them.

Have a good day!

GREAT NEWS

Delight was at work this morning by 8:15!!!!!!!! She said that she was up at 7:00 this morning. DELIGHT-O-METER is at a 10 this morning!! She looks GREAT!!! She told us this morning that this time hasn't been near as bad as the last treament/shot.

Delight had a busy weekend. Vicky Bailey came in and stayed with Terry Joe & Delight. Theron, Johnice, Darlene and Lindsey stopped in for a visit. Wendell & Charmyrle stopped in, too. They all got to watch the twins and their daddy do tricks on the slip & slide. I heard they put on quite a show.

Delight was even able to do all of her laundry yesterday!!!

Isn't this WONDERFUL news. GOD IS GOOD.

Pack your bags girls we are leaving for Florida in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a GOOD DAY!!!!!!

Kaye

SHOT

Delight had to go to Texarkana again today to take her shot. She was hoping to be able to skip the shot this time but they wouldn't let her.

Sheila took her this morning. Sheila told me that Delight was feeling good. She said after Delight got her shot she felt good enough for them to make a couple of short stops. They were back in Idabel around 11:30. When they got back to Idabel Delight told Sheila that she was tired and ready to go lay down. I just called Terry Joe and he said that she was asleep.

Please continue your prayers for Delight and her family.

Kaye

GOOD NEWS

Delight beat me to work this morning!!!! I was so excited to see her car here so early!! She looked so pretty this morning that I had to take her picture. But.....I can't get them to downloaded. Sorry. I took several pictures of her but she deleted all but three. Maybe I will have time to work on them later. I'll try to get them to post.

She felt really good today so I must give the DELIGHT-O-METER a 10!!!!! She left work to go home and eat around 10:15. She wanted to be ready for Lisa, who was picking her up around 11:45 to take her to chemo. Lisa was going to try and get beautiful while Delight was taking her chemo. Do you think it is possible?? She was going to the beauty shop for a cut & color and who knows what else??? I doubt she will be as pretty as Delight but she may be close.

Please continue your prayers for Delight. God is answering them. Delight was much improved today!!!!

Kaye

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP!!!!!

Delight is feeling a whole lot better today. She was able to go to lunch with us and she came to work after lunch. She said that she is beginning to get tired but she needed to finish one thing to get in the mail before she left.

She has decided to do chemo tomorrow. They told her that she could wait a week and then take it but she decided she would just go ahead and get it over with tomorrow. Because..... we are planning a trip to Florida at the end of the month and she wants to feel like going. We are looking forward to going to Kimberly & Clint's wedding in Destin. A beach wedding will be beautiful. About 5 or 6 from the bank are going on a wild girl trip. Last time we went we had a blast. We think this trip will be lots & lots of fun also. I'm looking forward to Delight being my co-pilot. I always need help driving. I could not ask for a better co-pilot!!!!!!

Thanks for all of your prayers.

Kaye

PRAY FOR DELIGHT

Delight was able to come to work again today for a short period of time. She said that she got up at 7:00am and it took her about 2 1/2 hours to get ready to come. She just has no energy what so ever. She told me that she could just lay over on her desk and go to sleep. She kept saying to me that she was just so tired.

Please remember to pray for Delight. She needs all of the encouragement that we can give her at this time.

Thanks to everyone that has sent food to Delight & Terry Joe. That is just one less thing that they have to worry about.

Kaye

NO MORE CHEMO

Delight was able to come to work for a little while. She is EXTREMELY tired today. She has already left to go home. She took some of her work with her.

Saturday I went to pick her up and we went to Kimberly & Clint's wedding shower. We only stayed for a little while. Everyone was excited to see her and wanted to find out how she was doing. She was glad that she got to go.

Delight said this morning that she will not be taken any more chemo until she gets to feeling better. She doesn't feel like her body can stand anymore right now. I'm glad because she needs to get to feeling better.

Keep her in your prayers

Kaye

MOUSE

Judy prepared some food for Delight and Terry Joe yesterday. She asked me to go with her to take it to them. They had just arrived home from the doctor when we got to their house. Tracy and the girls had also brought them some food. It looked like Thanksgiving in June at the Eidson's.

She was really upset with the doctor because of his lack of interest. He had other things on his mind when he was visiting with her. He acted like he really didn't give a care and that he had other places to go. So she really didn't get a lot of answers to her questions.

While we were visiting with Delight we noticed that she had a unexpected little visitor. A mouse seemed to want to join in our conversation. The only thing....it wasn't being very social, it ran under the frig. Judy got the yard stick, I got the broom and we were ready. It came out all right but it was a little quicker than we were. It ran under the dishwasher. Judy tried and tried to get it to come out. The twins came in during our chase and they were so excited. They thought they were going to get to see a mouse! They wanted to see it so bad but no luck. Still at this moment it is hiding from Judy and her wicked yard stick!!

Delight has felt better today than she has all week. She was able to come to work for about 4 hours this afternoon. We were really glad to see her because she helped resolve some computer problems that we were having.

DELIGHT-O-METER is at a 8 1/2 today. She looks good. She just doesn't have any energy.

We were GLAD to see you at work today Delight!!!

Have a good weekend
