WONDERFUL SEMINAR

Delight came to work today after we had our weekly lunch with our friend Karen Ray. Delight is still very tired. We almost wore the poor girl out yesterday. She stayed right up with us though. She wanted to stay for all of the seminar. I kept telling her we could leave any time that she wanted.

We heard some really good speakers yesterday at our GET MOTIVATED SEMINAR. It was a VERY long day. We left the hotel at 7:15 and went directly to the American Air Lines Center. We didn't leave until the seminar until 5:00. Some of the speakers we heard were Colin Powell, Brian Tracy, Goldie Hawn, Zig Ziglar, Steve Forbes, Avery Johnson, Phil Town, Tim Timmons, Bryan Flanagan, Peter & Tamara Lowe, Dallas Cowboy quarterback Tony Romo, Terry Fator---America's Got Talent Winner---(he is the best ventriloquist that you have ever seen), a guy that used to be the lead singer of Santana--- sang a song, and we heard a guy that did some rapping. There were a few more speakers, I just can't remember all of their names. We enjoyed listening to all of them but the ones that stood out to us were Colin Powell and Avery Johnson. Avery Johnson was the most dynamic to me. He was a AWESOME speaker. We all got motivated!!!!

We did finally get to eat Monday evening at the Cheese Cake Factory. (we had directions that didn't get us to the restaurant very easily) After we finally made it we were so full when we left. On the way home we stopped at a new P.F. Changs China Bistro in Allen. The food at both places was wonderful.

Overall we all had a GREAT time. We are PUMPED UP!!!

She feels pretty good after a very busy weekend. Jennifer surprised her mom with a visit this weekend. Delight was very happy to see her. They took the twins skating and to Rilyn's birthday party Saturday afternoon. Jennifer also was able to go to church with Delight on Sunday. Delight was glad she came in.

DISAPPOINTING NEWS

Terry Joe and Delight went to see the doctor yesterday and got some disappointing news. Her marker count was back up to 37. There was no improvement in any of the tests. Her CT scan of the abdomen & pelvis showed no change. The liver, spleen, pancreas and adrenal glands are unchanged. Her CT scan of the chest showed an increase in volume of small pericardial effusion in about 3 different places.

She will not be taking any chemo treatments for the next 3 months. Delight and the doctor both agreed that she needed a break from the chemo. This will give her body a chance to build back up. But she will be taking a treatment once a month to build up her bones.

Delight is really disappointed in the news she received yesterday. Please remember to pray for her. It's very important that we all encourage her. She needs us.

DOCTOR TOMORROW

Terry Joe took Delight out to eat at Papa's for their anniversary last night. She said that they would celebrate again when they go see the doctor on Thursday. They will be celebrating the anniversary and also the good news that the doctor is going to give them.

DELIGHT-O-METER is at a 10 again today!!!!!! She really did sleep good last night. But she was still a little sleepy when she got to work today. A lot of days she says that she thinks she could just sleep all day long. But she LOVES the INB so.... that she thinks has to come to work. Maybe it isn't the work. Maybe is because she wants to see all of the wonderful people that work here????? That's it!!!!! Right Delight???

I'll be sure to post as soon as I hear something from her tomorrow.

BUSY WEEKEND

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

She looks fantastic today. She feels good with the only thing bothering her is her left hand. It keeps going numb on her.

Delight's weekend was good. She watched Terry Joe and Johnice play 9 holes of golf on Saturday. Sunday she was able to watch all 18 that they played. She said that she really enjoyed getting to be outside.

Terry Joe will be taking her to the doctor on Thursday. She will find out if she can take a break from chemo. Let's pray for good news. She could really use a break.

GOOD DAY

DELIGHT-O-METER is at a 10 today.

Delight looks good and feels pretty good today. She just feels the normal tired that she usually feels everyday. She got a pretty good nights sleep last night.

Delight plans to watch Terry Joe and Johnice play in the couples golf tournament this weekend. Also she plans to play with the grand kids sometime this weekend. Other than those two things she isn't going to be doing much. Maybe she will have time to catch up on her rest.

Have a Good Weekend

SCANS ARE OVER

Delight just called to let me know that she was on her way home. She just finished with her scans. She was tired but she was making it okay.

She slept last night because she took a handful of pills!! She said that she was determined to sleep because she knew that she needed to be rested up for today.

I asked her if she had gotten anything to eat and she said yes. She ate a hamburger out of a wacky pack from her favorite place the Sonic!!!

That's about all that she said other than she did say that she would see me in the morning.

Have a Good Day

SCANS TOMORROW

DELIGHT-O-METER is at a 9 1/2 today. She looked really tired to me this morning when she got here. She said that she didn't sleep at all last night.

Terry Joe and Delight went out on their Wednesday night date to Papa's last night. After the meal they went to check on Bobby Mixon and John DeWitt. She said that both of them were doing good. She said that Bobby had not had any trouble with the chemo or the shot afterwards. John seemed to have recovered from his stint. That's good news on both of them.

Delight is excited about being able to take her self to her scans tomorrow. She said that she would call me when she gets done. She wouldn't have any results, she would just call to tell me that she made it okay.

She just left to go home. She was going home to take a nap. Hopefully she is able to do that.

FEELING BETTER

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

Delight was at work before 8:30 this morning going strong. She looks good today and the only problem she is having is her back is hurting her.

She didn't get much rest yesterday afternoon because the twins came over to entertain her. Bracee has started dance lessons. Of course she had to show her Mimi some of her latest dances. Blayd is just happy to go outside with his papa.

Thursday she is going to take her scans. She is taking herself. She thinks she is perfectly capable. I guess I'll have to agree.

KINDA TIRED

Delight came to work for a little while today. She said that she was so tired that she could just lay down anywhere and sleep. The only other thing that was bothering her was her legs. She looked pretty good today but you could tell by the way she acted that she was tired. DELIGHT-O-METER is a 9 today.

She stayed at home and rested pretty much all weekend. She and Terry Joe went to the Warren Davis visitation on Friday night for a short period of time. Sunday she went for about 15 minutes to Tony Walden's (and his new wife) wedding shower. Other than those 2 outings she just rested.

When she left she said that she would see me tomorrow.

Have a Good Day.

FEELING GOOD!!!!!

Delight called me this morning to tell me that she was feeling great!!!! She was on the way home from getting her shot when she called. She was excited to be feeling so good the day after chemo.

She said that she felt so good that she was going to come out to the Bank's fair booth and work with me. Friday is the day she and I usually work at the booth. But... my partner never did show up and I'm really glad because it was extremely HOT!!!!!!! She didn't need to be that HOT building. I missed her but her replacement worked almost as hard as she would have. (her replacement was my 5 year old nephew Browning) We had a good time!! Next year Delight I'll be expecting you to be sweating with me.

I didn't ask her her plans for the weekend. Maybe she can just stick around the house and rest.

Have a Good Weekend

CHEMO GOES OKAY

Delight called to tell me that she made it thru the chemo okay. She was down waiting on Johnice to come back and pick her up when she called. She sounded really good just tired.

Delight came by this morning to do a couple of things before they left for Texarkana. She was in good spirits and I ask her how she felt and she said good except for her legs hurt a little. She was ready to take her chemo and get it over with.

She said she would try to call me tomorrow and let me know how she felt.

Have a Good Day!!
