SUSAN IS DOING AWESOME!!

Here is a SUPER cute pic of Susie receiving her blood! Look at how much better she LOOKS!!

We arrived Thurs am, Mike, Ashlee, Alex and I (Kaylee) Mike dropped Ashlee & I off at the hospital where Sue was receiving two units of blood and picked up the am crew of my mom and dad! Ashlee and i arrived to find Sue looking so good we couldn't believe it! She even had some eyeshadow on!1 Her coloring was fantastic and she looked like "herself" for lack of a better way to describe it! Sue is pictured here with Marti, our fave blood bank nurse!! Even Marti, unsolicited said Sue looked fantastic, like a whole different person that she saw two weeks ago!! Sue can move herself around, no need for a wheelchair and help getting up, she used her walker to get out of the hospital and into the car, and I did not need to help her into the car!! Ash and I were AMAZED!!

We got home from the blood bank and shortly thereafter, the lovely Velma, Sue's physical therapist came to work Sue out and give her a little massage!! Look how far Sue can lift her arm!!
Then we had the customary Antonio's Flying Pizza Party, as we were all to tired to go out!! It is awesome pizza! Pictured here is Ash, Kari & Sue on the coma couch! I am amazed that they are not in a coma as that couch Ray bought Sue is the MOST COMFORTABLE couch I have ever sat in "not on" it's like a big comfy hug!! Good job Ray!!

After pizza, Grandma Kay made sure Sue's "ted's" were clean as she has done laundry duty, shower duty...she has worked so hard and has been a daily angel for her daughter!! Ted hose are circulation hose that Sue wears daily and my mom diligently cleans!!

Then, Sue asked Ash and I to stay overnight at her house and the guys went to my mom and Kari's so my dad, Mike and Alex could go golfing early in the morning and we were here with her! It was a great evening and we talked talked talked (can you believe that??!!) It is truly a miracle to see her doing so well and recovering daily!! Your prayers are being answered and Sue can really feel them! Keep on praying!! Thank you so much!

Today we lounged around, and Sue got some mail!! Thanks to all and everyone for your cards, gift packages and well wishes! They mean the world to Sue and it really brightens her day (and ours too!) She is holding the contents of a care package sent to her from ou Auntie Helen in Menagha, MN!! Two awesome books, one with notes and pages already marked!! Thanks so much Auntie Helen, you made her DAY!!

Then, Sue's hair stylist and her husband came over to style Sue's wig and then Jared her husband cleaned the aquarium which was so sweet! They are the NICEST couple!! Thanks so much Carol & Jared!! We had a fun visit with them!
Here is Sue and Carol with her newly styled wig! Sue got the reults back from her blood test for her sodium levels, her sodium is normal, but due to limited fluid intake, her potassium is down, so she was put on a potassium supplement and then she has to take her antibiotic once a day til next Tuesday. She was a little down about that as she feels sick when she takes it and she is tired of not being able to drink the amount of fluids she wants! So for this week we have some prayer requests:

1) that Sue's sodium and potassium levels would be great by next Tues and she could go off the antibiotics and drink fluids normally!!

2) The chemo, as it works its way through her body would work it's miracle and take her cancer away!!

Thanks again so much for all you have done to lift Sue up in prayer. I know with certainty our Great God is listening and helping and your prayers make so much difference to Sue's courage and recovery!! We are so thankful and grateful for them!!

XOXO Kaylee in Houston-where it's 80 and sunny!! :)
