Really?

What is with 2010? If you read my last post, there have been some significant challenges in our start to the new year, with more that arrived. Please keep the following in your prayers:

M's "sister" Dee (Maxine's daughter) just had her portacath removed from her breast cancer chemo treatments last fall...all was thought to be clear from recent scans, but that is not the case. After dealing with intense headaches last week, a tumor was found on Dee's brain, behind her eye. She was in surgery first thing yesterday morning and is now in recovery. Please keep her, and her family, in her prayers...she is married to Rodney and mama to 5 kids.

M has an ulcer on his eye, which is causing a haze in his vision. We are praying this is not permanent, as it can be, and praying his eye heals with the treatments the eye specialist has prescribed.

A bit of a scare over the weekend, we found a tumor on our GSD's chest...took him to the vet yesterday and it was benign. Our vet was so compassionate, remembering all that we went through with our beloved Sam, and assured us this was not the same thing.

On a very happy note, we are taking C on a secret vacation in 10 short days! WOO-HOO!
