A fun day

-

 Today was Saturday Aug 7th on her off treatment "good week", so she has been feeling pretty good and pretty back to normal this whole past week.

Yesterday I got a text message from Robert (a friend I used to work with). He goes to just about all of the Pilot Mountain car shows, and he asked if we wanted to come up there. Christian & I have went to a few before and met him up there, and they are always fun. 

We left the house around 11 this morning, and ended up staying until around 5pm. 

We did a couple rounds up and down main street, and all the back parking lots, that kept filling up more every time around. There was a big rainbow painted on the side of one building that she thought was cool and would make a good photo op, so I got her pretty self a picture.


We got some fried bologna sandwiches and lemonade from a place that was making them. 
She also got a mango smoothie, and I had a milkshake. 

After walking around looking at tons of cool old cars, I told her we needed to get her picture with one.
Robert asked her, "which car did you think was the coolest?"
She said "the Cobra". So we walked that direction.

We met the guy that owned it and talked with him for a bit. We asked him if she could sit in it for a picture, and he was more than happy to let us do that.


After getting the pic, he fired it up, and took Christian for a ride in it around the block. 
He was super nice and generous to do that. He didn't know anything about this part of Christian's story, he was just a really nice guy.

All in all, it was a really fun day. We had fun hanging out with Robert learning all kinds of things about older model cars and seeing all kinds of them.

Just wanted to share something fun.

Christian's cancer story comes to a close

This is the very hardest one to write. I have written so much on this blog over the past year and a half, just trying to share information with everyone, but now this “cancer story” is coming to a close.    Her story will never come to a close for me. This is not how our story ends. I know her family feels the same way. There was no one like her on this planet, and there never will be. She was a one of a kind, and the love of my life. She was the best person I ever met, and I look forward to seeing her again one day, up in heaven.   Now I will sit in this empty house that she decorated so well, but I am not alone. God is with me, she is still with me in my heart, and I still have our little terrorist of a dog running around here somewhere, so maybe it won’t be too bad.   I knew this was coming for a while, and I have said a few times that I felt like I was prepared, but nothing can prepare you for it, when you realize they are gone and won’t be coming back. 12 years is not enough.   W

It has been almost a week since the last update here. She has had a difficult time, and has shown more signs of decline. There has been high fever every night, very low energy, nausea, abdominal pain, a lot of sleep and no appetite. She took all of the antibiotics that she was prescribed but it did not really change anything. The nausea med (Zofran) has definitely helped, and she has not gotten sick anymore since taking it. We are very thankful for that. We are staying on an 8hr interval with it to stay that way. Since the last post she has also began to have some pretty intense pain in her abdomen. We were no longer able to control it with the natural remedies we have been using, that have worked for the previous month or two. We got a script for some pain medicine. She is taking it on the same 8hr interval as the Zofran and it is managing the pain very well. So pain & nausea are under control for now. She has slept most of the day every day, and has migrated to the bed (instead o
