There are boxes everywhere. We haven't eaten a home cooked meal in over a week. My body hurts. I have been so tired that I have snored so loud that Mike slept on the couch. But we are in the new house. I still need to go over and pull nails and get a few things I left yesterday, but we are here.
Mike has held up pretty well. I haven't seen him throw up once this week. He has has waves of exhaustion and nausea, but God definitely answered a prayer there. It was absolutely impossible to move and keep on top of his food. I think the scale this week will show where I failed him this week. He has been complaining of his tail bone hurting and I think is because he has dropped weight and there is no cushion.
So now this week I need to find places to put everything and get the Christmas tree up before Christmas. All this on top of every thing else that the holiday season brings and another round of Chemo this week. I am amazed at the person I have become over the past year and a half. The tasks at hand seem so overwhelming, I just want to hide. That is not me..at least it wasn't me. I am beginning to wonder when "Deanna" will be back.
Please pray specifically for Mike and his weight. We need him to gain weight. Pray that the Chemo is killing all the cancer and only the cancer. Pray for Elizabeth and I. Pray that nothing else breaks in the house right now. Pray for more time in the day.
I will end this praising... we are in a house that is ours. Thank you Scott and Kathy for the past year in your house.

Deanna,
WELL DONE on your move!! Glad that Mike held up pretty well through it all. I hope you'll "decrease" the number of things you feel you need to get done "before Christmas". That's one way the prayer for more time in the day will get answered :):) Deanna, I also think your personality is still very much "the same". Most people would have never gotten as far as you ever!!! We're so proud of all of you and you're all continually in our prayers!! Gini for all
Hey...there is only so much of you to go around. You have already stretched the "I can do all things" verse to it's limit...after all, it says "I can do all things", not "I can do everything, all the time, and all at once". ;)
I will be praying about weight gain for Mike. I'm thrilled to hear he's kept everything down!
Hang in there...this story is still unfolding!

Deanna...just be thankful you don't have to do christmas present wrapping at the BX...hope that puts a smile on your face!!! We are praying for all 3 of you each and every day, and through HIM all things are possible and you are a true testament of that. Get the tree up, string some popcorn cranberries, paper chains and spend some time decorating together. Who needs all the frill and fluff anyway!!! Sending love your way wrapped in hugs!!! Daneen
Congratulations on getting in your new house! Just take one step at a time.
Glad to hear you all are doing good!
God bless,
Cynthia
