I know that it has been a while since my last blog and I apologize for that. First of all, I hope that you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. There's nothing like having a day to reflect on the "blessing" of children and grandchildren is there? We love our family with a love so deep it seems endless but I can't even begin to imagine just how deep or wide or far God's love for us must be! He loves us with a love that can't be measured but it CAN BE FELT. It is that love that has brought me through these last five months and I praise and thank him for that every day!!
I am on "the final countdown". Yesterday I received chemo treatment #5. I wasn't sure if I would be able to take it because a few days before my scheduled treatment I began running a 100o temp (think it was a sinus infection). When I called the doctor he sent me a powerful antibiotic that I took right away and thankfully by Tuesday the fever was gone and I stayed right on schedule. Hopefully, today I took my last shot to build my bone marrow; that's the shot that makes me feel so bad. They told me after my next chemo I probably won't have to take it and I can't tell you how excited that made me feel.
It's funny what some of the side effects of chemo can be besides the "medical"-----It will probably be a long time before I am able to drink red fruit juice or ginger ale again or eat another saltine cracker. BUT "I will" look at each new day through different eyes and love with a deeper love than ever before. I will never take friends or family for granted or start another day without God's Word in my heart and a prayer on my lips!!!!
One more treatment to go. Can you believe I'm almost to the end? Thank you dear friends and family; your support love and prayers have been amazing. I could never be able to tell you in words just how much you mean to me. Thank you for walking this path with me. You've been there every step of the way. I couldn't have made it without you!! I will be forever grateful.
I love you guys,
Judy Ephesians 3:19 - Christ's love is greater than anyone can ever know.
PS Two praise reports for you:
My little grandson, Nathan, had tubes in his ears last Wednesday and is doing well.
Also, Sandra Byars is home from the hospital following the adrenal surgery. They removed the adrenal gland, an area along her kidney and her spleen. The biopsy on the adrenal gland was benign. She does not need chemo or radiation but it is such a rare type cancer they are still trying to decide what treatments and medications to give her. We are just thankful things are going well for her. Thank you for your prayers.

Sweet Judy
It was so good to hear from you. I have been wondering about you but I did not want to call so you can get the much needed rest you need. I am so glad that chemo is almost over for you and I pray that all will be well with you. Our son-in-law Keith is very sick and is facing major surgery on his pancreas and spleen. I ask that you please remember him in prayer. Allison is in RN school and will graduate in December. She has been under a heavy load that only God can help her with. Once again, you are loved and we pray only the very best for you.
Love you forever,
Judy Mills
