Oh Happy Day!



It is an OH SO HAPPY day, team kelly :)   Kelly's doctors at MD Anderson and here in Dallas are changing her treatment to an oral chemo!!  This means no more infusions at the chemo lounge...no more continuous drip that she hates (for now at least).  And that makes us HAPPY! 

Of course she worries about every little ache and pain.  Taking this really harsh chemo for an entire year has taken its toll on her.  Dr. Savin has reassured her it is actually good timing to change as her body's bone marrow is wearing down causing long delays between treatments.  Here is what our devotion said that day:
Come to Me for rest and refreshment.  The journey has been too much for you, and you are bone weary.  Do not be ashamed of your exhaustion.  Instead see it as an opportunity for Me to take charge of your life.  Remember that I can fit everything into a pattern for good, including the things you wish were different.
God's timing in how he speaks to us is just so amazing!!


 
This sweet little sign has been hanging in Frisco Mercantile for a loooong time. We are  frequent shoppers and admire it every time we are in there.  It has a 'not for sale' sticker on it :(  If it were for sale, it would have been bought and hung in Kelly's house a long time ago.  Later that day, Kelly came home and this sweet little sign was on her doorstep. No card or anything. Warms your heart, doesn't it? Thank you Heather for this sweet happy happy surprise!
Each day we try to find the happy that God has in store for us...we hope you had a little happy in your day today!

And oh happy day it is!! Sing it Team Kelly :)




Nicky's favorite team is TEAM KELLY!!


Baby Will sendin' Kelly some TK love!



Some prayer requests for now:

1.  For side effects of this new drug to be minimal.  We know they  won't be as hard, but they will be new and unknown for Kelly
2.  To allieviate the discomfort she has had in her abdomen.  Dr. Savin feels it is a side effect of the chemo, and they are trying to treat it.
3.  For her anxiety over every little ache and pain
4.  She will have a PET scan in the next few weeks
5.  Pray a BIG thank you for hearing and answering our prayers daily
6.  Thank Him for her amazing support system....Team Kelly's prayer warriors!!
5.  For Jason, Will, Ben, Sam and Ella...always
