Got my Park City fix, ready for Round 3!

Hello! Thanks for checking in on me! I really appreciate the continued prayers for my health! As I really need them!

I just returned from a wonderful few days with Maribeth Mortenson Herman and her family in Park City, UT! It was JUST what I needed! After all, laughter is the best medicine! (At least that's what my 89 year old aunt, Evelyn Richardson, keeps telling me! She sends me handwritten pages full of jokes faithfully every week!)

Anyway, I laughed and laughed with Ali(8), Samantha(7), Sydney(7) and Andrew(3 1/2)! We had a blast! We also went sledding and played in the hot tub! Then I hiked up and snowshoed down Iron Canyon (a favorite of ours from last year). And Maribeth and I downhilled on Saturday, still love my new skis! I feel very blessed that I was able to do everything I wanted to do! Even went for a run in the snow! Oh and was treated to a much needed massage : ) Thanks MB and Bruce! I also got to see Mary Ratcliff Honigman and her precious girls Ava and Stella! I just love the west, especially Park City, UT and look forward to many more fun times out there in God's country!

All in all it was just what the doctor ordered! So today I am getting geared up for Round Three tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday. Please pray for a few specific things if you would:
1. That they get the IV in without pain and issues. My prayer is that it would stay in and work for the entire treatment. And that it wouldn't irritate my skin or veins. A tall order but I am believing!
2. That the Rituxan on Tuesday and the Treanda on Wednesday and Thursday do their good thing to rid my body of the lymphoma! And that they do no harm to the good things that are already there in my body! So far minimal side effects and I would love to see that continue!
3. That God would work in and through me during this time. And That I would show His love and grace to those who are providing for my care and those that I come into contact with at the doctor's office. It seems I always run into someone I know or meet someone new each time I go!

Thanks! And I will let you know how it goes! Oh and I understand this blog is not working so great! Still I would love to hear from you by phone or email anytime:
