Amy's 'momentary trouble'

Sorry about not posting yesterday, but I just ran out of time. I worked until 11:00am, came home & had a quick bite for lunch with Amy and took her to Madison for her treatment and afterwards, took her to Dubuque where one of my sisters met us to take Amy (and Hope) the rest of the way to Waterloo, IA to spend the weekend with her family. I didn't get back into town until 6:20pm, picked up the boys, ran some errands and then cooked supper. After all was said and done, it was about 8:15pm. Anyway, as you can tell, we have a divided family this weekend; Trevor & Vinny are with me, Hope is with Amy and Brittany left Friday at 11:00am for a missions trip to Biloxi Mississippi where her & about 25 others will help with the re-building of a church that was destroyed by hurricane Katrina.

Amy had her stitches from the port implant removed yesterday. Her nausea was almost non-existent and her energy levels were high. All in all yesterday was a good day! When Amy told her oncologist that she was going to Iowa, he seemed a bit concerned that she'd tax herself with the traveling, but he didn't tell her no.

Vinny competed in our district Awana Olympics today. His team placed 1st overall with 43 points (the next closest team had 25 or 27 points) and individually, Vinny & his partner ran the three-legged-race and ran it so fast that they tagged the other runners out and ran the last of three laps un-opposed! I was SO proud of him!

Hebrews 12:1 - Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.

This is Amy's story as seen and told by me - V
