Light the Night!

Hi Everyone! As many of you know, my mother has been in remission from Lymphoma for the past few months after recieving a bone marrow transplant from my aunt! Anyway, it is again the Light the Night for the luekemia and lymphoma society on October 3rd! Last year we volunteered, but this year we're walking! I'm asking for you to join us on this walk, many of you have really been there for us for throughout this journey and we are looking to prove that this organization has really worked! Mom is still here and that is proof enough for me! But if you need more, they helped pay for mom's copays for her care and so much more!

If you can't joing us I encourage you to donate! It's a beautiful event, everyone has a balloon and lucky for us mom gets to carry a white balloon because she is a survivor! I know everyone has had someone effected by some type of cancer and I would really apprecitate your support!

Please follow the link and sign up or donate! Let me know if you'll be joining!! us! http://pages.lightthenight.org/coh/CntlOhio09/feezer



Thanks!

Amanda

Long time no Post!

I've been a busy woman! Did Lean Training all week and then had to work shift change. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's where I work 12hrs for 6 days in a row. It's gruling!

***********************

Anyway, on the 24th I start back to my 5 day shift! 7-3:30! Finally evenings free!

***********************

Mom is back at work! She is tired, but it's going well. About time for normal and happy things going on. She even has her hair back!!!!!!

I got to visit with Heather and her new baby boy! He's awsome!

Went to the Rascal Flatts concernt with Lynely! We had the best seats! Dirks Bently was awsome too! And Darius Rucker!

Yea, that's how close! We saw SWEAT! >

So, all in all things are looking up and I can't wait for fall! I'm going to try to keep this updated more... hopefully I'll have more time on my hands to do so! lol

Later Kids!

One more thing, if anyone knows anything about the "Feezer" last name and family tree stuff email me at Afeezer@gmail.com! Thanks!!!!!!!!

One more thing...

I took Christina's advice... along with my mother's (as much as I hate to admit that one... lol jk MOM) and went to the movies ALONE!!! I saw The Hangover!! Which I have to say was very liberating. Not the movie, the act of going alone. I spent the entire evening on a "date" so-to-speak with myself. I went to Barnes and Nobel and got a new book then went to the movies! It was soooooooo funny! I loved it! Definitely something to buy down the road!

Thanks for the advice Christina and Mom!!! Although, now I need to share the funny moments of the movie with someone! Hahaha!

Long time no post!

Are you serious!? I wrote an entirely too long post in Word and it won't let me copy and paste!!!!!!!!!!!! WTH!??!?!??!?!

It's been awhile...

So I haven't written in awhile. Everything is ok. Mom is doing well health wise, she can finally stay by herself which is a step in the right direction. The biggest issue going on right now is affording to stay in her house. It really sucks how money works when you are sick. She can't work and shortly her pay will go to 60 percent which most of you all know is not enough to keep a house and pay all the bills. She will only get one pay check a month as well. It's just stressful and we are looking into disability, but the problem with that is we've heard you can't get disablilty and still get paid from her job. Ugh, if we could jut win the lotto!

As for me, I'm doing alright. Could be better, but I guess I can't complain. Mom is getting healthier and hopefully I will be too! I am putting a lot more focus on my health and weight. I want to get back on track how I was last year at this time. I went to a trainer last wednesday and I wish I could afford him all the time. He kicked my butt!!!!!!!! But in a good way. I really felt powerful and I know I can lose the rest of the weight that I started losing last year!

I am looking forward to summer, the pool... cookouts... baseball! All of it. I'm going to try to make the best of my time and remember that even though I am sad sometimes that I have a lot of good things in my life. Even if I'm not always happy at work, I have a job. Even though mom doesn't have enough money to have her house and such anymore, she is in fact alive to have this problem. And I'm hoping to go visit my family again soon... and perhaps catch an O's game with Heather and Shawn... We'll see!!!

Day + 6

Mom is doing a lot better. Yesterday and today that is.

Just a small update!!!

Day + 4

I'm at the hosptial with mom, last night she was kind of bad but we were told this would happen. She had a fever and chills but today she is looking better. With low hemo levels they are giving her blood, again something we were expecting. She keeps dozing in and out, but it makes me feel much better to be with her even if I can't do anything for her.
