Some good news!



Dale finally had enough with her oncologist. His bedside manner was like hugging a porcupine. He just would not listen when we would tell him things. When he missed the tumor growing in her brain, knowing that his chemo would not pass the brain/body blood barrier, well that done it.

We did our research and came up with a new oncologist. She specializes in breast cancer and is highly recommended. When Dale told her brain surgeon that she had changed doctors to this new one he said, “Major upgrade!”

Today my sweetie got the best news ever. She was so excited when I talked to her. I was at work and when I called her to check on her day I knew before she even told me that I was in for a treat. I was not let down!

Her CT scan showed NO sign of cancer in her liver!! There was 3 and now there is none, zero. Her first oncologist said that there was no cure. That she was wanting her cake and eat it too. He told her and us time and time again that her days were numbered.

I still wonder if all the chemo she has taken has done any good. I truly believe that the Lord is working miracles in her life. The three spots in her bones are still there so we must keep praying and hoping for more miracles. Two months ago Dale could walk to the mailbox and back and have to take a 2 hour nap. Now she is swimming ¼ mile in right at 11 minutes.

Praise the Lord God Almighty!

Davis Homegrown Triathlon


On July 24th our family will be putting on a local triathlon. There will be around 15 people doing the 1/4 mile swim, 13 mile bike ride and 5K run. The days event will start at 7:00am will the triathletes setting up their transition areas and getting their race packets.

There is no charge for this race. It is our first triathlon and if all goes well we will make it an annual event. You would not believe all the effort put into this race. We have tried to think of everything and I believe the racers will be impressed.

With the finishing touches being completed Friday all will be set. Dale will be doing the swimming leg of the race and then she will be helping with the race. Andrea will will be doing the whole race and I will be in my kayak, pickup and at the finish line.

It will be a hot day and the bike ride has one long hill but I believe it will be fun. I like planning stuff and am excited about putting this on. With all the mission trips that I have planned it has helped me to plan this one no doubt.
