Disney on Ice

Rylee, Molly and I were able to enjoy Disney on Ice this year while it was in Kansas City. They both love Disney so much. It was a great day!

Spring Break at Universal Studios

 

I enjoyed Spring Break this year with John and his family in Florida.  We watched all the Harry Potter movies before we went there. Universal Studios was so fun! We enjoyed the Harry Potter rides the best. Because Jonathan was in a wheelchair from his broken femur, we were able to get an express pass and ride the rides with hardly any lines.  It was a very memorable trip!

February Update

Hello dear family, friends, and prayer warriors,

I wanted to let you know I have been doing well the past month.  My rash and dry skin are under control.  I am having a difficult time concentrating and have had some recent headaches and fatigue.  For the most part, I feel good and am quite active.  I praise the Lord that I am doing as well as I am.  

I go back to the Cancer Treatment Center on March 8th and 9th and will have a Ct of the chest, abdomen,and pelvis and an MRI of the brain.  Please be in prayer about these tests and their outcome.  I know God is good and His plan is perfect!  

Thank you for your prayers and support.  God bless you for joining me on this journey.  My desire is to glorify God in everything I say and do.

In His hand and with love,

Sue

MRI results...

Hello family, friends, and faithful prayer warriors,

I wanted to give you an update on my visit to CTCA yesterday.  I am very thankful to be able to be seen and treated there.  Deanna went with me and it was so nice to spend time with her.  The MRI showed that the brain tumors are stable. The doctors were happy with this result.  They cancelled my CT because it had only been 6 weeks since the previous one and the doctors said we need to wait longer to get more accurate results.  I will continue with the targeted therapy pill and return to CTCA on March 8th for a CT scan and MRI.  I can also drive short distances now, but not out of town at this time.

Specific prayer requests would be for healing, as always, but also for relief from severe dry skin and relief from severe leg and hand cramps.  

We had a wonderful trip to Disney World with Carol's family!  God was so good to answer prayers for strength and endurance.  I was able to keep up with everyone most of the trip.

 I know God is good and His plan is perfect even when it doesn't seem perfect to us.  I praise Him for sustaining me each day and for all the support and encouragement you have all given to me.  God bless you for taking this journey with me. 

In His hand and with love,

Sue

Disney World with the Cordovas

I am sending a week with my daughter Carol and her family in Florida this week at Disney World! The girls are so excited to meet all the princesses. We will post more pictures when we get back...

Welcome 2016!

Hello dear family and friends,
I hope you had a very blessed Christmas and New Year! Our family was together often in December and I am so grateful for all the time we spent with each other. We went to St. Louis and Great Wolf Lodge with John and family, took a limo ride through the Plaza with all of the family, and we are going to Disney World with Carol's family.

I had the steriotactic radiosurgery on Dec. 16th. The treatment has caused me to have a difficult time concentrating, and I get tired easily, but otherwise doing okay. I am not to drive at this time.

I will return to CTCA in Chicago in Jan and have multiple tests done. They will do blood work, a Ct of chest, abdomen and pelvis, and an MRI of my brain to see how the lesions are doing.

Thank you for your faithfulness in praying for me. I would like to ask you to pray for energy for our trip, and that the radiation I had and the targeted therapy pill I am taking will maintain or shrink my cancer.
May God bless you as you take this journey with me and may God be glorified in all I say and do. Thank you!

In His hand and with love,
Sue

Celebrating John's Birthday

To celebrate John's 38th birthday this year, we decided to spend a couple night at Great Wolf Lodge here in Kansas City. It was still decorated for Christmas and it was beautiful!  We swam, enjoyed the water park and enjoyed this virtual wand treasure hunt with the boys. Our favorite part of the trip might have been eating chicken tenders at Longhorn both nights.  They were delicious! I'm excited to celebrate my son's birthday with his family this year in this special way.
