Baseball: I'm praying for the boys - that they are processing well. They were the giants that got killed by the little guy. That's a new experience for probably everyone involved. I'm praying for the coaches too - that they can work through and understand their own issues and be there to give wise support for the boys.
Mouth: Still improving from the dreadful mouth sores. Yesterday I was finally able to care for my teeth properly. Brushed them and did all the extras FOUR times yesterday. They actually seem to be bouncing back fairly well. Except for poor tooth #31. I went to see Dr J, my regular dentist, and he (and I) believe the best choice for the tooth is to have a root canal. It's been set up for tomorrow at 12:30. Lets pray that it is successful. I have had one prior root canal from Dr. AJ and I liked him very much. He has amazing (to me) state of the art technology. Oh, and he's a nice man too.
Radiation: Entering the second third of treatments, when effects begin to become noticeable. So far just feel intermittently sore/scratchy.
Chemo: As I said, my mouth is continuing to get better. Although there are lingering sores I can eat just about anything. Dang. Time to get back onto the portion control regimen, for my appetite is baaaack . . .
Life: Baseball loss stings. I was so looking forward to following them in person or remotely as health would permit. Now it's over. OK - now there is a vacuum where baseball used to be. I will pray I recognize what is there waiting to fill it. Something with passion, maybe? I would like that. What ever it is, I pray I will be given passion for it!
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ - for the glory and praise of God.

Hi Molly, Just toured your fascinating blog site (all new territory for me). You DO write beautifully and in an interesting manner. I learned for the 1st time what it is you are being treated for, and despite the nastiness of what's ahead, I'm so excited about your odds. Do let us help you get through this in practical, tangible ways, like meals, errands, holding your hand, reading to you, whatever and whenever. Is anyone coordinating? I don't know your support structure, but let me join up, or jump in! DO, DO let others help wherever we can. Are your address, phone & email in the church directory still current? My last update is September 2010.
