I love that Helene and her friends are posting! I feel so into the future!!! I sent out emails to everyone you sent the blog link to...so they can all post-if they can figure it out!!!

Glad to know you are feeling better! I am sending warm wishes your way everyday!!!

Jeremiah 17:7
"But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.

Hey all!

I need help in naming my new cranial prothesis (wig).....Gladys is my old wig and she is kinda worn out....plus she was a PITA because the wig is human hair and alot of work. So Denise and I went shopping and found a new wig- which is on order. She is short and sassy and synthetic- easy to style. Any ideas? I thought of Bernice- but Denise thinks it is too old fashioned.
I still have my own hair....for now.

Finally feeling better today- went to work and I still have some energy left! I received some beautiful flowers from Papa Joe and Grandma Rose who live in Michigan. Joe and Rose are Thom Schmidt's parents and they kinda adopted Tyler as a grandson.

Looking forward to spending the day with Tyler who is back from DC. Hoping we can go to a movie and out to lunch tomorrow (Th). The Friday is THFM Day.

Julie was able to make a posting....how did she do this? I would love to hear from others.

This is very cool!

I think this is awesome to have a place to post thoughts about your journey Helene--for you and for all your friends. We are suffering, praying, laughing, and crying with you. I hope you are recovering well from the last chemo treatment and are able to participate in daily routines as much of possible. That's the key isn't it? To try and function while the poison does it's thing-kill that cancer! I love you and I will keep praying for you!

Yeah!!!!!!!!!

Helene was able to post today! I am so excited that it worked! For those of you who have never created a blog, it was challenging for me! I am in no way techy at all, but am glad she was able to post and let us know how she was doing!


They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the LORD to care for them.

~ Psalm 112:7, NLT

This was my daily bible verse that comes via email everyday! Wow, talk about hitting home! Helene, I hope that you trust in the Lord, for He will take care of you!!!

Will this work?

I don't know if this is going to work.......I think I am blogging....will it work??? Ha! Helene the Techno Queen!

Had a fun time at Bunco Fri.- had a nap before I went and was chauffered home by 10 pm. Had some laughs and forgot my troubles for awhile. I am missing my 6 foot tall baby- as he is in DC. Sure is quiet without him around. Sunday I went shopping with my neice Kaleigh to the mall- after we had lunch at Steak and Shake. (She talked me into ordereing a milk shake- it was all her fault!) Sunday night was rough- felt the effects of the chemo. We were fortunate last night in having friends bring over dinner- with enough for another meal. I am trying to get in to Rush Cancer Center for a 2nd opinion- just to make sure I am on the right track for treatment. Hopefully they can get me in around the chemo treatments.

Let's see if this is going to post-

Praise You in this Storm!

I love Casting Crown's song...Praise You in This Storm! Here are a few lines...

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

During the good times and bad times we must remember to Praise Him. Praising God for all of the many blessings in our lives...one of them being a friend named Helene!

Friends...

I received am email from Helene today. A friend of hers named Paula sent her a very beautiful handmade wellness necklace. The stones represent the following:

*red jasper repels cancer
*jade provides protection and brings positive energy
*moss agate brings hope and prosperity

Helene said the necklace is beautiful!!!

Another friend named Karen sent her two Cheer Me Up packages. Helene loved the summery hat, the fun green scarf, cute green earrings and candy for St. Patrick's Day.

A friend once told me that the most important thing in life was family and friends. Helene has many friends praying for her, and sending warm thoughts her way!!!

Psalms 31:24
Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
