Here's the little beauty...as it looks today!

I was so excited to just happen upon these happy, whimsical structures I shot a few photos to share WITH YOU...















Now every time I look at my "Art work"....I know where it REALLY lives!

Frankfort Michigan.


AN UPDATE ON DAVE....

TODAY WE SPENT THE ENTIRE SUNDAY HAVING SCANS DONE.

MRI...OF THE BRAIN,

CT...SCAN OF THE LUNGS , CHEST AND ABDOMINAL AREA,

AND A TOTAL BODY BONE SCAN.

THE MRI...MACHINE BROKEDOWN AT ONE HOSPITAL SO WE WERE SENT TO ANOTHER.

BY 4 IN THE AFTERNOON WE WERE DONE.

THURSDAY WE MEET WITH THE ONCOLOGIST TO GO OVER THESE SCANS....

WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING SOME HUGE DECIONS AS TO HOW WE WANT TO TREAT THIS.

OUR MEETING WITH UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN DRS. WAS NOT PROMISING AND WHEN IT WAS ALL SAID AND DONE LEFT US EVEN MORE CONFUSED.

THE FORM OF CHEMO BEING OFFERED NEXT IS VERY UNFORGIVING...

HAIR LOSS AND EVERY SIDE EFFECT YOU CAN THINK OF NOT TO MENTION WHAT PERMANENT DAMAGE IT MAY LEAVE IN IT'S WAKE.

DAVE FEELS SO GOOD RIGHT NOW...NO SYMPTOMS WHATSOEVER, HARD TO IMAGINE ALL THIS IS GOING ON INSIDE OF HIM.

AFTER OUR MEETING THIS THURSDAY WITH THE ONCOLOGIST WE WILL DECIDE WHICH ROAD WE'RE GOING TO TAKE.

THE LORD HAS BEEN FAITHFUL IN DIRECTING OUR PATH THUS FAR AND THANKFULLY DAVE AND I ARE BOTH ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT THE TREATMENT.

WILL SHARE MORE AFTER THURSDAY...

THANK YOU ALL FOR STOPPING BY SO OFTEN AND ENQUIRING AS TO HOW DAVE IS DOING...YOUR A TOTAL BLESSING TO US.

GOD'S IN CONTROL...THAT IS OUR COMFORT AND OUR HOPE.

HUGS TO YOU ALL,

XOXO~KATHY

  2. Cool that you found the place! Love that!

    I see my oncologist tomorrow. The Lord will direct you to the right decision. One time my doctor wanted to do another major surgery...I said no...he was shocked. I chose tomotherapy instead...and later, he told me that was a good decision. I had no peace about surgery at that time. You will know. Still praying.....

  7. Kathy, That is so cool that you got to see your artwork "in the flesh" so to speak. All those pictures are beautiful. I am so glad you and Dave are getting out and about together. I also want to express my admiration to both of you for your positive attitudes and calm resolve as this is obviously such a difficult time in your lives.

  20. Kathy, so sorry to hear this. As a breast cancer survivor, I understand.
    Thank you for visiting my blog today and for your kind comments about my hand-stamped ribbons on the clothespins. I'm having fun making them and have ideas for more. It's endless!
    I love your old structures photos! Cool! And the screen you made AND the 3D photo too. Very clever and time-consuming for all of those project by you, your hubby and the artist couple.
    Putting your blog in my favorites! I'll be back!

  22. I love old structures. Love to swarm the countryside seeking them out, and then taking photos of them. Which yours, by the way, are stunning. I hope you get some good news soon. You're certainly due for some.
