Life is constantly presenting us with opportunities; testing our abilities to handle pain and more importantly discover happiness. Our thoughts directly affect the outcome of how we view and experience our journey. Believing is light in dark times; uplifting and guiding us through the unknown ahead. Believing gives us the strength, to move past our fears and know we are going to get through this.



“Believe” in yourself; be inspired to live out your dreams, exceed your goals and know that you can do ANYTHING that you set your mind to.



Believe” in your friends and family; know that they are right here beside you! To inspire, support and LOVE YOU!



"Believe” in GOD; know that he has a plan for you. He will protect you, strengthen you and help you.

November 2, 1012: Chemo ROUND 5

Part of Britt's Entourage

The "SUITE"

Britt w/ cousins Lori & Abby Lou

This morning we left bright and early to avoid any major traffic delays and believe it or not, we made it down there with time to spare.  We arrived a little early and were greeted by Raquel (on of our favorite nurses) who had a surprise waiting for us…A PRIVATE SUITE!!!  How AWESOME was that (it had a couch, TV, extra chairs)! It was so fabulous.  We could all be in there with Britt at the same time (Grandma Lian, Grandpa Sandy, Grammie, Ali, Ryan and Mom).  In addition Britt had a couple of other special visitors show up; cousins Lori and Abby Lou.  It was so nice all being able to rally around her today.  Her chemo treatment was increased to 1350mg but she handled it like a champ! At times we would still take turns getting out to walk around.

Britt w/ nurses- Gilbert & Raquel

Raquel's yummy cupcakes


Gilbert was Britt’s main nurse today and Raquel was in and out assisting. Yay, our two favorite nurses!!!  Nurse Raquel had made some super yummy pumpkin cupcakes that were FABULOUS!!!  Thank you Raquel, we really enjoyed them, a lot!




visiting w/ friends- Jordan & Dennis

Today was our every other month that we get to see our friends Dennis and Jordan.  They sat in the station right next to the suite so we could visit.  Having great friends to visit with and catch up with makes the time go by faster.  We look forward to seeing them every other month. The relationships we have been building there are very special (with our nurses and patients). We had to be reminded a few times that this wasn’t a “party”.  We do respect that others may not be feeling so well while they are going through their treatments and want to relax. We tried to keep it down.


Round 5 completed and we headed home. Please continue to pray, the power of prayer is amazing and we have seen great things happen because of it.
