It is the day after my second chemo and I am feeling fine. Yay!!!! Only 34 chemo treatments to go. Yesterday went a little quicker than the first time, they said that on the first treatments they have to adjust the drip slower to see if I have a reaction. So being how I did fine. The treatment only took a little over 3 hours this time.
Aly Dart just posted some pictures we had taken a couple of weeks ago. She just did a preview of 3 pictures. My babies are so beautiful! www.alydart.com blog

I want to say a big Thankyou to all the wonderful comments, cards, and prayers everyone has been sending me. It means so much when I have those sad days.

Hi Audra, I have been lifting you up in pray!!! You and your family are being prayed for by so many people that you don't even know...I pray that your remaining treatments will go as smoothly as Friday's. You hang in there girl and please let me know if I can do anything for you!!! I am free and can drive you or anything you need. We don't know why bumps are put in our paths but we do know that all works out for the greater good for those who believe in God. In prayer, Jill Roberts

Hey Audra,

I didn't have your email and I didn't want to call and bother you, so I'll leave a message here. I'm heading out of town for Thanksgiving today, but I'll finish your proofs up as soon as I get back. We'll still have time to get prints for Christmas, if you'd like.

You have a great Thanksgiving with your family. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.

Just couldn't stop thinking about you. I know I haven't seen you since Aunt Hazels service, but that doesn't mean you don't cross my mind. I called Michelle and found out about this site. It's great. There is one thing I had to learn in a short time, God is in control. Everything happens for a reason and it's up to us to figure out why
. We may not ever know the answer, but put your trust in him and he'll lead you through. Please don't let this discourage you. Everyday will seem like a new struggle, but You're strong. You can do this!!!! This seems like a repeated statement, but I'll say it anyway. If there is anything at all you need, Andy needs or I can do, I'm just an email away, or Michelle knows how to contact me. My thoughts and prayer are always with you and your family. Keep you head high and your faith strong. Love & prayers!! Lisa

Hey Audra,
I had no clue about your diagnosis, so I wanted to stop by and leave you a note of encouragement. Keep your spirits high, and faith abundant. Your family pictures were beautiful! ~Missy

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving today :-)

Hi Audra,
I asked my Bible Study class to pray for you recently, as well as my pastor, who is our teacher in this class. I, along with everyone else pray on a daily basis for you anyway and I am soooo proud of the way you are handling this very difficult time in your life. It was so good to see you a few weeks ago and I hope to see you soon again. Take care and don't forget that we all love you!! Jan

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family,
