Mom's Health, NAYC, Vacation
My mom had her CT scan this past Monday. She went back to the hospital on Tuesday and they told her that everything looks great. Yesterday, she went back to the hospital again to have blood drawn and they told her that she's still a little anemic. The next step in this long process is radiation. After a few weeks of that, she'll have 3 more rounds of chemo (3 weeks apart) and then she'll be done. She told me the other day that her hair is starting to grow back in and it's blond and curly. It's normal color and texture is brown and straight. lol
Sean had an "awesome" time at NAYC last week. I kept up with a lot of it through Facebook and YouTube. I would've loved to have been there. The next NAYC, in 2015, will be in Oklahoma City. Sean will be 18 and Kelly will be 15. I told them that they could both go and I could go as a chaperone. Charlie has family right outside of OKC (Choctaw, Harrah) and it'd be great if they at least made it to the Friday night service.
We're planning on going on vacation September 6th through the 11th. A couple days in Ocracoke (we've never been there) and then a few days in Southport. I just need to make the hotel reservations. I know I'm cutting things close (hopefully not too close), but I'm hoping that with September being off-season that we won't have any trouble getting a room. Even if Ocracoke is in the Outer Banks.
We'll start the new school year after we get back from vacation.

Chemo, NAYC, The Passage
My mom had her third round of chemo on Friday, July 26th; the day after her 62nd birthday. It hit her a little harder this time and she was very tired for a few days. Sean was at her house for over a week helping her out around the house. (She lives about a mile from us.) She's been feeling better for a few days now. She has to get a CT scan on the 12th and then sometime after that they'll start radiation. She still has 3 more rounds of chemo to go through, which she'll do after she finishes radiation.
Sean is going to a big youth event this Wednesday through Friday (he'll be home on Saturday) in Louisville, Kentucky - North American Youth Congress. If I'm not mistaken, there were about 20,000 at the last NAYC in 2011. (They have it every 2 years.) He's so excited he's about to bust. He and several other youth from our church, along with the youth leaders and a few chaperones, will be packing up the van tomorrow evening and then leaving at 3:00 AM Wednesday.
This is the first time he's been out of state without me or Charlie. I'll worry about him, but I'm also really excited for him that he'll get to have this awesome experience.
I'm about halfway through a book called The Passage, by Justin Cronin. I wouldn't normally read a book like this, but someone praised it (and its sequel, The Twelve) at their blog. I'm really loving this book! I bought the sequel this past Friday and can't wait to finish The Passage so that I can read The Twelve.
