Liz pulling an all-nighter with party-boys Carter and Aidan
What Did You Do On New Years?
Liz had a rager. Complete with wild bachelors dancing around in their PJs until all hours of the night, drinking themselves into (sugar)comas, and waking the neighbors with their maniacal hollering in the streets. Partying with the grandkids is not for the faint of heart...or in Liz's case, the faint of intestines.
Those intestines are recovering at what can only be considered a miraculous rate. She really feels great as evidenced by her day trips to her favorite haunts and shopping malls. No, that was not an apparition when you thought you saw her at Target. She was really there with Erin and grandkids in tow looking for those adorable Pottery Barn knock-offs. Who can resist a good post-holiday blow-out sale? If you do see her, you will be amazed at how healthy she looks. At this rate, she will make gall bladder surgery all the rage in 2010! Didn't you hear? All the cool kids are doing it.
She is ready to meet her new BFF this week: The oncologist. Her first appointment with him is on Wednesday and we are anxious to learn of all her options. She expects to get lots of information about radiation and chemotherapy. We expect that it is only a matter of time before we all get totally freaked out by how well she handles this next stage too. Bring it on 2010!
so good to hear an update. All sounds amazingly like Liz! Out and about and partying on - it's all good. Hope to see you soon - Happy New Year indeed. Will be waiting for updates from the Dr on Wed.
ReplyDeleteHi Liz and family!
ReplyDeleteI have had you and your family in my prayers since I heard of your challenge. How can you not be healing with the love of so many friends and family rooting you on! The best is yet to come...keep on amazing them, Liz!
Love,
Donna
I lost my father, Roy King, to a gall bladder cancer that spread to his liver. I had mine removed last April in an emergency surgery. My sister, Tammy, had hers removed previously, and my older sister is having problems and will probably have hers removed, as well.
ReplyDeleteWe have known Liz for many years and love her, and are so glad that the news for her is good. Please let her know that Bryan and Alisa Terry have been praying for her and are happy things are turning out for the better.
You go girrrrrlll!!!! Happy new year, Liz, to you and yours!!
ReplyDeleteLots of love,
Steph and Jon
Liz, this time last year we were dealing with my moms second bout of cancer. It was very tough, radiation 5 times a week and chemo once a week. Today she is cancer free and doing well. I wish I lived close so I could help you now, but I know you must have an army around you. Our prayers continue to be with you and your family. Sending love and hugs....we love you, Claude and Rhonda
ReplyDeleteHey Liz and Mark...
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to send our love your way and let you know that you have been, and will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. I just can't figure this 'ole life out...guess someday we will understand it all.
But for now--just know we love you more than words can say.
Laurie and Gary Phelps and Family
