Medical Warning...

Take my advise... be in charge of your own health care!!! Don't leave it up to the Doctors and believe they have your health as a priority. They don't! They have too many other patients to worry about and a family of their own.

Yesterday I had some very scary news that my thyroid level is low and my TSH is high. Not Good. Not good for any pregnant person, but especially a recovering cancer patient. I had a major breakdown last night. I am feeling a little better this morning. Eyes still swollen, but I will go on. I just hope and pray that Lauren is okay in there and no permanent damage is done to me or her. Faith is all you can have at this point, b/c neither of my very capable care providers can answer my pleas for assurance adequately.

Any extra prayers you can send our way will be greatly appreciated.

Sarah Palin (didn't you know she was pregnant again) and John McCain....hoping you all had a very conservative Halloween!

Raking leaves with Pappa...

My Dad came to hang out with Benji and I the other day since Mom was working. He wanted to help some way, so I put him to the leaves.

They got a system going and soon Benji and Pappa were a leave rakin' team! So cute, I know I will treasure these pics forever!

That's all folks!

That's all folks!
See ya!
