Hey everyone...I've got some big new for you!
First I'll start with a BIG thank you for all the support and prayers for my mom...she has been pronounced 'cancer-free'! OK they didn't actually say it like that, doctors don't go out on a limb like that! What they actually said is "all your reports are negative"! I interpret that as the big bad cancer is gone!
After blood clots, pneumonia, congestive heart failure, severe edema...not to mention chemo and surgery, she is doing wonderfully.
I give credit to God's healing hand and my mom's great attitute...and maybe a little of my homemade soup!
She has decided to do the radiation her doctors are urging her to do as a final way of 'sterelizing' the sight so no future cancer rears its ugly head, but it should have few to no side effects...so we're home free!
Praise the Lord & Way to go mom!!!

Second bit of big new for you is that I was sworn in as a CASA!
I got up in front of a judge and raised my right hand promising to to my best to advocate for children, be impartial (praying on that one), be thorough, and always above all else keep the best interest of the child(ren) I'm advocating for as my primary concern.
In our court system so there are so many lawyers, social workers, and judges who have to keep everyone's rights in mind...not me. I just have to advocate for the most vulnerable of all the participants in the court...the kids!
I have recieved my first case. I will be advocating for baby boy who has been seriously abused. When I read the case I cried...a lot.
I pray for the strength and wisdom to be the best advocate I can for this little guy.
Thankfully he is now in a foster home that are taking great care of him, both his physical and emotional needs are being met with love and tenderness!
God bless good foster parents...seriously you rock!!!

Lastly...
We have SNOW! First real snow of the winter (yes it is about time!)
Look even Father Monk is smiling with delight!
So please excuse me while I go and put on my long-underwear and go build a snowman with my kiddos.
Have a super-duper terrific day...I know I will!
