Carolyn's Make a Wish!

Sunday my mom was feeling very very sick (nauseous, headache, weak, fever) from the chemo side affects so she came over to my place to rest. By Monday, she was starting to feel SO much better and was even able to take a walk around the block with me! We are looking into possibly changing her chemo schedule to Tuesdays so that her worst days are on the week day instead of on the weekend when she wants to be able to visit with loved ones! One amazing answer to prayer is that Mom has not been experiencing any pain in her right side for the past few days!! She is able to sit and stand with hardly any problems ... which hasn't been true for her these last three months. Thank you, Lord, for your goodness!!!

Since the diagnosis was given 2 weeks ago, I've been asking Mom to create a bucket list ... you know ... one of those "live like you were dying" type of lists. And the one and only thing she keeps talking about is going on one last Florida vacation with all of her girls. Some of her favorite memories are relaxing on the beach and building sand castles with us. It's truly the one thing she wants!

Because we have no idea how long Mom has to live (the doctor really won't give us a good answer), we are planning a vacation to Florida in July so Mom's wish can come true ... and so we can take her grandchildren to Disney's Magic Kingdom for a day. They are so in love with Disney that Mom wants to be able to share this experience with them. 

A place to stay in Florida has already been generously donated to us (another direct answer to prayer).  We are hoping to raise $5,000 to cover the travel costs, food for the week, Disney tickets and more for 6 people! But really any little bit helps! We thank each and every one of you for your amazing love, prayers and support throughout all of this! You are all truly special and amazing! Anything extra that we raise (which would be awesome, but not necessary!) will go towards medical bills and everything that comes with this.
