On May 13, 2011, our mother, Cindy, was diagnosed with stage 4 Non small cell lung cancer (adenocarcinoma). She has never smoked a day in her life. Since being diagnosed, as a self-employed and charitable family law attorney she continued to work hard for others in need. We sincerely thank you for your contribution, prayers, and support for our mother.

Ups and downs, ups and downs... but always end up : )

Okay, so this week has been a bit of a roller coaster, but mom is staying strong and taking one day at a time. Last weekend was good. Saturday mom went over to my older brother John's house for salmon burgers. Mom said they were very good and she had a nice time. Sunday we went to a wonderful new church on the Southeast side of town for a really nice Healing service. We had a good time and everyone there was so kind and loving and expressed their faith and belief in God. It was a beautiful experience and mom really felt great afterwards. So did I. It was really comforting and was a good release. On Monday, the pain in mom's back subsided and it felt miraculous. It was amazing because it was the first day that mom had no constant discomfort or pain for at least 2 weeks. Tuesday the pain came back and was pretty strong by evening. It really scared me and affected me to hear her in that much pain. It was difficult that night emotionally. Wednesday, mom was up and out and trying to do everything she can and did very well for most the day, but after a while the pain can get to be too much and its hard on her. Oh then she got a flat tire that afternoon. Nice. It was okay though triple A came out and changed the tire. I was going to it, but mom didn't want me to. Besides the triple A guy came very quickly after about 15 minutes. So, after that mom went home and I came over a little later and stayed the night. Thursday (today), mom rested this morning and then made her way to the courthouse. Her case was reset and she stayed for a little while downtown, but came home after. It was a little rough with some people there, but we forgive those who trespass against us. Anyway, I picked up some dinner which was good, but I think I'm going to buy a juicer and try to get more fresh vegetables in our diet. I've read so much about juicing and its just really good for you all around. Perhaps we can find some concoction that we will enjoy. Anyway, I am here with mom tonight and she is feeling better. We are enjoying each others company and having a nice night.

Thank you all for your prayers and compassion.

-Vanessa
