Mom went to the Doctor this past Tuesday and got wonderful news. Dr. Lobo (her oncologist) told her that the most recent pet scan showed that she does not have cancer anywhere in her body except the right breast and that was an answer to many prayers. Mom will be having surgery soon (probably this next week) so please continue to keep her in your prayers.
We are all so proud of Mom's faith and how positive she is and how hard she is fighting this battle.
As I am sure many of you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and so many people have done special things for Mom to honor her during October.
Decatur High School (which is where mom is a teacher) had a day to honor her this week and they raised money for one of the Cancer Treatment Center's in Mom's area and they raised over $300. The whole day was a surprise to her!!!
Also the DHS Football Team brought her a signed football from the team today to her house.
One of Mom's former students Jerraud Powers who graduated from Decatur High School , then went to Auburn and played football, now he plays for the undefeated Indianapolis Colts came to see Mom last week right after they played the Titans (and each player had to wear something pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness). So Jerraud brought Mom his gloves that he wore in that actual game, and he told her that he dedicated that game to her.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD 
Alan and I had lunch with Troy and his mom, Elyse, yesterday at Momma G's and we had so much fun. Both of the boys were so good, Troy got hungry and they had to leave us (a little early) but we understood, so Alan and I sat by the window and watched cars go by in the beautiful sunshine we had yesterday and enjoyed a place where there was not any construction going on.
On Friday I took Aunt Abi to an appointment so Alan got to play with Miss Jamie, one of his favorite babysitters, they had a blast. Then we had some company come for the Auburn/Kentucky game and they are expecting their first baby so they had a little experience and had fun watching Alan and I had fun seeing Monica I have only seen her once since I graduated high school.
We had another girlfriend from high school and her little boy join us for the game and a visit and it was wonderful to see everyone and catch up
Then Monday morning we started a new project at our house, we are covering our deck so I have had workmen at my house the last two mornings VERY EARLY (and it is loud), and lil man has not been taking very good naps and he just looks at me like Mommy what in the world is going on. They hope to be done by the end of this week, but you know how that goes so we might just venture North and see the grandparents, YAY!!!
Bless his heart this morning he was so tired from no nap yesterday, it just caught up with him, and I couldn't resist the picture.
Back in June when I started learning about this disease I realized that you can never be too careful and today my eyes were really opened to see so many people affected by this disease, but on a positive note there were A LOT of survivors there and my prayer is that next year Mom will be able to join us for the walk.
Here we are with the signs we wore on the back of our shirts, the signs say
