It has been a heck of a journey up to this point. At the beginning of Michele’s diagnosis we were scheduled to leave for an incentive trip within weeks. Fast forward to now and three new grandkids later we are poised to take care of grandkids instead of making this year’s trip. Bittersweet? In allContinue reading “When a bell rings…”

This year has been moving very fast for us. We have much to cover in this post, but I will try to keep it brief. I chose this title to express how Michele and I have been feeling lately.

2024 has been more than eventful… and then at times it felt normal again. Let’s begin with the present. Now We are heading into the home stretch of treatments. Six more rounds and we will complete the treatment plan. The heaviest of medications is behind us and we are on a fairly steady pace withContinue reading “Farewell 2024”

Osteoperosis About a month ago, the doctors discovered that Michele bone numbers hadContinue reading “Well… it was destined to happen”

There are so many days that I have said “I need to write a blog”. I even started that today again. So much is happening and nothing is happening. Here a couple of highlights to catch you up. The Cough Since the last writing Michele has had a persistent cough. There were some Doctor visitsContinue reading “Why has the blog taken so long!”

Something that has been a reference to our history is including names from our fathers and mothers. Isabella Marie Yeakey carries Michele’s middle name. Her first name shortened up to Bella she tends to truly be the light of the room. I realize that recent posts have not included that many pictures as I haveContinue reading “The impact of Bella”

Well it is getting into late March and I am realizing I have not written in a while. Which continues to be a good sign for us. Today Michele finished another round of Chemo. We were at the hospital for 1:00 Blood Draw and were on the road home right at 5:00. IT WAS AContinue reading “Marching On!”
