5 Month Update...for anyone still out there

     I had almost forgotten about the blog!  Almost forgot about all of our followers out there still wondering what's going on with Warren.  I'm so sorry!!!  Warren has been talking to a man he has recently been introduced to that is going through the same treatment that he experienced this year and it just dawned on me that I have the blog to show him and share with him and it might help him and Warren relate better!  When he asks Warren how he felt during a certain week it's so hard for Warren to even remember now and it's only been 5 months since he finished the treatments.  (I remember way more than he does.)  My thought on that is it's because he was kind of in a medication induced, fuzzy, stuper during those weeks and slept the majority of the time.
     Anyhow, I look back and just read the last few posts that I posted back in May and realize even then that things still weren't really back to normal when I thought they were getting back to normal.  Now, I think I can honestly say it's close to being back to normal.  What is normal, anyway?  Everyone's lives change over the years so really what was normal a few years ago may change for most families but Warren is doing great.  He still has not really gained any weight, even though he really has been trying.  (I honestly don't think he's eating enought but his appetite is not what it used to be.)  He eats just fine and he can eat anything except for spicy foods just with lots of water but it's hard when you're trying to eat healthy and gain weight, too.  It would be easy to eat hamburgers and milkshakes all of the time but there's no nutrition in that and the sugar is really bad for cancer cells!  (Cancer cells thrive on sugar!)  Of course, sugar is just not good for anyone, anyway, but obviously really hard to cut it completely out of your diet.  (I spoke to someone today that told me her uncle had cancer and after all of the treatments he was cleared but then it kept reappearing year after year and once he switched to a gluten free diet it never reappeared.  Interesting, right?  I do believe that's how we should eat and I should probably change all of our diets to that but how hard would that be???!!!  I may have to do my best and try....That will have to be a new blog in itself!)
     Ok...so where was I?  Warren is great, he's back to work, working hard, working out, eating good, trying to gain weight and much closer to God!  :)  Life is good!  God is good!  We go back to MD Anderson for another scan/check-up next week.  I'll let y'all know how it goes.  Prayers would be greatly appreciated!  For our friend, Alan, too please!  (He's at MDA now being treated and has no one there to help him.  My heart goes out to him and pray, pray, pray he can stay strong through these almost impossible weeks for him!!!) 

Enjoying watching Jarred play soccer this year! Senior Year!!!
