Just A Little Life Update

Everyone say hi to my sweet nephew, Aaron Joseph Chapman!  He was born on 7/11 (free Slurpees for life!) and was 8lbs 3oz and 20in long.  Big sister Summitt is not super impressed yet, but to be fair, Tara wasn't all that impressed with me either.  Mom and Dad said that Tara held me for a minute, then looked up at them and said "well she can't do nuffin'..." and she was absolutely correct! 


It has been several weeks, so I know you guys are looking for a Matt update.  We still haven't found the right "cocktail" of medications to keep the nausea and vomiting totally under control, but it is much better than week 1.  The week before last he had a blood clot in his left arm (again) so they had to switch the port (again).  No further comment, but that makes port surgery #5 for those of you keeping track.  Unlike his last 6 months of chemo, he loses more hair by the day and is almost completely bald now.  He is completely zapped most days and has very little energy to go out and do things, which is super frustrating this time of year.  He hates that he is missing out on a lot of golf and trips with his friends this summer.  He is so bored most days, and overall just sick and tired of being sick and tired.  Other than that, things have been okay.  There is one little guy at home that is SUPER happy to have his dad around all the time, so that's a positive!  Matt is working when he can on his off weeks, which is just a few days, but it is something to keep him in somewhat of a routine for now.  Our friends and family have been pitching in and helping us keep our yard and house looking so nice!  Matt's friend (and barber,) Chris Casto, even pressure washed our siding for us!  If you need a good pressure washer guy, give him a call!  We are so appreciative of everyone's kindness and generosity.  Please keep remembering us in your prayers over the next few months.

    HOW I GOT CURED OF HERPES DISEASE I'm here to testify about what DR. OSO did for me. I have been suffering from (HERPES) disease for the past 5 years and had constant pain,especially inside my body. During the first year,I had faith in God that i would be healed someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and i have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago i came across a testimony of one lady on the internet testifying about a Man called DR. OSO on how he cured her from herpes disease. And she also gave the email address of this man and advise anybody to contact him for help for any kind of sickness that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HERPES) he told me not to worry that i was going to be cured!! Well i never believed it,, well after all the procedures and remedy given to me by this man few weeks later i started experiencing changes all over me as DR. OSO assured me that i will be cured,after some time i went to my doctor to confirmed if i have be finally healed behold it was TRUE,the test came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such sickness or any other at all you can contact DR. OSO for help via email} drosohaberhome@gmail.com or WhatsApp+2348162084839 here is the DR OSO website. https://sites.google.com/view/drosohaberhome/ His blog page https://drosohaberhome.blogspot.com you can also email me for more information about DR oso via smithmorgan2777@gmail.com ALL THANK TO DR OSO .

Stop Ghosting Yourself

Let’s be honest. Do you know anyone who isn’t busy? Probably not.  WE ARE ALL BUSY. Kids, spouses, pets, jo bs, extracurriculars, birthday parties, vacations, sick/injured family, etc. We all have full plates, chores to do, and grocery orders to pick up!  I don’t like to start a blog post with tough love, but I think it’s necessary today!  Truthfully, if this hurts your feelings, you probably need to hear it. You are not too busy to take care of yourself. I’ll say it again. YOU are NOT too busy to take care of YOURSELF. I know you. You get lunches packed and kids off to school. You work hard at your job. You go to the grocery store, the post office, work the concession stand at the ball game. You come home, help with homework, cook dinner, give baths, and do the bedtime routine. Oh then, you pick up the house. Everyone around you is taken care of and happy as can be…but where does that leave you? How do you feel? If I had to guess, I’d say you are happy that your family i...

My Secret Sauce

Image
I think you know by now that I am pretty candid about what’s going on in my life. Consequently, I am also candid about what’s going on in the lives of those around me.  So, here’s a quick update to bring everyone up to speed who maybe haven’t watched my stories and posts as diligently as I would like...  Matt has been experiencing a lot of pain, and recently had a surgery in an attempt to relieve that pain. The jury is still out on whether or not there is improvement because, much like when you do a simple home repair, you fix one thing, 3 more pop up. He also started a new chemo this week. It has definitely felt like a super steep uphill battle the past few months, but I will go more in depth with everything another day. Logan is almost 1. He is walking, talking, and destroying constantly. I am still working from home full time. Both a blessing and a curse for many reasons. I started a thing called 75 Hard, at which I initiall...

Happy C-Section Awareness Month!

Image
I recently learned that April is Caesarean Section awareness month. I had never given it much thought, but now, having experienced it myself, I feel the need to celebrate the c-section mamas. In movies and TV shows, there is always that beautiful birth moment - you know the one. The crying, sweaty, exhausted mama feels she can’t go on. Then someone holds her hand and gives her the encouraging speech she needs for one last push. Just then, you hear the unmistakable sound of a newborn baby crying as they place him or her on the moms chest. *cue music* Now, I don’t know if that’s really how it goes or not because I never made it there!  My doctor knew Logan was going to be a big boy, and suggested that I schedule a c-section.  I thought to myself “noooo way! (That’s scary.) You are not taking my beautiful, made-for-movies moment away from me! (Also, I’m scared.) You don’t know what I’m capable of, lady! (Petrified of that option actually.) I’ve got this!!” You guys, I didn’t...
