Going Home~

March 31, 2007

Meg, loved by many, loving and devoted, wife, mother, sister, daughter, aunt & friend, went home to be with the Lord & reunite with her parents on March 30, 2007. While she fought a fierce battle, it's over, praise the Lord! She will be missed by many & never forgotten, but as I type she's smiling down on those of us mourning our loss.

Services will be Monday, April 2, 2007 @ 1:pm @ Kelview Heights Baptist Church in Midland under the direction of Nalley Pickle Funeral Home.

Donations can be sent to MD Anderson in Houston, or to The American Cancer Society.

Thanks to all of you for your many thoughts, prayers, cards, flowers, food, ect. We appreciate the love you've shown during this time.

With Love & Blessings~

Okay guys, I'm a "few" days late getting info to you all. I apologize! There isn't a lot new to report. Meg had her second round of chemo last week and that went well. So far she hasn't been sick from the treatment. Praise God! Ronnie was with her in the evenings & spent the night all last week. Julie Hull, Courtney & girls and Wayne, Gertie & Shannon spent time as well. It was a fun week for all. Deena was down doing some work in Midland and actually took Meg with she & Felix to the Monahans branch. They got to eat @ Vickie's, yum! I know Meg enjoyed seeing everyone in Monahans. She stayed the day in Stanton with Courtney yesterday, that's enough to wear anyone out...haha! Frank got home at 1:am this morning. They have had a great day and she's continuing to feel good. They had a date this afternoon, went to the movies and really enjoyed that. Her therapy sessions are going well. She's not "enjoying" some of the homework the therapist gives her, but she follows the rules. :-)

Greetings~
Meg is doing great. Feeling great & looking great! She went to the oncologist in Odessa today. She will have chemo treatment # 2 tomorrow @ 9:am. Frank is taking her and Julie Hull will relieve him as he is leaving to go back to the rig tomorrow. She will go back to Odessa on Wed for a shot to help boost her blood cell count. She will also have speech/cognitive therapy 3 x's this week. She is very excited and proud of herself, as we all are, that she gave herself her insulin shot today. Yea, Meg! Before too long she'll be back running the show. She did inform me today that I might not be the "E-Mail Queen" much longer.

Love to all~

Meg continues to make progress daily. We are so thankful for how far she's come. She's doing great. Her spirits are very positive and she is very happy.

She will begin speech therapy next week which should speed recovery up. The therapist was encouraged with the progress that she has made on her own and is optimistic about the progress they'll make together.

Hope you all have a terrific weekend. We'll let you know more when we have more to report.

Love~

Hello All,

Frank made it home late last night. I don't know who was happier, him or Meg. "Kizzy" Ronnie, was relieved of her duties for the rest of the week. She & Meg had a terrific, memory filled week together.

Meg went to Dr. Patel today, internal medicine, to discuss her blood sugar problems. He believes that it is caused by the Prednisone. Her neurologist is going to start weaning her off of that and hopefully that will help her blood sugar levels become more stable.

She starts OT & Speech therapy tomorrow which should speed her recovery up. Every day she is gaining strength and making progress.

Meg's hair has begun to fall out. As always, she has a great attitude about it and I think has a "hair cutting" party planned for this weekend with Deena.

Keep the prayers flowing, we are seeing answers daily.

One more fun-filled day. Ronnie has been spending the night & day since Wednesday. The boys & Sarah are in & out visiting between going to school & work. Courtney & the girls were over all afternoon today. Those of you that live in Stanton, and are on city water, know about brown water, Courtney did a million loads of laundry and Meg took care of playing with the girls. Hard job, but someone has to do it! She is continuing to do better each day and we are all loving her being home! Frank will be home tomorrow and she can't wait for him to get back home.

Greetings to all~

Meg has had a good weekend. Saturday, obviously, she & Ronnie stayed in. Yesterday, Meg, Ronnie, Courtney & Sarah went shopping for a few hours. The girls had tons of fun, looked at a lot of things, but didn't buy much. Meg's favorite pastime is shopping, so she was in her element. We didn't make it to Kohl's, though, maybe today...Meg had to help everyone else find the car, because the others weren't capable of keeping up with it. I do believe she's getting better! Meg is really enjoying visiting with all of you that have called. Feel free to call and chat or stop by. She is enjoying the company, cards & flowers. Thanks to everyone~

On a medical note, her blood sugar level continues to be erratic. She has an appt. with Dr. Patel on Wed, hopefully he will have an answer.

As in the past, please continue to pray specifically for her strength & courage as she is facing what the future holds.
