<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"> <u> THE CELLAR EVENT</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">What a great fundraiser!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"> What kind, giving women. They put tons of time and money into a awesome night!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">Joan is on the left. She's a brain tumor survivor of 20 years +</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;">To hear her story gave me lots of HOPE and courage. She raised 2 boys while undergoing surgery and treatment. The way she found me and offered to help is how I know my Father in Heaven hears me and answers my families prayers. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000;"> Brittani on my right helped to pull this huge event together too. She is dating Joans sweet son. I met her son, what a cool guy. I hope my boys are like this loving guy someday. He was right beside these girls helping them with everything, so compassionate! Joan really raised him right. Brittani's a lucky girl and he is one lucky guy. They are both beautifully spirited inside and out. </span></div>

I've been on the antineoplastins for 3 months now. Other than my family says I'm short tempered, snappy and tired I can't complain. The treatment is going well. I just had my blood drawn, tumor markers checked and a MRI last week. I go in for results Thursday, I feel great. I can do my normal daily routine while being on treatment. No down time, which is such a blessing having 4 children.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
I will give the rest of update after my oncology visit on Thursday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I tell my family that I'm so sorry that I'm snappy, tired and short tempered. It's because I can see how short life is now, my eyes have been opened. I can see everything I need to teach them before I go. Everything I want to become and learn before I leave this beautiful earth. For the last 7 months I haven't sat down to relax for more than 10 mins. Then, yesterday I was playing with my baby Lilee on the floor with the other children close by. There was a moment that was quite, I looked at my husband and he looked at me and my heart was filled with overwhelming love that my Father in Heaven has for me. I am so blessed. I have so much. I have been given it all... A loving family that is mine forever. </div>ameenoelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09903320095826179486noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059225615076183220.post-60447838535829405342012-02-01T21:57:00.000-08:002012-02-01T21:57:37.914-08:00UpdateHere's the latest update on my treatment.<br />
I Just got home about a week ago from Texas. I was able to start on Dr. Burzynski treatment. Because of so many giving, selfless, charitable people, we raised $50,000.00! Which allowed me to start his antineoplastin treatment. Antineoplastins are Dr. Burzynskis form of chemo therapy. Because of much prayer, faith and fasting there is very little of the tumor that still remains. What still remains is believed to be stopped with Dr. B's antineoplastin drug. I'm on it and I feel great. I feel like I'm back to my old self. I will continue on the drug for 8 months. I figure if I have a few more fundraisers we will have reached the goal we set for the total treatment. This is costing our family $5000.00 a month. Any money left over, if any, I will donate to another cancer patient to help with treatment. <b>So please continue to spread the word</b>.<br />
I truly feel like I'm getting a second chance at life.<br />
A second chance, could you imagine being told you only have a few years left to live by an oncologist. Then; meeting with Dr. B and being told he can take care of this tumor. He's helped 100's of patients with this same type of cancer and they are 20 years+. They are going STRONG! I believe him. I've seen their pictures and heard their stories. I met with many of them at the cancer center.<br />
I honestly feel like I have been given a second chance.<br />
Basically; the only alternative was to do radiation on my brain. Which because of the tumors location would lead to blindness in my right eye, I would become slow and could possibly lose my ability to walk....When it's in your brain you cannot take risks like this.<br />
Thank you to all those who have supported our family, we owe everything to you. <br />

I am so blessed to have so many people in my life that <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">sincerely</span> care. I'm here in Texas because of you.<br /><br />If there is one thing I can say I've learned well in this life, it was how to be a friend. "If you want a friend, you have to be a friend." I try to teach Emilee my daughter. I must have been a pretty good friend because I have the greatest people in the world standing behind me, I tell her. I know that because of the love and support that you all have shown me, I can beat this! I will beat this, I have too.<br />I have to come back strong to be that friend you have been to me. I will love and serve you in every way I physically can.<br /><br />Your comments on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">face book</span>, your texts, your letters, emails, phone calls and comments on my website strengthen me, they give me hope and courage. I feel your love when I read them.<br />Thank youameenoelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09903320095826179486noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059225615076183220.post-90765493466116410922012-01-09T19:15:00.000-08:002012-01-09T20:11:41.566-08:00My journey begins today<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.296875); -webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(175, 192, 227, 0.230469); -webkit-composition-frame-color: rgba(77, 128, 180, 0.230469); ">Today is the beginning of a long journey.

Complaining that I had to cook for thanksgiving, my house was too small for everyone that was coming, cleaning, preparing for the Christmas to come, sad my baby would be born with problems, I couldn't bend over to tie my shoes. WOW I thought I had it bad.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:webdings;font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"> Isn't it funny how your attitude changes. Let me tell you about this year, this year I begged my family to come, I cried when they couldn't, I love that my house is too small, it brings us closer together. I'm proud of my self that after surgery I can still tie my shoes. And for the holidays...I get to see my baby on her first birthday what a blessing, so what if she has kidney problems, she is here. </span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-size:large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:webdings;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:webdings;font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"> Those of you that know me, see a smile on my face daily, I have a good attitude, I appreciate the simple things. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:webdings;font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;">I'm not worried about if my daughters hair is perfect anymore or if my sons jeans have holes in them. Also, things like Steve's job being dangerous, a car way too small for our big family, my hair growing back weird and so on. Hey, we got a job, we got a house, a car and I have hair!! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:webdings;font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"><i>"NO MORE SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF"</i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:webdings;font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;">I am beyond grateful to be here on earth. I get to see little faces everyday I wake up. When Steve hugs me I feel it now. I've learned so much in this short time. I've matured well beyond my age. I've learned how to be grateful for just being alive. Being on the earth and enjoying family and friends. When you realize how short life is, in a blink of an eye it could all end, you really truly appreciate the small things. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:webdings;font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;">I am grateful this year for the simple things that are so easily looked over in a mothers busy daily life.<b> STOP </b>and enjoy your husband, your babies and friends....</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:webdings;font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"><b>you never know when He is going to call you back home</b>.</span></div></div></div>ameenoelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09903320095826179486noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059225615076183220.post-91798248580123618122011-11-20T15:45:00.000-08:002011-11-20T18:08:11.402-08:00CAFE RIO<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisB2qGizviakZRQatOrndEgxja7ds-Xeow9qH_8BKgeAx45VG-hNKSgj-uTmr2zC7SjsaWFQ85SgOfzyLcdXoTF5w8ABs2b9zwptJNzEl7wyhftS2saTJ7uHwr_Ww-RmLxUWNzHSKBa1cP/s1600/IMG_4984.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisB2qGizviakZRQatOrndEgxja7ds-Xeow9qH_8BKgeAx45VG-hNKSgj-uTmr2zC7SjsaWFQ85SgOfzyLcdXoTF5w8ABs2b9zwptJNzEl7wyhftS2saTJ7uHwr_Ww-RmLxUWNzHSKBa1cP/s400/IMG_4984.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677262707134612418" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993300;"> Thank you to ALL that came out and supported MUFFINS FOR MOMMY Wednesday night.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993300;">We had a wonderfully successful night. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#993300;">This thanksgiving season I am so grateful for my friends, family and church.

Lilee hates to fly I just found out. Leaving Texas is so bitter sweet for me. My wonderful parents are there. I want them to know how thankful I am to them for supporting me through all this. They traveled daily afar and helped me with the baby. It was so good to be with family. My brother Elijah came to visit from Austin. Always LOVE to see him. I appreciate all his efforts to be with me. He's becoming a amazing person. I also got to see my sweet uncle Guy. A true inspiration to me. He has had every health problem in the world. I asked him how does he get through at his age. He's in his 80's, he told me with a sparkle in his eye and a smile on his face.

So many people I love are pitching in. This is such a wonderful opportunity to teach my children about service, charity, love, sharing and sacrifice. Thank you all so much for being the examples I need to encourage my kids to be the people I <b>expect</b> them to become.</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333ff;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333ff;">Here's a really special story I wanted to share, this story is from a sweet family friend in Texas. Her husband is in school and they have very little money right now. They live on a very tight budget, and only had $20.00 to give. Looking at the large $100,000 I need to get treatment they thought their donation was going to be to small. So my dear friend the creative mother she is, took the $20.00 went to the store and bought stuff for a bake sale and lemonade stand. She and her children stood outside in the hot sun all day and sold lemonade. So they could earn more money for our family. At the end of the long day they were able to triple their money. They were so excited about what they had done. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333ff;">What an amazing teaching opportunity this was. When I heard of the sacrifice and love this sweet family showed for us, it was almost unbearable to hear. I'm still in tears.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3333ff;"> This is sacred money. I know this... and I am so grateful. </span> </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000066;">I have many, many more stories like this one I will be sharing</span></div><div><br /></div>ameenoelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09903320095826179486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059225615076183220.post-5890888945636188712011-10-25T17:59:00.000-07:002011-10-25T21:48:13.124-07:00FAITH<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGpCdijW_omEeY0f_TjjF1nFIghA8IKbxu-Nebwz5M5YZnAF3SFGL52HaMbtFOsoR4igKUVVApkWPtn73B0tyUucm30rMcKTbUuoss_tYhx3oz8EQlX3LQBOd3omSIrPhA2B-cPK7G9kt3/s1600/IMG_2302.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGpCdijW_omEeY0f_TjjF1nFIghA8IKbxu-Nebwz5M5YZnAF3SFGL52HaMbtFOsoR4igKUVVApkWPtn73B0tyUucm30rMcKTbUuoss_tYhx3oz8EQlX3LQBOd3omSIrPhA2B-cPK7G9kt3/s400/IMG_2302.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667657779314624914" /></a><br />Every time there's something going on in my life that I get nervous about, like leaving for Houston soon to meet with <i>Dr. Burzynski</i> I need to write. I've kept a journal since I was a young girl. To me, it's cheap therapy.<div><br /><div>The one thing I can say that I've learned through ALL of this is, I have learned the meaning of <b>FAITH</b>. <div>Last year a dear friend asked me to give a talk in church. I said nervously "on what?" he said something you probably know a lot about. Considering everything your going through with your baby and her problems... On <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'times new roman';"><b>FAITH</b></span>. I thought to my self, Huh... well that will be easy, I have lots of <b>faith</b>. I know my savior lives, I know he died for our sins, I know where I've been before this life and where I'm going after I die. I know what <b>faith</b> is. I have<b> </b><i><b>great</b></i><b> faith</b>. </div><div> 9 months went by when I found out I was struggling with <b>faith</b>. "<i><b>PURE TRUE FAITH</b></i>",... probably one of the hardest things I've ever had to learn in life. It was the hardest letting go right before I went into brain surgery. I didn't know if I was going to come out of that alive... letting go.</div><div><br /></div><div> I just want you all to know what it's like being a mother of 4 young children. What I struggle with. Not knowing how much longer I have here with my family. Every day's hard to get through with out bawling. </div><div><br /></div><div><b> Faith</b> <b>doesn't make things easy, just possible</b>. Because of<b> faith</b> I have peace. I am finally just <i>now</i> at peace, with my self and this horrible situation. </div><div>I know,.. It's not my will. It is <i>His</i> will. You know, that's always been easy for me to say to people. But think for one second if the tables where turned and it was you? If it were your family, or your child. Your children losing their Mother or Father or your husband losing his best friend. Would it be so easy to have <b>FAITH</b>??? </div><div>Would you be angry if you lost a loved one?Would you panic? would you worry? would you cry imagining your little ones without a Mother? or Father?...I did, I did... until I excepted the <i>Lords</i> plan for me.<i> I don't understand it</i>. But, I except it. Now I'm at peace. I KNOW that if I stay here on this beautiful earth, or If I go, it is his plan...which is a perfect plan. One we don't know why or understand at the time... we can't see the big picture. We don't need to know all the answers right now. I know some day we will. After we return home with our Father in Heaven. </div><div><br /></div><div> My plan goes a whole lot differently than this ones going. Prayers are being said, priesthood blessings I have had, and the temple we attend often. The Lord <i>KNOWS</i> my heart, my fears and my worries. </div><div><b>FAITH=TRUST</b> and I trust my <i>Heavenly Father</i> completely. </div><div><br /></div><div>This is the hardest lesson I've learned on my journey through cancer, so far...</div><div>I am VERY controlling when it comes to my family. As any mother would be. We have to learn to let go. </div></div><div>Have FAITH have trust and all will be well.</div></div>ameenoelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09903320095826179486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059225615076183220.post-70678593470862530522011-10-24T22:46:00.000-07:002011-10-24T22:47:44.708-07:00SANTA BARBARA<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsZLUHA-_UIW5XcTv7Vr7-3KEJnsvlQ3jrARChgTu9G0G05RMQmz8FO5DX61tq22qatNqIDh6_UVoP8SFmuLYZ_IWCbQ-BVtKjAgiI8OWP4QAwRG-es8HNOm2FOUCc9lcNto9RKirGdgCK/s1600/IMG_2141.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsZLUHA-_UIW5XcTv7Vr7-3KEJnsvlQ3jrARChgTu9G0G05RMQmz8FO5DX61tq22qatNqIDh6_UVoP8SFmuLYZ_IWCbQ-BVtKjAgiI8OWP4QAwRG-es8HNOm2FOUCc9lcNto9RKirGdgCK/s400/IMG_2141.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667302187779848978" /></a>ameenoelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09903320095826179486noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2059225615076183220.post-49551579487305755082011-10-24T21:38:00.000-07:002011-10-24T22:45:37.061-07:00SANTA BARBARA<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#003300;">Today I got a message from a dear friend in my home town Santa Barbara.

I could not believe our turn out. We had so many donations it was insane. The volunteers at the Goodwill said where in the world did all this stuff come from? I told them it came from families all over our community that want to see a mother get better for her family. They were excited because not only did it help us but it also went to a great cause afterwards.<div><br /><div>There are so many I want to thank. Those that donated, sorters, family that drove all night for support, people with tables, the cute girl scouts that had a bake sale and raised $140.00. A special sister that drove around with me all night hanging signs, letting me freak out cause the stress became to unbearable and taking my children so I could work. Those that showed up at 5:00am on a Sat. friends that stayed to clean up, neighbors from the cul-de-sac, fathers that stayed home with children so their wives could help and vice versa. </div><div><br /></div><div>But there is one person who made it all possible. One that took charge and handled everything, one I could depend on for anything. She has healed me with a healthy kale shake since the day we found out I was sick. With her sister by her side to lift her heavy load. Chandra Miner.

We just saw our family photos taken by <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.TiffanyPortraits.com">Tiffany Portraits</a> and I'm in love! I wanted some photos of us wearing all white in an open field and she captured it perfectly! I felt like I was in heaven being there with my sweet family, with the sun setting, the perfect weather, it was all magical. Tiffany is such a amazing photographer. She works miracles. While I was in the hospital I got a small glimpse of what heaven looks like. And this...I'm telling you, is exactly what I saw. Tiffany is the best around. If you haven't seen her work go to her website and book with her. "I PROMISE" you wont be disappointed. My family and I will cherish these photos forever. I know that on the days I am feeling down these will help lift my spirits.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"> I'm so happy!</span><div><br /> <div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>ameenoelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09903320095826179486noreply@blogger.com0
