LU Homecoming and a Georgeous Day Out at MO Botanical Gardens

Christian and his parents at recent Lindenwood U homecoming parade.

John and I took advantage of the beautiful weather today to visit the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St Louis. We included a few snapshots of our big adventure. Best thing about weekday visits--no crowds. We started out with a visit to World's Fair Donuts. They were the perfect wholesome snack while sitting in the Japanese Garden. 


I'm feeling pretty good these days, although I still get pretty tired by afternoon. Tomorrow morning I will be having radiosurgery to attack another tumor location. And then later in the week I expect to have a "port" installed to make treatments easier. 


Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers. Keep it up!  --Love, Sarah

This photo is of John, me, and my brother-in-law, John Gray at  recent wedding of our nephew Jeff Snodgrass and Melissa Krone. Since most of my hair is gone, I decided to wear the dreaded wig and a hat. What a fashion statement! We had a wonderful time.

Today we met with the Dr. and saw the "new " (after treatments) MRI, and were disappointed that the remaining part of the tumor had not decreased in size. So I will be scheduled for radio-surgery soon. It will only be a half day procedure, and I am sure more MRI's will follow and chemo pills five days every month to prevent more cancer cells growing. John and I both agreed that when this is over we will need a vacation!
