Holy Sweet Baby Jesus!!

It looks like I am so blessed another time. I just got both of my new scans back and all good news!!

No sign of the devil's disease right now today.

I am so excited and so grateful that God is keeping me around to enjoy this beautiful earth a little longer. I know the funk can come back at any time, but these good news scans will now get me to fully step up my game!!

Wahooooo, more racing, more traveling, more lovin', more happy memories coming, more times with friends, more visiting my siblings, more petting animals... More... More... More!!

32 foot races and over 550 running miles in the last 365 days!! I thank God for allowing me to be able to keep running during this most terrible dark time that I just experienced. To be able to fight, keep my head up and run....was and is totally a gift from God. In the dark times, I saw some light. In the times of total pain and despair I cried out with all my heart....and he heard me. I will never have a doubt about that. I could not have made it without his light and I will be forever grateful. For some reason, God still wants me here and he wants me to continue living and letting everyone know that he is only a prayer away.

Before I was diagnosed on June 21 of 2023, I could do a 3.1 mile (5k) foot race in 22:30. After my final chemo treatment a few months ago, my time was 40 minutes My last weekend's time was 26:50. Every run and every race fills my soul with God's spirit. It is like he has on Nikes and shorts running right along beside me, telling me that I am worth saving, that I am a decent human being. (A human bean, my Mom would always say. 😊)

I am now only doing immunotherapy treatment every three weeks through my chemo port. I feel much better now. My resting heart rate has lowered almost back to where it was at before this started. It is currently at 43 to 45 beats per minute when resting. I am sleeping now pretty good and my strength is starting to come back. Oh, how thankful and grateful I am to see new sunrises! 🙏🙏🙏

To my irrigation people, please hang with me a little more during these times of me coming out of the ashes. Please stay with me during this most dry and hot season, as I am improving Quality Irrigation's response time and working on getting everyone back on schedule. A little more time and I promise to make you proud you stuck by my side when I was down. You are all very good people that I am proud to know! I sincerely mean that. Thank you! 🙏

Anyhoo, all I can say is Jonny is back and he will be a better person than he was at any time in his life. God has given me this most precious gift, and I am going to live it in a way that I hope makes him proud.

Thank you sweet Jesus!!
