Team Juli 5K Benefit Walk for me :)

My son Adam made the design for the T-Shirts. But he would like to have it as a tattoo. Just love it!

Look at all these amazing people! What a day it was. Close to 650 people signed up! 500 walked!

Adam walking.

Here is my oldest son Nicholas. Coolspring Volunteer Firemen and Michigan City's Firemen ran the 5K in full gear for me. Nicholas said to me it's nothing compared to what you go through. Their all amazing for doing what they did for me. Thank you all for doing what you did on that hot day. Love you all!

My son Jory, Beth & Kristen running.

They walked on a hot day for me. You can see them all as far as your eyes can see. AMAZING!

The start to a great day. Thanks to Eddie for the limo. Kids loved it!

I can never thank the group of family & friends who put on the "Team Juli" 5K walk. I have the most amazing family & friends. I mean really.....they all worked so hard to do this. They all made my heart so happy that I can never say thank you enough. It's hard enough to have cancer but to have stage 4 breast cancer talkes a toll on everyone around you. I thank god everyday that I wake up. Everyday is a blessing. That I know.

Everyone should be thankful that they wake up everyday and see their family & friends. I am. So take a moment and say thank you to god for being here. I do.

I am thankful for every second & every friend. I am thankful for my family. I will be strong. I will stay positive.

Stand up to cancer and don't let it run you. You run the cancer. You take charge of your cancer. You be strong. Strong enough for the world to be on your shoulders. You can do it. I do it everyday. If I can......YOU CAN!

Pneumonia

So sorry I haven't been on here lately. I have/had double pneumonia. So I've been in and out of the hospital for the past 3 months. Last stay was May 2nd though May 8th. I did get home to enjoy some of Mother's Day.

I'm slowly getting better. It's just going to take some time for me to get back to 100%. So no chemo this month. Doctor wants me to get stronger so I won't end up back in the hospital. I have to say the nurse's & CNA's on the 4th floor sure did take wonderful care of me. That I am very thankful for.

I haven't let the pneumonia get me down. I'm still positive about everything. You just have to be. If your not, well I think you just let the cancer win. Why would you let cancer win???

So I tell everyone who has cancer or is in remission.....BE POSITIVE! Laugh, cry & be mad that you have it......BUT......look at yourself in the mirror and just tell yourself you can do this. BE strong....BE positive.....BUT most of all.....believe in your self.

Just the kids having fun!

Hospital Stay

Last week had a nice long stay at the hospital. Went in to the ER on a Friday and didn't come home until late Monday. It took all week for me to finally feel better. When I came home on last Monday I slept for 12 hours! I had to have 2 transfusions of blood platelets. Then went to Dr. Kang on Thursday and my counts went up to 38. Not the greatest but they still went up. So we will see what my blood work has to say this week. Hopefully the count went up more. Plus my white counts were high due to the kidney infection. Feeling much better from that now too. That's why I went into the hospital. But all in all I'm feeling much better.

Humble

We should all go out into life and teach people to BE POSITIVE. Be humble in life. Don't sweat the small stuff in life....it will still be there when you wake up the next day. Do I think I'd be humble with life right now if I didn't have cancer. I wonder? At some point I would be. But I am right at this moment. So I guess you can say that cancer has taught me somthing in life. Will I be able to teach you that? Will you learn from me? I guess you can say that is up to you. It's up to you what you do with your life. I just hope I've left my print on you in a positive way.
