Gardening

I just remembered how much fun I had last Saturday when I took some time to garden. Mark was in New Hampshire shooting a wedding, so it was something fun to keep my busy on a Saturday afternoon.

I wanted to show off my pretty hanging plant...I got the basket from Em & Jess for my birthday a year or so ago, and just got new plants for it.
The big pot with one tiny lonely flower should look different soon. Tim & Liz Jenson gave out a paper note at their wedding that was embedded with wildflower seeds. We'll see if I can get them to grow!

A Thank You is due to my mom who always was in the garden early Saturday mornings and gave me a green thumb.

Our 3rd awesome daughter was born March 2013 with a large vascular mass on her neck, diagnosed as an atypical nodular melanocytic proliferation. Surgery January 2015. There was worry of melanoma in the mass after being removed, but all her scans were clear until...March 2016 Ruby was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma, two weeks afer her third birthday. Tens of spindle cell tumors in her lungs. We tried an immunotherapy drug April/May 2016 that may have been the cause of stabilizing the tumors. Back on Nivolumab January-November 2017. A visit to St.Jude Childrens Research Hospital and further testing there discovered a gene mutation in the lung biopsy and a couple drugs that target it. She has been on a clinical trial (phase 1 drug) of Entrectinib since December 2017. She had surgery Feb 2019 to remove some suspicious (but benign) looking tumors and got her port out in May. She continues to take the drug every day and hospital visits every 4 weeks. Her most recent scans show there is no evidence of disease! She will continue on the trial drug for maybe another year or two.... in the meantime we are trusting in God and enjoying our time together.
