Cora Mac

This sweet little baby girl named, Cora, as gone threw so much in her little life. She has cancer. She not even one yet. She started getting ear infections after ear infections and black eyes, they didn't know how she was getting them. The doctor did some blood work and took an x-ray of her abdomen where he found that liver was enlarged. The parents took her to a different doctor where he could test her and he found a "mass" by her kidney and spots on her liver. The next day, from the CT scan they could see a tumor next to her kidney and spots on her liver. Cora would need surgery to remove the tumor, take a bone marrow sample, and put a cath in for chemo treatments. She had her surgey to remove the tumor and the doctor said that it did look like Neuroblastoma (a form of cancer). A couple more surgeys and still the cancer is stage 4 and has spread to other parts of her body. She started chemo last night.

Please pray for her. She so young. The Doctor does believe that since she under 12 months, she has a better chance. Also, pray for the parents, they need all the strenght, they can get.

As you can see, she had enough.


They do have a blog and they do put updates on it and their prayer needs.

God bless that family.

Madison, Ohio

The truth be told, I left my heart in Madison, Ohio.

Every time I think about that little town, I break down more and more. That where I want to be. I hate that we left and moved. I hate more than anything in the world.

I know I sound like a little kid complaining but it the honest to god truth.

That where I want to be. Every time, I think about the my degree and things in that nature, I always say, I want a job where I can be in Madison. I mean it. I really want to be there.

More than anything.

Mini Vaca-Trip

I started 2009 out with a bang well sorta of. Lyd,Debbie and I went a road trip to see Charisma and Jonathan. We traveled threw the mountains which were no fun to drive threw but they were beautiful.

The weather wasn't that great so it just kinda ended up being a vacation. Which was a big downer but it was wonderful visiting them. They treated us just like family. I felt so welcomed there. I couldn't ask for anything better.


We mostly play games which created a lot of good laughs. And watch lots of movies, lots.


Aren't they just perfect couple. This is how their niece smiles.

Since that weather was a big bummer, Charisma took us to a small town that look like we step back in time.

Charisma took us to the most amazing ice cream place. yummy.
They live in such a small time that almost everything that they wanted to take us too was closed. So they ended up taking us bowling which was a good time. It was just awesome spending time with them. The sad part was we learned that I cannot bowl worth anything.

And the next day we went home but we did stop in WV and see the mountains one last time and they are still beautiful.



When we got into PA, this is what we saw:

It wasn't the trip we plan but it was amazing. I am very thankful that we got to go on this trip. Thankful for friends like Charisma and Jonathan that let us stay in their house and for friends like Lydia and Debbie that wanted to go on this trip with me.
