Today was day 7 of radiation therapy. 18 more to go. It hasnt been rough just been really exhausted all day long everyday. After this last chemo, last week, I have began to despise water. LOL..it's weird too because anyone who has been around me much knows I drink lots of water and love water! It's so nasty now! Thank you Crystal light lemonade!
Well my Barrett now is about 10 1/2 pounds! He's so good looking and keeps changing everyday! He's started coo-ing more and smiling while awake! He gave me the cutest sweetest smile today; it melted my heart! I'm not going to lie, he is such a joy to have around but it is hard at times. It's hard when I'm so tired and run down, naseaus, or just on days that I'm down in spirits and hurting emotionally. But he is what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for me and him. He is my world and I wouldn't have it any other way. I feel so blessed everyday to have him in my life. I'm going to try to post now a few times a week. Thank you all who continue to pray for us! We love you! And thank you Aunt Aprile who created this blog for us! You truly are an amazing person in every way! And if any of you would like a "Fight for Barre" bracelet just let me know!

BARRE PUTTING HIS BABY TOES IN THE SAND ON THE BEACH!!!

July 15th

Hi Everyone! Well July is just flying by so fast! Barre had is first road trip to Port Lavaca for a family wedding! The pictures posted are of him and his mom Kim on their much needed get away!

Barre continues to grow as you can see and is such a good baby and a joy to his mom! Kim is still doing her chemo and her radiation started last week. Radiation is everyday for a few minutes for the next 4 weeks! Kim continues to amaze us with her strength to fight this. She has her ups and downs as well as good and bad days, and that is okay. The main thing is that she pulls herself up and goes forward; your my hero KIM!!!

Pray for her to keep focused on the fight for herself and Barre! Pray that she will continue to have the heart and strength to pull herself up on the hard days and that God will grace her with his love. WE love you Kim and when you need, just take our strength...it's here for you!

Kim and Barre are doing great! As you can tell Barrett is filling out and almost weighs 9 pounds!

Kim has a break from her chemo for another week or so and then radiation starts soon, but for now she is feeling good and enjoying Barrett! Keep her in your prayers to stay strong and for Barrett to keep growing strong and continues to be her inspiration!

FED EX just delivered the bracelets! They look great!
