Today is a blessing!

"This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24

Today was a BIG day for my mom (Hi, it's Meredith again!)-- she finished her last of ten radiation treatments and had the painful port removed! Oh happy day!! Megan, Carson & I went with her to her afternoon appointment to celebrate the end of this phase of treatment, and to watch her "ring the bell!" A little "ceremony" thing they do at MDA when you finish a round of treatment. Carson brought pink roses for his JiJi & a sweet woman named Melinda that we have been blessed to get to know the past few weeks. She and my mom have been on virtually the exact same surgery/treatment schedule. She got to "ring the bell" today too! Enjoy a few pictures of the "celebratory" last day of radiation treatment...
Pink Roses for JiJi & Melinda from Carson
Sending her off for her last round of treatment and port removal...
The MD Anderson Bell...
"Ring this bell 3 times well,
It's toll to clearly say
My treatment's done,
This course is run,
and I am on my way!"
Pink roses for sweet Melinda...
Mom walking out... Radiation ALL DONE!
Precious Melinda ringing her bell! She's ALL done with cancer treatments.
Treats for the incredible staff from JiJi...
Big hug for the wonderful Dr. Bloom!
Mom's turn to ring the bell...
This course is run... hooray!
The wonderful staff at MD Anderson Radiation Center of Bellaire... truly incredible!
How incredible are these two? Both of them have had TEN rounds of radiation treatments this week (two today) and both are just moments from walking out of having their ports removed... they look RADIANT! "The JOY of the Lord is my strength!"
My mom has asked me to let you all know that she will be posting this weekend... so be sure to check back for an update directly from her.

As Mother's Day is upon us, I simply cannot say thank you in enough ways on behalf of our family for praying over our precious mother this week, this month, and over the past several months... we believe in a God that can do immeasurably more than all we could ever ask or imagine. Thank you for partnering with our family during this faith journey.

Love & Blessings from all of the Greer's!
AND A VERY HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU AND YOURS...
