Latest Update on Michael ~
Sorry for the delay in updating. Since Michael has been in remission, life has gone back into full speed. I would not say normal, I would just say back to the busy schedule I have… Between working full time and helping mom run her flea market; trying to get a business started and off the ground; taking care of the house, cars, animals or other odd jobs; trying to find time to jump in the pool to play with my nieces and nephew, spend time with Michael, spend time with our daughter or just to enjoy life; time just gets away. Days just run together. I cannot believe it is already July.
First, Michael is doing pretty well. He has his days if you know what I mean. He just had his second haircut since completing treatment in October. Before, he would have to get a haircut every 3 weeks, now it’s more like every 3 months. He has lost some weight over the past few months, which is a GREAT thing. He is down 2 pants sizes and still has a few more to go. He continues to work on his weight loss. He still has spells of weakness and overall fatigue. He still has pain on and off in his back, which at times can get pretty severe, and still gets his headaches every now and then. He still has not gone back to work as they will not let him be a mechanic with all his back problems.
He saw his oncologist, had labs and a chest x-ray in April. His counts still are low and the doctor said it may take a while still before they start to climb back towards his “pre-chemo” levels. His chest x-ray looked good. We will go see his oncologist again in October and have labs and another chest x-ray unless any problems arise before then. He’s not schedule for any scans until January 2011. I have been trying to talk him in to going and seeing his orthopedic surgeon about his back pains, but he just brushes me off… Men what are we going to do with them.
Michael has been doing “odd jobs” around the house to keep himself busy. He did finally get his 454 re-built and in his truck (for the second time) and it looks like they are working on another project out in the shop now. He can spend all day and night out in that shop. You still can not get him away from working on cars.
My mother had surgery on her hand about a month ago for the arthritis in her hand and is in a cast for a few more weeks, so on the weekends, Michael and I have been going out to Quinlan, TX to run her booth at the flea market out there. We will continue to help her with is until she gets her cast off and goes through her rehab. That seems to be the only time now that Michael and I get to see each other, which could be a good thing or a bad thing…
July 4th is fast approaching. We wish everyone a safe, happy 4th of July. And remember to thank those serving our Country. Because of these brave men and women, we can continue to celebrate our freedom. THANK YOU! We usually have a big 4th of July / birthday celebration but will put that off once again. We still don’t have a place of our own yet and we aren’t in the celebrating mood lately. I am just looking forward to having the 5th off of work, but I am sure I will be busy that day. This year, most of the nation will get a day off work to celebrate my son’s 19th birthday. How great is that!!
We have a few birthdays coming up in the next two months. Our son Michael will turn 19 on July 5th. Happy Birthday Michael, we love you and hope you have a fantastic day. Time sure does fly, it seems like yesterday he was this cute lil’ guy running around enjoying the 4th with us. Now he’s off doing his own thing. Hopefully you will read this message and know we think of you daily, we pray for you, we love you, and miss you. You have been on our minds a lot lately. We would love to see or hear from you soon.
My brother in Kansas City has a birthday on July 7th. Happy 38th birthday Steve. Wow, you sure are getting up there in age… Kyle, my nephew (one of Steve & Julie’s boy) in Kansas City, has a birthday on July 8th. Also, our nephew, Anthony, will be turning 1 on July 21st. Lil’ Turkey is already walking or should I say running. He is such a hoot and calls his Uncle Mike, Dodge… Yes, Michael has already taught the boy how to say Dodge. He has to teach these kids early of what a real car is. Then August 2nd, my sister-in-law will have a birthday and then I get to turn the big 4-0 towards the end of August. Yes, I am looking forward to it!!
I am working extremely hard to bring our NASCAR Nick & Friends car back. Yes, you heard it right. Be watching here, on facebook, and on twitter. Be sure to watch on Nick & Friends Sarcoma Foundation website or their facebook page. We will be once again asking everyone to vote to help us bring more awareness to this dreaded disease. We MUST get this car into the TOP TEN this round so we can get this car on the track in Phoenix this fall. Yes, that is almost right in the back yard of Nick & Friends!!
If you are on facebook, please go and friend “Fight Sarcoma”. Right now, they have a few other voting contests going on to bring more awareness to Sarcoma. Once is the Chase Community Giving and the other is one of our Sarcoma Mom’s (Ronda) asking for votes for her myown Oprah audition “ Ronda's Recover and Redecorate Audition Video” where she wants to help cancer patients by giving them a little piece of “heaven” while they recover. Go check them out and vote!!!!! You can also find those links on my facebook page.
With that, please continue to keep all these beautiful warriors in your thoughts and prayers along with their families. These warriors go through so much.
Sending everyone big warm Texas hugs and I promise not to be so long before our next update!!

Latest Update ~
First, as you all know, our NASCAR did not make the top 10. We were only 320 points behind the 10th place car. Well guess what we found out this morning….
We can still vote on the car to keep it the No. 1 spot of the “Most Likes”. Yes, right now our Nick & Friends car is sitting in #1 of the Most Likes Gallery. What does this mean? Don’t know yet. But all I can say is please click the link and give our car a thumb up by saying you “Like this Design”.
www.sponsafier.com/share/201541
Some how, some way, we will find us a way to get a NASCAR Race Car designed like this featured. Please help us find a way!!
Second, Michael is coming up in his next set of 3 months scans. All we are having done this time is just a chest x-ray, lab work, and visit with the oncologist. We will go to the imaging center next Wednesday morning (April 14th), have a nice lunch, go see he favorite vampires (the lab), and then see his favorite oncologist. Not to worried about this visit.
Michael has been trying to keep himself busy. He has an older truck he has been working on re-building. He still has his good days and bad days. His legs and back bother him at times, but I think he just don’t want anyone to know. He just learns to live with it. He knows he will have back pain for the rest of his life. His hands and feet bother him still a bit.
He keeps telling me it’s time for a haircut. If you know my husband, he has always since he was in the military worn a very short hair style. Since he finished chemo last October, he has not had his first haircut yet. I am just in “LOVE” with all the curls that have come back this time. So we like to discuss back and forth whether or not he can get a haircut. I finally caved in this past week so today he went and got his first haircut since it has grown back. It will be interesting to see if he will have to keep it cut as much as he use to. It’s still not as thick as it was.
As always, please continue to keep all these beautiful sarcoma warriors in your thoughts and prayers. Also, please help us help Nick & Friends to bring much needed awareness to this dreaded disease that is taking our loved ones, and invading our lives.
Sending you beautiful warm Texas hugs!!~

I have copied this from one of our biggest cheerleaders:
The White Flag Is In Hand
In NASCAR, the officials wave a white flag on the lap before the final lap for the checkered. Folks, the official has it in his hand and we aren't ready for the push. Please, Please, Please....it is time, time for all of us to put the pedal to the medal, to finish strong and place as high as we can in this race. Please make it a point to go to every one of your pages or perhaps send each an email with the link, begging for the vote. Ask them to help, send out the link, do it on face book, do it on care pages, do it on my space, just do it anywhere people will see. We have thousands of people that follow our cause and I just can't tell you what it would mean to all of us if we were to win this race. I want to close by leaving this bit of info with you, pass it on if you'd like. This year, the Daytona 500 drew an 11.3 rating in TV viewers according to ESPN, this is the largest rating they have ever drawn and it relates to (drum roll please) 37 freaking million viewers. WOW!!!!! I would say that’s pretty good exposure, wouldn't you? Good Luck Pit Crew!!!
Yes, this would be a dream come for so many families. Please help!!!
And from the bottom of mine and Michael’s heart, we thank each and every one of you!! Know we could not do this without you!!
Sending you warm hugs!! ~

Why this is important to Michael, me and the hundreds of Sarcoma family members!!
First let me say one great big THANK YOU to all my wonderful, supportive cheerleaders we have out there helping get the word out there on this contest.
Second, go and vote, vote today, vote tomorrow, and vote every day from now until the end of the month. We only have 10 days left. Vote from your computer and every single computer you have in your house. Vote at home, vote at work, have your co-workers vote. Even ask your boss to vote. This could mean the world to those hundreds of names listed on this car. The link to the car is:
http://www.sponsafier.com/share/201541
Directly from Nick & Friends:
Why is this NASCAR contest is so important? Sarcoma is rare. Its victims forgotten. There is little research & the survival rate is low. Most people have never heard the word sarcoma. This MUST change. We must make sure that everyone hears, sees and understands the word sarcoma. This car will put that "S" word in front of thousands of eyes... Awareness=Funding=Research=Cure! PLEASE continue to vote
What Nick & Friends mean to Michael and I:
Here you have 2 of the most amazing people in this world that does not know you until they see your story. Then they become one of you closest, best friends. As I can say the same about their volunteers, those fighting their sarcoma, and the caregivers and family members, anyone you meet that know what / who Nick and Friends is.
Cancer is a scary thing, but to hear you have a rare cancer and there just isn't much out there on this, well that puts a whole different scare on it. I have met some of the most wonderful people who are fighting this fight just as we are. And when we lose a precious angel, the love and support is outstanding to that family.
Bring Sarcoma Awareness:
We need to bring more awareness to Sarcoma. We need more research done. We need more answers on the what / why / hows of Sarcoma. Those that know and have followed Michael’s journey or another Sarcoma Warriors journey know how hard these treatments are on these babies, these children, these men and women fighting this disease. Yes, some do become Survivors as Michael, some are still fighting this battle, some have become survivors just to fight it again, and some become our precious angels.
Please help me make this dream come true:
This was just a hey, lets try this and see what we can do idea of Michael and me. But let me tell you, reading the carepages, caringbridge pages of those fighting and asking for help, reading the words that this precious child loves to watch these numbers climb on this car, seeing Michael’s face (yes a big 40 year old kid) when I tell him the numbers, reading all those postings on facebook, seeing all the people on facebook asking to be tagged to the photos of this screenshots going on the car, is just simply amazing and so heartwarming. Please help me make this dream come true. This would mean the world to Michael to actually be part of this car, this race and personally, from my point of view, what better way to celebrate being a survivor then being at the race and bringing awareness to the foundation that helped us and to these terrible disease. As Andrea said, how many people really know what Sarcoma is. And then think of how many of you can watch these beautiful names race around the track.
From one of the wives:
Don't wait until cancer affects your life or the ones you love to start caring, help raise awareness and find a cure NOW! Anyone could be the next one diagnosed. Trust me, we never thought my husband would get cancer at age 22. Take two seconds and VOTE!!!!!!!!!!
Here is what one of our mothers has to say about this:
It would be SO cool to see this car racing around the NASCAR track.. and SO fitting. This disease is like a high speed car race that keeps going around and around and around in circles. Sometimes we ride the high tracks and sometimes the low. And along he way, we have many pit stops. But the pits are ALWAYS where we find our team waiting to fix us up and put us back on the track. You guys are our team!
As you see, this is not only for Michael; this means the world to the hundreds of names on this car and their families, my big family!!
PLEASE VOTE and SPREAD THE WORD TO GET MORE VOTES!!

GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES!!!! We Need Everyone to Vote, Vote, Vote ~
First of all, Michael is doing pretty well. More on him in a bit…
I have one GREAT BIG favor to ask everyone one of Michael’s followers. Michael is a HUGE NASCAR fan. While watching the races, we saw a contest to design our own race car to sponsor during the All Star race this May and well we decided to enter. It was no question of what we wanted to put on the car. As you can see from following the link, we proudly put Nick & Friends Sarcoma Foundation on the car. We have also included a yellow ribbon with each Sarcoma Warrior’s name. It is a chance for us to bring much needed awareness to Sarcoma.
The winner, gets to be at the All Star Race, meet & greet with the driver we chose to drive the car, a lap around the track in the car and most of all, the winning car will be sponsored in the All Star Race. Now how cool would that be to see each of our beautiful warriors racing 190 miles an hour around that track!!!!
This would be a dream of a lifetime for Michael to be at this race, rubbing elbows with some of the greatest NASCAR drivers ever. Plus a chance for us to bring awareness to Sarcoma and Nick & Friends. Just think of this as a big 40 year old man’s biggest dream!!!
So, follow the link, vote now and you can vote once a day for the next 15 days. We have a long ways to go, so please spread the word, vote daily… the top cars have many many votes (tens of thousands), but with our great, beautiful, big-hearted sarcoma family, each of our own families and friends, we can make this dream come true for Michael, and for each Sarcoma Warrior who has fought, is still fighting, and for those beautiful Angels already in Heaven.
http://www.sponsafier.com/share/201541
Back to Michael,
He is doing pretty well. He has a full head of hair, full beard again and tinkering out in the shop. He is currently re-building a truck and loves every minute of it. He still does have his good days and bad. Some days he still can not get out of bed with the back pain. He still gets the headaches every now and then. But most of all, he is on his way back to the top!!
Thank you for all your love, prayers and support along the way. Please, remember to keep all these beautiful Sarcoma Warriors in your daily thoughts and prayers. Also please pray for a cure. And oh yeah, don’t forget to vote daily and spread the word. We need all the awareness we can get!!!
Warm Hugs~

We have a long ways to go, so please spread the word, vote daily… the top cars have many many votes (tens of thousands), but with our great, beautiful, big-hearted sarcoma family, each of our own families and friends, we can make this dream come true for Michael, and for each Sarcoma Warrior who has fought, is still fighting, and for those beautiful Angels already in Heaven.

Back to Michael,
He is doing pretty well. He has a full head of hair, full beard again and tinkering out in the shop. He is currently re-building a truck and loves every minute of it. He still does have his good days and bad. Some days he still can not get out of bed with the back pain. He still gets the headaches every now and then. But most of all, he is on his way back to the top!!
Thank you for all your love, prayers and support along the way. Please, remember to keep all these beautiful Sarcoma Warriors in your daily thoughts and prayers. Also please pray for a cure. And oh yeah, don’t forget to vote daily and spread the word. We need all the awareness we can get!!!
Warm Hugs~
