OOPS It's been a while!

Well I am quite stinky at updating a blog, for this I appologize! Well life in the Myler home is still quite stressed and crazy and yet they are very aware of each and every blessing they have! My mom will be getting pictures to post for everyone to see!

Mistie is now doing Chemo one day per week for about the next eight months......YUCK! She is starting to feel the effects of the treatment and is struggling with the things that seem like easy everyday tasks, but she keeps on trying and doing what she can it just is hard with a house full of kiddos... So for those of you who live in the area feel free to drop in and offer a helping hand!

February is almost here!

This has been an extremely hard month for Justin and Mistie and their family but they are truly amazing!

Mistie has been getting quite sick from the radiation and chemo treatments but she is still fighting. Along with the expected malaise of radiation and chemo Mistie has also had the pleasure of spending time in the hospital because of dehydration (her throat was to soar to even drink) spending time in the hospital because of blood clots in the port, and to top it all off their youngest Laura spent several days in the hospital with pneumonia. Can you say month from heck...

With all this going on they are still able to recognize blessings, and look to the good things that they have been blessed with. Such as kind family and friends that have so generously donated time and or money. The great news is because of this they have been able to get a new washer and dryer (the washer was on it's last leg and they didn't have a dryer)(thanks - you know who you are) a new refrigerator (their last one didn't work Justin had to keep the freezer door propped open on the inside in order to keep the fridge portion cooled----kudos to Justin for thinking that one up) and the basement is finished with the exception of laying the carpet.

Justin and Mistie are so thankful and hopeful, because of each of you who have helped in which ever way, be it big or small, because of you they see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. Despite the medical bills that keep pouring in, they know that somehow there will be a way...

WOW I can hardly imagine the amount of faith that they have used and the amount of faith they are gaining through this hard time in their life!

We thank everyone who has helped and please if you have the means to help more now or in the future please do they need all the help we can find for them.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The weekend work project was great! Justin and Mistie are so grateful to each person who came and helped or donated materials or money with every ones help so much has been accomplished.

The Basement: They were able to get the stairs built from the living room down into the basement, all the framing, wiring, insulation and sheet rock completed! WOW that is incredible!! The boys are hoping to be into their new room this weekend!!!

The Front Porch: The entire porch was ripped out and replaced, so now they have a nice solid front porch so walk across... or run across depending on who it is..... =0)

The family is working on getting the kitchen updated and more user friendly so this is great! They will also be able to sheet rock the hallway and paint the interior of the home thanks to another kind person willing to donate his time and expertise!

The whole family is so thrilled with everything that has been done that it is neat to see. The children are excited and so unspoiled that it warms your heart just to see their reactions. This has been one of the hardest and best Christmas seasons this family has had. They have experienced the terror of hearing the words cancer used and yet have felt the out pour of blessing at the same time. People strangers, family and friends have all blessed them in different ways but each of them have blessed the family in ways that could never be described or re payed.

I told Justin that I will never again look at those jars on the counters of the store the same or just over look them I will always give a little because as I have witnessed in the Myler family every little bit helps and it all adds up! So my plea to all that read this is that you will continue to pray for your family and loved ones and have an eye that is open to those whom you can help and that your lives are blessed for all the good you do.

Thank you to each person who has helped. Ok enough of my mushy side...LOL

Justin took Mistie to Cedar City today for another round of radiation, she wont have chemo this week but will next week and from there on out. Thank goodness right now the medication is working for the nausea; so although Mistie feels extremely tired she is not having to deal the the nausea at this point. The doctors also informed them (Mistie and Justin) that Mistie wouldn't have a break in between treatments as they thought she would. They will go directly from radiation to chemo, but Mistie will be able to be home during the treatments so that was really encouraging!

I will keep you posted when I find things out, and Justin is working on getting me some pictures to post so everyone can see how much they have helped.
