New York This time around.... UsAir Much Better!!!

Ok we went to the airport and boarded the plane and then they came over the loud speaker and said:" Its going to be about 15 minutes before we can take off folks. Sit back and realx we will be on our way momentarily." Ok if any of you know my past history with going to New York and seeing a Yankee game go to 2007 August and read that post for Delta. But 15 min and we were off, this time they told the truth. We got to Ny and got Kens bags went outside and this Iranian man asked us if we needed a taxi..... So we get shuffled to this mercedes benz and was in the back seat and what a ride that was going through the streets of Queens and NY city. We got to Manhattan and dropped our bags off and off on our walk we went. We found Rockefellar Center, St Patricks Cathedral which I said a little prayer to and lit a candle on Corbins behalf, went to NBC, walked and found this FIre Station with its doors up and peeked in and saw the memorial they had built for the fallen officers. Went to the game on SUnday and it was AWESOME!!!! I was so close that I could hear the sweat roll down their cheeks!! It was so much fun we had a good time. Yall Derek Jeter was like right there in front of my face and LOOKING at me while I of course took multiple pictures of him! He is C U T E!!!! Johnny Damon was there too got some good ones of him. Petit, Mussina, A-Rod, The shitty pitcher Pavano. Knoe was there too but luckily he got his lazy ass thrown out of the game. Anyways I saw it all. Jason Giambi was right there at 1st so I was the closest to him since we literally sat directly across from 1st base. If these guys would have passed gas We would have heard it!! hahahaha Great views of the whole ball park!! It is a smelly old thing when you are walking in the hallway I guess before you go to your section. THey are small and very narrow! THe new one across the street looks very nice. I hope that I can afford to go see a game there! Enjoy the pics I have 363 more! 360 of them are of Jeter! hahahahahahahaahahah Kens family was awesome for housing us for 3 days. It was nice to see everyone and we cant wait to get back. Im glad I got to see Yankee stadium with Ken!

Go here it is wonderful!!!

My Shaved buddies!

Here they are .. Some of the bravest people I know!! I dont have a picture of Charlie ( the mom) yet but I hear that her head is shaved. Zachary told me that! THis is uncle Chris the real bald head. His Beautiful wife Penny the big brother Chandler, the Daddy Lino and a family friend in the back!! GOod job you guys!! They did a procedure on her today, they put a shunt in her head to allow the excess brain fluid to drain. She is doing well, she is laughing and wants everyone especially Jon Zachary and Nikki to be bald. Corbin may be able to come home before she has to start treatment! I have my hotmail address out there on all these blog sites and I just wanted to share that it is amazing what the internet has done for us! I am communicating with people about this disease and I have to say how nice people are to offer help. People we dont even know. they have had family members sick from this and they just want to extend the prayers.

Just some words... and pictures

Do ya'llk think that this bag is too big for me to take it to the yankee game??Please leave me a comment to let me know. This is what my camera goes in. Corbin is going in for surgery tomorrow. They will be shaving her hair off tonite and they will put a shunt in so hopefully that will help with the draining of the excess fluid. Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers and I just want you all to know that they are working so please dont let them stop!

Sarah my Photo Queen these are for you!

Glioblastoma

I think this is how you spell it. Gliobastoma. I am not going to write what it is. You all can Google it and it is what it is. Please Pray for this little girl. To be without pain. Duke is taking very good care of her and If you have any questions please email me. Thank you for all of your thoughts for Corbin in the last week. She is smiling when the pain isn't there and talking when we ask her questions. It hurts her eyes for the light so the lights re off in the room and we cant talk to loud. Ken and I brought her this glow in the dark coloring thingy I don't know Crayola makes it. Hopefully she will be able to use it! Her brother Chandler is doing well and is unknown to the severity of this Glioblastoma. Corbin doesn't know either and I do not believe they are going to share that info with them. I will keep you all updated. Please Pray.

UPDATE AS OF 9:24, The doctor drilled a hole in her head today to release some fluid. after he did that she felt much better. She had both eyes open which is a good thing!

Updates.. general conversation

I couldn't find 90210 on any of my channels. I flipped and flipped and couldn't find anything. I think it was on one of those WB channels that I don't have programmed in. Ill watch it online if I can find it. Other then that My FEET are killing me. I wear heels to work now, and well I have no one else to blame except for me! My outfit sure does look snazzy though. alright not much here. Corbin is doing well. Her MRI came back today clear and they are now waiting on the pathology report telling us what kind of tumor she has and what the next steps are to get rid of it.
Oh my goodness we have a hurricane coming. Hopefully it wont hit us too bad. Mom.. Wait on buying that beach house, you may get a better deal after the hurricane season.


On another note. Mama sold Daddys car today to my cousins hubby. So its still like in the family. So NOW she gets to park in the garage and it is protected from this hurricane they say that we may get. WHO KNOWS!!!!

Pics I took today.

Well after saving and saving I went out today and got this camera. I got a Sony DSLR-A200. It is so pretty. I had a blast today taking these pics of absolutley nothing. hahaha The Lake is the lake behind my house. Oak Hollow. The old man I thought was funny sitting there fishing, he was listening to NPR, fishing away. At one point he was even talking back to the radio. Funny. The plant I think is my favorite. There is so much depth in it and Ahhh I dont have any kiddies to take pics of or animals. The doggies are at Kens. Ken told me yall to buy this. So I DID! I love it. I spent my tips on this instead of a vacation. My vacation yall know was FREE!!!!!! I got a really good deal, Circuit City I think hooked me up! Not really but I like to think they did. hahahahaha Enjoy the pics Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.. Off to watch 90210!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE

Update on Corbin.
She went into surgery first thing this morning. There were 2 cysts attached to the tumor. They extracted the fluid that was in them and then cut out part of the tumor. Since it was growing from the inside of her brain they couldn't get it all. She is fine and in recovery and will be in ICU for the next 24 hrs. She will then be moved to a room and monitored closely. Thank you for your prayers and please keep them coming, she isn't out of the woods yet. When I hear news from the pathology report Ill let you know. Thank you!

Busy Day

Corbin

Today has been a crazy day. My friends daughter is in Duke right now with a tumor growing out of her brain. She will have surgery first thing tomorrow morning and I would love it if you all had Corbin in your thoughts and prayers. She has been in mine all day and I know she is in great care at Duke. I dont know much about the tumor all I know is that it is growing from the inside of her brain. It is touching the major part of a nerve in the brain. Hopefully he can remove it tomorrow without jarring or damaging the nerve, but we will have to wait to see. I will keep everyone updated as time goes on.

It was my Aunt Helens 90th birthday today, so Happy Birthday to her. We had a nice time at her party and it was great to see everyone at a happy occasion.
I hope everyone has a nice Labor Day. Drive careful. Please dont forget to put Corbin in your prayers. Thank you!
