Good afternoon everyone,

Unfortunately since dads passing mom and I are unable to take care of the house. Mom and I discussed that we should put the house up for sale.

Dad did a lot to the house since we moved here. I wish we could’ve finished it for him.

Thank you for following the progress of our house. Dad was always so excited about our fb page and happy to show everyone what he was doing.

See the link below for the details on the listing.

Well it's been three weeks since our last post and I like to say things are getting better. My right side has a lack of feelings from the knee down so it makes it hard to walk. Which also means I can't feel if I hurt myself from the shoulder down, so I have to be careful, limited power tools.

I just had an appt with the Oncologist so see where I am with all this, another two weeks and sounds like we might be going back to chemo. This Monday I ave an ultrasound on my right foot to find out what it going on. June 15th I have an MRI to see how the edema is doing. June 17th another appt. with the Oncologist. If the steroids aren't working then they'll put a port in my arm and will have infusion once a week. If it comes down to that I will not be able to visit everyone this year.

Overall, I'm very tired and don't have a lot of energy to do much. In the meantime, I'm working on designing the house to keep my mind busy. Daphne Miller have picked out the colors and when I have the energy we will start painting and siding the north side. It will be a slow process.

I was approved to SSDI which I'll starting collecting in July. My short term disability ends this month and then long term disability starts which is only 40% of my pay, so far we are doing fine and should last to get our first check for SSDI.

Thank you for everyone's support through this time, I appreciate it.

Hello to my local area friends. There is a huge garage sale going on at 1500 Gulf St in Lamar. Stop by and check out all the deals!

We have had some wonderful progress today. With the help of steroids Shawn is able to move his leg much better today. He will still need some physical therapy but he is much better than before. 💜 He is also able to communicate much better. Thank you all for your support throughout this difficult journey. The way it’s looking we may be able to go home today and have home health for his therapy! Yay May we always find light in the dark.

Namaste 🙏

Well, I'm on my last three days for radiation and chemo. It has finally started to wear me down. We will be going home on Weds. to rest. I will have an MRI on my birthday, June 13, and then a follow up with Oncology to discuss the next step. I do know I will be bald for awhile, 6-12 months, as I am being it fitted for a DC (direct current) battery and magnets that will be fitted to my head. These will have to be fitted every couple of day, this is suppose to keep the cancer from spreading by keep them spinning. New technology that are going thru trials as we speak. I'll try anything at this point.

I want to thank you everyone who helped get us here, especially the American Cancer Society for housing and feeding us for free, all the volunteers, and friends/family for the support. We know we still have a long journey and we are still fighting.

Miller's Historic Mansion followers, I wanted to let you know that even there has been a delayed in construction, it will continue. I planned to start tackling the north side siding this year and was working on that getting the pieces ready. I got some surprises coming up for the big window and trying to possibly getting the doors ready. We have only one wall left, south wall, and planned on stripping it soon.

I know that there has been a lot of hospital visit but I'm planning to get on this so we can start the inside. Underground electrical is being planned at this point also. I did bring my notebooks so I could continue planning. So hold in there, we will be back with you in a short time.

Thanks for your patience.
Shawn and Daphne

Are you ready for our new game?

Easy rules for every one. Remember that my comprehension it a little slow.

Every question is from some time in my life.

You can have multiple guesses. I will tell you if you get an answer right, but not which one.

Only the right answer or no correct answer will end that's weeks question.

If the correct answer is given, more details will be added to the story.

If the incorrect or no answer is given the full story will be given at the end of the week.

The harder the question the more points given for the question.

The points for the question will be listed at the beginning. (The points are really not for keeping track, it is a way for me to keep track of easy or hard questions.)

This is a chance to give people a way to learn more about me. Some of you have known me for many years (35-54 years) and some that would be very new friends (5-34 years).

Question: 1
Points - 5

This is my youngest and most traumatic memory

It involved myself, my brother and my mom

There was no injury

It happened in my Home State

I was hanging on for dear life

Another week has gone by with many appointments. Our oncology team is wonderful. We know we’re in good hands!

Our oncologist said the biggest challenge is to make sure Shawn doesn’t brood. He wants us to make sure that we keep Shawn’s mind active. That is what helps rebuild neural pathways.

Shawn and I will be spending some time in Kansas City for his treatment so our plan is to maybe visit the museum and zoo on days he is not overly tired. Then on days that going out is to much he needs to work on brain puzzles like suduko and crosswords. Anything that will keep his mind sharp and repair those pathways.

As always we are staying positive and focused on his healing journey. Thank you to all our supporters out there! 💜💙

Morning everyone! Shawn and I have been doing a lot of resting since we’ve been home. He is doing well but does have a little difficulty talking. The appointments begin next week. As we get more information I will update everyone.
