Update from Rochelle...

Please if you have not had a chance to read Rochelle's breast Cancer blog she has updated. Sorry for all the jumping back and forth I was never able to figure out how to get on that blog to post. http://rolumpybreast.blogspot.com/

Old and New...

Blasted blogger is not cooperating. The top picture is from 2007 before she had cancer of the Schultz family (You can see that awesome long blond hair I mentioned below). Some family pictures from 2009. and the bottom pictures are more recent.

Nothing new today, just pictures.

Day 11...

Rochelle is still in the hospital, and for now she wants to be there so they can manage the pain. They have put her on the pain patch so she can go home eventually but I guess it took a little time for the Patch to kick in. Ryan reported that Rochelle had a little sense of humor today not sure if it is from the pain meds. or just that they now have the pain under control and she is just feeling a little better.

My sister Chauntel(#3) is flying in from Dallas, TX tonight to stay at Rochelle's house and take care of her kids, laundry and cooking, etc. Chauntel did this a couple weeks ago and it was a real comfort to Rochelle to know everything was taken care of. I am so grateful and a little jealous that Chauntel is in a position to do this for Rochelle and her family.

Sisters...

Sorry you are only getting these updates from my view as a sister and even worse a sister who lives hundreds of miles from Rochelle. As my son says, "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit". These pictures are of Rochelle(#1), Me(#5), and Kendall(#4), and Ro and her daughter Kamden. These were taken in March at the monster truck show. Look how beautiful Rochelle is. Growing up Rochelle had long blond hair and I always thought she was the most beautiful person ever, I wanted to be just like her. I asked my mom to send me some more pictures, why? because I love pictures!

Rochelle is still in the hospital, I will let you know when things change. I loved this, my mom told me today that one of the nurses told her that when Ryan is with Rochelle and he comes to visit you can tell how in love they are. AWWWW!

I love reading all the notes and messages on here and Facebook it is very comforting to me to know so many people know and love Rochelle and are praying for her. Thank you!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Hey everyone this is Bailey, Rochelle's little sister or as she has referred to me sister #5. I am updating on behalf of Rochelle, hopefully I can keep you all in the loop.

Rochelle had a two tumors removed from the back of her brain a couple weeks ago in Seattle, everything went well until they got home and she could not keep anything down. After a few days of not feeling so great she had another surgery and in terms we can all understand because I am not a doctor, she had permanent tubes put in both kidneys to drain them. She also has pancreasitis, once again not a doctor, but when I looked it up basically it is inflamed pancreas. She has not been able to eat much lately. When I spoke with her tonight she is on a high dose of pain meds. but she is in good spirits. Anyone who knows Rochelle knows she is the strongest and most amazing person. She is not going to let a little thing like surgery and doctors get her down. I am hearing that they are hoping to send her home in the next day or two.She has currently been in the hospital for 9 days, she is ready to be home.

If you have questions please contact her mother or sisters for more information. You can leave a message on her blog or Facebook. I will try to check it regularly. Please DO NOT contact Rochelle or her family at this time. If you want to leave well wishes or messages do it on here or Facebook. Thank you.

I am sure she would appreciate your prayers as well!

My shameless plug...Remember everyone October is Breast Cancer Awareness month ladies go and get checked, and men encourage your ladies to get checked.
