It's been a while

Well, there doesn't appear to be much to say. I've only been contacted twice.

I can tell you that I have had to stop working due to my health. It was a very difficult decision but my doctor convinced me that it meant my life so like it or not, here I am. I've been out since late June and am feeling better than when I was working with so much mental & physical stress. I am greatful for my family in this time, especially my husband Russ. I have been so blessed to have him.

The rest of the family is doing well. Lots of sports, gymnastics and school activities. Jake's (Heather's son) baseball team went to the state All Star playoffs. They did very well. Alex (Jamie's son) is on the Leeds Elementary Jump Rope Team. If you ever get the chance, check it out. It's worth it. All of the kids are doing well and I'm proud that they are always on the honor roll.

It's hard to think back all the way to June to catch up with all that's been going on with me but I'll try to update this every now & then. It'd be nice if you would send info to me about your family from time to time. Send pictures and I'll put them on the site.

Don't forget to send ideas for next year's reunion so we can toss them around.

That's all for now.

Joan's Good News

This is an email I received from Aunt Joan (Wyatt). Please keep her in your prayers and don't forget to thank Him for this wonderful news.

"I have the most wonderful news to tell you. Last week when I saw the Dr he said my
CA125 blood test was 90; I asked him what was normal and he said he wanted my to get
down to the teens. Well that kind of took the wind out of me. I am only suppose to have 2 more treatments, but I know they may have to give me some more chemo in order to get it that low. I had blood work done today and I asked the nurse what my count was originally and she said she didn't have my chart. She also said 35 was negative so I took that to mean anything below that was good. Well she just called me a little while ago and told me my count is 23. Hallelujah so surely the next 2 treatments will bring it down to the teens. Isn't that great? I really had a rough weekend, stayed in bed all day Sat. but I am a lot better today. Pass my good news on please."
