Pump that woman full of new blood, and what do you get? A new woman with renewed energy. So much, in fact, that she and dad, along with good friends, Annette and Bob, are leaving Tuesday through Thursday for a stay at another McMenamin's Hotel in Oregon. The foursome is working on meeting their goal of staying at all of the hotels in this chain. You'll have to have them explain their enthusiasm - it's infectious.
We do want you all to know that Mom and Dad will be gone because when they were gone for a few days last weekend, people panicked when they couldn't get hold of Mom and Dad. So if they don't answer the phone or return phone calls this week, now you know that they are out having a good time.
Other than having to have another blood transfusion due to anemia, Mom is doing pretty well. She will start another round of chemo when she returns this Thursday. This current type is gradually slowing the spread of the cancer. Doctor Blau is pleased that the myeloma on Mom's skin is so much improved. The area near Mom's right eye, where the tumor was removed, looks great - just a small scar.
Theresa & Tony, their three kids and five grandkids were here this weekend; what a treat. We had a wonderful campfire this evening: hot dogs, clam patties, baked beans, broccoli salad, watermelon, cherry pie, and S'MORES! The evening was clear, windless, cold on our backsides, and hot on our fronts!
Holding all of you in our thoughts and prayers!
