All the News That's Fit to Blog About



 

I got an email from a friend last week reminding me that Patti’s friends and family need to hear news, even if it is not so dramatic.  This post may fall into that category.

Patti is doing really well.  She just finished her second maintenance regimen of Temodar, her chemo medicine.  Since it’s almost three times as powerful as the first dose she started in March, this stuff has the potency to really floor Patti, but she just does not complain.  We have another MRI on the 16th and I'll post news about that when we know it.  Prayers graciously solicited.  Speaking of chemo drugs…. Though I’m far from being an expert, I have learned the hard way about individual medical plans.  There’s good, there’s bad and then there is ours.  Anyone shopping for medical insurance please give me a call.  I have some advice.

I’m going to tell a brief antidote about our patient.  It’s been an unusual July for the family having nothing to do with Patti’s condition.  Erymwold got robbed while we were away and the monsoon Georgia is enjoying this month has gotten the basement wet for the first time in my memory.  Maybe ever.  Last Saturday after a dinner out while I was scrambling all over the house chasing towels and sump pump fuses, our patient just lay in the bed with a modest smile.  Nothing was going to faze Patti.  She had her priorities in order and knew extra stress might jeopardize the miracle we are building.  In the end, as she knew, all is well.

Our bounty of good will continues unabated.  Thanks so much to everyone.  And next week we will have another visit from brother Tim who now lives in Palm Springs.  Also coming to Atlanta next week are two of Patti’s college pals from DC.  There will be noise.

 



I don't iron.  But it's a nice view
