When last we spoke I was updating everyone quickly regarding
Patti’s most recent MRI and the ‘stable’ result. This basically means that the tumor and none
of his friends have shown back up.
Miracles happen, don’t ya know.
Two Saturday’s ago daughter Kiley and her friend Lindsey
Richardson gathered a group to run (walk!) in a Brain Cancer Research Fund
Raiser. It was just fabulous. Not only did dear friends of Kiley’s partake
in this early morning event but fiancées and parents of her classmates also got
up before dawn. Of course the winners of
this event are the fighters like Patti who receive such wonderful moral support
as well as the research centers who will one day make this curse a memory.
Then last week Patti’s older brother Bob Thompson and wife
Alison came down from Annapolis. Bob and
Alison met the same summer as Patti and me and got married the same month as us
but in New Orleans. We all had a
wonderful visit to Erymwold and went to Bulldog tailgates though we watched the
fabulous victory against LSU back in the country, where the wine is chilled and
the restrooms ‘pleasant’. But what a
game!
Tomorrow Cathy Bailey an old UGA classmate of mine and
resident of NYC since 1976 flies thru Atlanta on her way to a friend's child's wedding. We'll get her for a night on the back end. Cathy is a treasure and Kiley’s godmother. There will be no idle moments with Cathy in
town.
So there, the patient is feelin’ fine and the home and
hearts are full. The cards continue to
arrive and our spirits rise with each one.
Thanks for the prayers.
