Hi Everyone,

This has been a pretty good weekend for Mary. Once the "support drugs" wore off, Mary began to ragain some strength and felt better. Her hair began coming out in clumps on Friday, so at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday, she went to her hair dresser and had her head shaved. Still, she continues to display a tremendous amount of courage.

I took her on a picnic today and a nice drive north of Denton. We had a great day together and she was able to focus on some things other than her disease.

Mary misses our granddaughters, Ava and Allie. Little Allie had her vacinations on Wednesday and Mary's Oncologist suggested she not be around her for ten to fourteen days afteward. It's hard for her and for Emily but, I am going to see that her Oncologists suggestions are met. The way time fly's, it won't be long until she can hold little Ava and Allie again. It's hard now, because they certainly cannot know or understand what their Grammie is going through but, this battle will be over before we know it and their Grammie will be well and right back to spoiling them as she did before this terrible disease came along.

Thank you all for your continued support and prayers. Please keep sending the prayers up, I can assure you that God is listening and is right here with us on this journey and He will see us through.

Thanks,

Ron
