Today is Mom's 60th bday...don't mention that I told you. She is doing really well. She had a "non chemo" week full of activity. She saw friends & family all week & weekend. It was really good for her to see everyone. She is feeling really well. She was able to make the trip to Lambeau and cheer on the Packers, which obviously were glad she was there since they won by A LOT. Their friends - Don & Shirley Richards - are with them in Minocqua now and leave later today. Mom & Dad head back to Mayo Tues morning for bloodwork and meeting with the doctor for an expansion. She'll have her chemo on Wed and then they'll head to Green Bay to spend the night and then to Lambeau to cheer the Pack on to Victory on Thursday (as long as she is feeling up to it...it helps when they win). Friday they return to Minocqua. Thanks for the continued well wishes. Kris

Hi Mom!
(OK, you're not my Mom, not yet anyway... just trying it out so you get used to the idea. All part of my "Please Adopt Me" Plan. Hi, Sis!)

I know this has been quite an ordeal for you, Kathy, and for all of you (Duane, Kim, Kris)...scary and stressful and sad. I say, cry when you need to! (I cry all the time. Not always sure why exactly or if it's helping but when the tears come I let them go! Kimmie knows all about this!) And, laugh whenever you can! Rent your favorite comedies, surround yourself with funny people, go to see standup comedians or watch them on TV when you can... not only is this all fun but it's good medicine. : )

I absolutely believe in your body's power to heal. Truly. I know it.

You're all in my thoughts and prayers always. Much love,
Michele
