Hello everyone! Just a quick reminder to those who want to attend the golf outing or the dinner on May 22, that registration is due next Friday the 7th. Deanna said the golf outing only has a few slots left, so get your team in before it’s too late. Still plenty of room for the dinner!

My chemo has been going well. I have had some issues with low blood counts, so I need to supplement my treatments with neupogen shots for 3 days after each chemo. Billy is the lucky one to give me these shots and is surprisingly good at it! It stimulates the white blood cells in my bone marrow and gives my blood counts a boost. I will have another series of scans done in about 4 weeks to get a progress report on how well everything is working. Fingers crossed that things look better.

That’s all for now! Jess STILL has yet to have her baby, so stay tuned…should be any day now! :)
