| Heather, Dennis, and Erin with a Baby boy bot in the belly! |
It was sunny in the mile high city of Denver as we landed in the Plains ( of Kansas) to visit Heather after her surgery for the removal of a Schwanomma and see Erin and Glen. Many thanks to our friends The Qualls for giving us a pace to stay. We now have the great news that Heather is recovering well, out walking with her dog Charlie, and the happy (Erin and Glen) couple is expecting a boy in September. Then we were off to visit Dennis's mom Betty in Missouri and to celebrate mom's day with her. We saw lots of relatives, went to a graduation party, and enjoyed the relatively cool spring weather. Then we were back through Seattle for a visit to the oncologist and another MRI. Dennis has been feeling less pain in his hands and fists and that is good. He has been experiencing some spins in his brain that make him feel poorly. The oncologist has cut the amount of melatonin he is taking from 20 mg to 10 mg. The MRI results indicate that the rumors have not changes in size, they are stable, and some new flourescing areas are still present. So we are to return in two months. Next week we celebrate being together 20 years. We'll take a short break and go to Long Beach in southwest Wahington state. We are staying in a b&b and going to just chill for awhile. Then back north to Seattle to see the retina specialist and see if there is any more bleeding in the left eye. We really want all of you to know that the blogspot will be continued to keep you up to date. Faith has been really busy at work since March: a youth art show, a youth and educator summit on climate change, and lastly the completion of two interpretive films for the visitor centers. We hope to spend more time with each other as the year progresses. Happy summer to you all, Faith and Dennis
