A beautiful March Day

I have not posted anything in a few months - but don't you believe for as second that nothing happened during that time.

So you do not have to read everything - Adele is OK! No active Cancer anywhere for over 2 years, God Bless the Stem cell Transplant.

January was a month of frustration for Adele, while she called JH many times to see when we will get our 2 year appointment. That stretched into February and then Dr Balpur, in Lancaster, had an appt with us. He was slightly put off by the platelet count and a possible lump under Adele's arm, and ordered more blood work and a PET scan. Adele was at a higher level of frustration all month, expecting that, again, something was wrong with her, and JH just never called for her 2 year.

Late in Feb we finally got a call from JH that was more of a panic call from them. Adele's last immunizations were due on Jan 21st, and to be done by JH, but they forgot. So when they finally called, she brushed it off, since she was thinking about the immunizations all along, and had our family doctor give them to her. We still need to protest to SS and her supplement plan about the no coverage for one of the shots.

March came on us fast, the weather is changing, and yet more doctors appts. All of her doctors are giving her a good checkup and pleased with the results. Oh - the PET scan results came back and were negative for ANY ACTIVE CANCER. Then the second blood test showed the platelets jumped back into her 'normal' zone, which is low according to the charts. But I am obese according to the charts, while I am really just lovably round and hugable.

Other items happening, were our trip to Augusta GA, to help our daughter and family with their move into a new house. Their new school district is much better, with an elementary school within 1/2 from their house. Beautiful area, with walking trails to the Savannah River and a small dock on the river.

With Adele agreeing, I will be leaving on April 28th, for this years "One Lap of America" by Brock Yates. We will visit 10 different racetracks east of the Mississippi in 8 days, racing at each of them. There are 18 total races in an 8 day period from Apr 30th - May 7th. It all starts and ends at South Bend, IN. More info at One Laps website I am part of the Jimbob Racing team, with Jim Roberts driving all races, while I will be assisting in any way I can, especially with driving between tracks every afternoon, and night. 8 days of endurance and stress, both for the car and the participants. I have a blog for the race, and we will be raising money for PA Breast Cancer Coalition during this race, and all summer.

Adele is going back to GA for a mini vaca during the time I will be having a great time. Oh, Ruby was just in the hospital for 3 days, she had a severe breathing problem, that appears to be asthma. I hope it goes away as she gets older, I hate to think of a 2 1/2 year old always carrying around an inhaler. Love her so much, it hurt us both to think she had to go to the hospital, but her Mom & Dad took great care of her, with Julie never leaving her side and cuddling with her all the time. Ruby was a model patient, so all the nurses and doctors loved helping her. She went back home Monday and they are getting back into normal life.
