A good week

It's been over a week since last posting - I have been dreading somewhat the putting down of what has been happening.

Last week on Friday evening, Adele noticed swelling in the groin area, and spent the weekend dreading the possibility of cancer coming back. Friday night and Saturday were not easy times here in the Stauffer household.

Sunday, I went to "Young Eagles Fly-in" at Capital City Airport. We had 6 Corvettes there, CPCC also had 6 - 8 Corvettes there and there were also Vipers, a Prowler, some hot rods, many police cars, Harleys and of course planes and helicopters. The State Police helicopter was on display, as was a military plane. The kids enjoyed riding with us - getting to 70 mph as fast as they could and just having fun. The police cars had sirens blasting and lights flashing during all of their rides - kind of spooky gunning the engine and having a police car behind you with the siren blaring, and not stopping you. I left early when I called Adele and she said she had called Mom and was with her - another bad day.

Monday - oncologist appointment at 4:15 and he was very pleased with her progress so far, and downplayed any possibility the cancer could possibly come back so soon, even after his exam. Adele started to feel better almost immediately and we stopped in Lititz for dinner with Mom & Dad before going home.

Tuesday - Thursday, very minor breaks in the good feeling for Adele. She is trying to get out and do more, for strength building and just to get away from the house. Good idea is what I think. Next Monday is another oncologist appt. so I will probably wait to post more until then. If he feels concerned, or a least bit suspicious about anything, he will order a Cat scan for next week.

See you all next week then - Rick Stauffer
