Quick Update

Alas - the Alf reversal is now tentatively scheduled for April 11 - final go/no-go decision to be made once the test results are reviewed following the March 30 and April 2 baseline testing followed up by additional meetings on April 4 and April 5 with the Oncologist and Surgeon......i now at least have a date to look forward to ......

After a few more back spasm episodes it was determined that this beat up body had secretly decided to celebrate the conclusion of the chemotherapy by passing a kidney stone.....been a rough few days but i am hoping it has passed and this is not just the calm before the storm (which would be my luck)..........someday i would like to try an illness that does not involve alot of pain............

I was treated to a celebratory cake at Opsis this week for finishing my chemotherapy - it was a nice tasty surprise.........


Connor is starting to hear from the schools he applied to so there should be lots of news (hopefully good) in the next few weeks - this week he was wait listed at Providence College (they received 10,000 applications for 900 freshman spots) and was accepted to University of New Hampshire so you know mom is pretty excited.

Off to Sunriver next week for spring break...........

Stay Healthy - 
Best

Hi Chris,
Love this photo with the boys!
Good news for Connor and I would
love to see him in NH. Rick's son,Ryan,is going to Manhatten and Michelle's daughter, Isabelle, has not yet decided. She's waiting on Cornel and has been accepted at Delaware. It would be fun to get them together this summer.
Rick's daughter, Alex, graduates in May from Quinnepiac.
The cake looks delicious and I am so happy chemo is behind you.
Thinking of you and family and prayers will keep coming your way.
Lots of love,
Ginger
