LOL!!  I love the diva girl and Kevinator bit!  That's funny!!

Everyone is doing well.  Kevinator (aka Juliana) is squealing like a banshee right now.  Diva girl (Elisa) is trying to join in the fun and Andrew wishes to escape.

We had the school fun fair last night.  It really was a blast!  The kids were thrilled!  The Leukemia Lymphoma Society came and did a table display for Pennies for Patients.  Andrew is the mid-atlantic chapter's "poster child".  Schools, that participate in the program, across the mid atlantic area are learning about Andrew as they learn about the disease.  He's spoken a couple of times at various schools and thrives in doing it!  I see public speaking in his future!  We had him on the school announcements this week and asked the kids to bring in their pennies and spare change.  Well, the response was phenomenal!!!  We had 5 boxes, about 6 or 7 inches square, for kids to drop their money in.  After 3 hours, all were heavy.  We consolidated all the money into 2 boxes that are heavier than lead and filled to capacity!!  We're very happy w/ the response!

Health wise?  Andrew's meds have been adjusted (gotta remember to dose him up this a.m.).  And he read an entire beginner's chapter book in 2 days and wants the next one!  This is a HUGE deal!!  His CT scans last week showed something enlargement, BUT NOT outside the norm and the oncologist says NOT TO WORRY!  HE felt the neck area and said it feels normal.   Andrew's allergies have been bugging him and he had some virus last week, so that could account for the enlargement.  We follow the doc's lead and aren't worried.  Andrew's doing great right now. Has tee ball practice today, Go Raptors!  :)

Thanks so much for asking and caring!  And yes, my girls are fine, too.  All are growing like weeds!  We had a fun spring break, stayed home and did a little something every day to make kids happy.  Best idea was the paint your own pottery one.  They picked a small figurine and we just got the finished products back yesterday.  VERY happy kiddos!

So happy to hear your kids are faring well Kim...makes my recent illnesses seem trivial and your children are so much braver than I am.

I'm moving along...got some more tests & doc visits to try and determine something that has been bothering me lately.  My wife's pregnancy is going ok...although she aquired gestational diabetes and anemia.  But these things aren't that uncommon.  Thanks for asking...

Thanks folks!  Sens, what's going on with you?  Are you sure you're alright?  You'll be in my prayers!

And nospin, I'm really concerned for you.  Do you have a good internist???  I've been following your concerns (just not saying much), but I'm getting worried for you.  Please let me know how you're doing!

Count me in there too.

Get one of those Sun-Saturday and 4 times a day organizers or do what my Mom did.  She had a yellow Sun-Sat pill organizer for Mornings (sunny), a white one for the middle of the day, and a dark blue one for night (dark=night). 

Then you know if you took them or not.  You DO have to remember to refill them though!
