No News

Nothing really important happening today, but tomorrow starts with a CT scan, and a CT scan with contrast. Dave has to drink a lot of contrast media, so he isn't looking forward to that! Molly, Stella, and Sully left today back to Kalispell, and arrived safely. It was hard to see them go, but they plan on returning in July, this time with Jeff coming along. Every day it seems as though I meet someone else who is fighting the battle of cancer. Today, I met a 28 yr. old young lady, her 15 yr. old brother, and her mother. The 15 yr old is a stem cell donor for her sister. It would be really nice if they were mentioned in your prayers. There are people here from all over the world; brothers from Saudi Arabia, people from the Netherlands, England, and all over the United States. Ripley is definitely a "conversation starter". He is quite well-known here at the hotel and is receiving all sorts of attention. I hope Dave doesn't feel too slighted!!!

  1. Dave & Jenn,
    Glad to hear everything is going great and that you are getting a little down time from all test,
    treatments, and whatever else they put you through.Sounds like you have been meeting a lot of interesting people.the weather here has been off and on, a little rain, a little sun, and a whole lot of wind. Probably much the same in Seattle.
    I bet you enjoyed seeing Molly and the kids.But you need the time to rest too, and they will be back.
    Rich and I and Brian will be coming out During the week of Jul 15. maybe the weather will be nicer then.
