I'd like to thank...

After watching the Academy Awards the other night, I had a dream. In it, I started my speech by thanking the academy & then I said, "No wait, I want to thank my friends and family for all the support over this past year." LOL Can you believe it has now been a full year since this story began? It was last February when I tried to get into the chemo study at NIH for the optic nerve tumor.

I have done a lot of reflecting as I have been laying around this last month. Not a day goes by that I don't think about all that everyone has done. I hope you all know how much I truly appreciate every little thing - be it a phone call, a visit, a card, etc...

I've been down for the count the last month. I continue to have an infection and remain on antibiotics via a pump that I schlepp around with me 24 hours a day. I just completed week four & have at least 3-4 more weeks to go. I have an MRI scan in three weeks to see if the infection is clearing up.

Alyssa and I are going to Florida next week to stay with my aunt in Fort Meyers, FL, along with my cousin and her two boys. I hope the sunshine will work wonders on my energy level!
