Ella loved school! When I went to drop her off she said "bye Mom, see you tomorrow!" She can't wait to go back! I of course missed her and couldn't wait to go back to get her!

I just wanted you all to know that I feel great! Other than being tried, I feel pretty healthy! Right now...I'm going to take more time to rest. When the kids nap..I'm going to nap and Alex and I are taking turns for the middle of the night feedings. My arm is getting better every day! My range of motion is getting better and I'm going to physical therapy. I have want might be "cording" in my ligaments maybe. I can't extend my arm all the way out. So, I'm actually going to get a 2nd opinion at Fairfax Hospital hopefully next week. My blood cuts have been great...last week almost perfect. I have chemo again today! Looking forward to taking a nap while I'm there! I'll let you know how I feel later!

Take care...

Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much!

My gosh, Ella's bookbag is bigger than her! She looks like it is a pain to carry it on her back! How cute! Let's see how she does today at school. I am sure she will do just fine. I am glad you are feeling good. It makes me happy when you are happy! My biggest desire in life is to see that my family is healthy and happy and right now I feel that is so! Keep it up!
Love, mom

Wow...your lil' girl has started school! She looks so cute! It is crazy how quickly they grow up. Lance goes 3 days a week but hasn't decided if he really likes it or not.

Glad to hear that you are feeling well and that you are making time to rest. It is important to take care of yourself.

By the way....great pic of you and Shawn...FUNNY stuff!

We love you!

Mina, Steve and Lance

Jual,
I have known you for many years and I know that you are a very strong person. I known that we have not seen each other inyears but my love for you and concern for you will never go away or change.
I can remember the night that me, you, Shawn and Kim went to Pizza Hut for dinner and the next day at school you got sick and you had your appendix taken out. We were so young then but you were so strong then that I can only imagine how much stronger you are now. I know that you can get through this!
If I could take your place or take your pain away I would. But I can offer to giv eyou my ears to listen, my shoulder to cry on, my arms to hold you, and my heart to love you and support you through this. You have a wonderful family. I know this because they were more of a family to me growing up then my own family was. Please let me know what I can do even if its just sit there and let you cry or yell.


I Love You!!
