I am so sorry brother. Please call me anytime at 7313071451. I would love to talk and have you tell me about your father. The fact that he raised someone as loving and compassionate as you tells me he was a good man.

I appreciate it brother. My mom and I stood there with my dad as he went to t he Lord on Tuesday. He was 65. Only a couple years retired from 27 years in the USAF. Great man. His funeral is next weekend when my brother is back from Russia working. Hope your wife is doing well, God bless you and yours. The Lord was so amazing in this process, miracle after miracle. Try to spend some time in prayer Duncan, if you truly seek Him with faith, i promise you that you will find Him, and t hat He will comfort your family. It's not about rules with God, it's about a relationship. Promise bro

Guys anytime any of you want to talk you can reach me on my cell at 7313071451. Lauras room phone number is 6154210752. Me and her both would love to hear from you. I will admit that most nights when shes asleep and I'm up by myself I wouldn't mind the company. I was already an night owl and insomniac before all this happened and even more so now.

I want to let everyone know that I spoke with Dennis earlier tonight.
He, and all of his kids, fell victim to that nasty flu that has been going around.

Dennis is back on his feet and will be giving us an update soon.

Hey Nation I am so sorry for the absence. Laura infection took a nasty turn around 10 days ago and to add to that my son brought home the flu last Wednesday. Laura was able to fight the infection back and they now believe she won't loose her leg. The MRSA is now only in her arm. The wound on her leg will need skin graphs but it looks healthy and barring anymore setbacks I believe the MRSA will be cleared in a week or so.

The best news comes on the Cancer front. Her last spinal tap showed she is blast free in her brain and spine. Her white count has went down for 4 days straight and her platelet count is going up on it's own. There is still cancer in her blood but the doctors are confident that one or 2 more big rounds of chemo will get her into her initial remission.
Of course I'm under no illusions that the cancer won't return but the initial remission is the hardest for adults with the ALL so as long as we stay on top of things I could have her around for a good while yet. I know the long term outlook still isn't great but 25-40% 5 year outlook odds is still pretty damn good. Her fight puts over 50% in my mind. It's been nearly 2 months and her will has never wavered once, even when the cancer was in her brain and we thought she would loose her leg.

The worst part of having that damn flu was not being able to be here with her for a week. That nearly ate me alive but we made it through.

I'll be back on in a couple hours to finish the update and give some personal thanks
