Dear Family and Friends,

First, we would like to thank you all immensely for all the love and support you have shown us in the past few weeks. We realize that this e-mail is not very personal but we thought it was necessary to reach out to those of you who have shown so much concern.

We would like to start a e-mail to keep you all informed. We know that there is a lot of uneasiness and in order to keep the house quieter, and to keep our sanity we are hoping that this approach can keep everyone better informed and help us from having to be on the phone every minute of every day. We will try to update on things you all would like to know about, such as when certain treatments are starting.

We really do appreciate all the love support and offers of help. We would really like to thank all of you for the meals, grocery's, help with the daycare and especially the thoughts and prayers.

As of today we are still waiting on a treatment schedule. Today (Monday) is a day full of appointments and will hopefully bring the first radiation treatment. Right now, she is still very tired, extremely short of breathe so treatment can't start soon enough. So many have offered help with rides and until we know times and dates we don't know how much outside help we will need. But chances are we will be contacting those of you who have offered.

We'll keep you informed on her daily condition. Most days she is up to visitors and phone calls but there are days where she is not. We continue to try and instill the method that has worked best for us so far, please contact us before stopping in.

E-mail and texting are really practical ways to get ahold of us. It is very waring to answer the phone and the same questions all day but we do try our best.

Please feel free to to forward any e-mails to people you think might be appropriate but please also remember our mother is a very private person and would like to keep details of her illness as such.


Thank you all so much
Kyle, Dana and Chad
